    Why modern org charts power workforce planning, performance management, and strategic HR insight

    HR teams are under pressure to move faster, plan smarter, and make decisions with incomplete information. In this episode, Kimberlee Henry and Daniel Galvin from ⁠OrgChart⁠ break down why traditional spreadsheets fail to deliver real organizational insight and how modern org charts are changing that. They explain how automated org chart software connects workforce data, performance metrics, and reporting structures into a single visual system that supports workforce planning, performance management, and strategic decision-making. As organizations adapt to constant change, org charts have evolved from static diagrams into dynamic data visualization tools. Kimberlee and Daniel share how HR leaders are using org charts to surface organizational insights, improve efficiency, strengthen succession planning, and support more strategic conversations across the business. In this episode, we explore how org charts have become a foundational HR technology. They discuss the limitations of spreadsheets, the time savings created by automation, and how integrating multiple data sources unlocks deeper insights into workforce structure and performance. The conversation also highlights real-world use cases and what the future of HR looks like as data visualization becomes essential to planning in a rapidly changing environment.

    Syndio CEO Maria Colacurcio on Intelligent Pay Decisions

    I talk with Syndio CEO Maria Colacurcio about the pay intelligence and what it does for employers. Companies today face a “compensation coordination crisis,” she says, where pay decisions are made in silos and often lack transparency. The pain points: inconsistency in pay decisions, inefficiency in processes and a lack of insight because of siloed decision-making. We get into understanding pay as a network effect rather than a simple transaction, and AI’s role in providing precise recommendations.   Learn more about your ad choices.
