Welcome to the CanadianSME Small Business Podcast, hosted by Maheen Bari. The future of work may depend less on the titles people hold and more on the skills they can bring to changing business needs. Today, we explore how AI is reshaping hiring, workforce planning, and the way companies develop talent.

Joining us is Scott Morrison, Global HR Executive and Global Head of People at Beamery. With experience across SaaS, Fortune 500 companies, and nonprofits in more than 10 countries, Scott brings a global perspective on skills intelligence, internal mobility, and preparing people for an AI driven workplace.
