PSPS conducts a “SkunkWorks” once or twice each year. A SkunkWorks is a six-week sprint in which a small team of members generate ideas around an HR problem or opportunity. In 2022, our team tackled how to “Reimagine Career Planning for Today’s Workplace.” The team produces a white paper published for members. If you are a PSPS member you can find it here.

CCI Consulting sponsored our 2022 SkunkWorks. As a sponsor, CCI did not contribute to the work of the team or the content of the whitepaper. In this podcast episode, Mark Saddic and Karen Delise share some of their reflections on the whitepaper and their work at CCI to help clients bring a new mindset and the program and tools required to enhance career mobility. Please learn more about CCI on their website, a blog on talent mobility and their approach to Internal Career Management.
