It seems jarring to attach the word "disruption" to something as old school as talent. Technology is disruptive, digital is disruptive, mobile is disruptive… but talent?

Consider these opinions by two HR consultants who know a thing or two about today's talent landscape: Tony Steadman, a Principal with EY People Advisory Services, says that "an unprecedented reinvention of work is happening."

Meanwhile, Mike DiClaudio, a Principal in KPMG's Advisory Services, says  that "we're rapidly moving away from the way organizations have been designing jobs, career progressions, compensation structures, and competency structures for the past 100 years." One hundred years! DiClaudio goes on to say that we've seen all of that get totally upended by different organizing constructs that focus more on skills than on jobs.
