Learning & development professionals, your day has come. As the market continues to change, organizations must pivot their talent strategies to recruit and retain employees who have become a little more choosy about things like culture, flexibility and—oh yes—the opportunity to grow their skills and careers. That’s why a rising player in this pivot are the professionals who drive learning & development (&D) programs within an organization. “The only constant in today’s talent market is uncertainty, and talent professionals are at the center of steering organizations through this change,” says Linda Jingfang Cai, LinkedIn’s VP of Talent Development. “Workplace learning is key to developing agile and resilient workforces to navigate these macro shifts.” Jingfang Cai … [Read more...] about In The War For Talent, May The Best Learning & Development Cultures Win

War On Inflation, Part 2: Restoring Leadership In Semiconductor Production
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Last week, in the first installment of the series of which the present column is second, I showed how strikingly similar the state of American industry is now to the state of American industry when the Second World War broke out. The Roosevelt Administration, in close collaboration with the leaders of the most important manufacturing industries of the day, converted us virtually overnight from a country with negligible aircraft, naval and cargo vessel, tank and other military vehicle, munitions, and strategic materials industries into the world’s great ‘Arsenal of Democracy.’ What had enabled this, I indicated, was a unique institutional pairing that we had also used during the First World War, not to mention the nation’s early industrialization along Hamiltonian lines.

Scarlett Johansson wants you to forget she founded a beauty brand
A year ago, actress and producer Scarlett Johansson launched skincare startup the Outset. But she’s hoping you’ll forget she’s a cofounder. Johansson’s brand is based on her own beauty regimen, which she describes as extremely gentle. The Outset launched in March 2022 as a direct-to-consumer brand, before Sephora and Goop picked it up two months later. More recently, the brand launched at Heyday, a chain of facial spas. The startup is still small and scrappy, with a team of just seven, but Johansson says it’s growing and ready for an international expansion. She’s also proud of the fact that a third of the brand’s customers are men, which is not typical in the beauty industry. “My husband and I use the same products, which is unusual,” Johansson says. (She’s married to Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost.) “The packaging is minimalist and fragrance free, which I think is a big selling point to men.” Johansson’s brand is part of a wave of celebrity-founded … [Read more...] about Scarlett Johansson wants you to forget she founded a beauty brand
