Episode Details

Nokia was running HR for 80,000 employees across 115 countries — on 14 separate systems that couldn't talk to each other. Sound chaotic? It was. In this episode, we break down how Nokia overhauled its entire HR infrastructure into a single unified platform, layered machine learning on top to map workforce skills in real time, and achieved a stunning 95% voluntary participation rate in global talent assessments. We cover the five-step CHRO playbook Nokia used, why data consolidation has to come before intelligence, and how AI-powered screening tools fit into a skills-first HR strategy. If you're managing HR across multiple countries on legacy systems, this one's for you.
