Episode 10 - James McKay and Sravan Rajupalem - ANZ

Episode 10 of the SWP podcast welcomes James McKay, Head of Workforce Strategy and Strategic Workforce Planning and Sravan Rajupalem, Senior Data Scientist from ANZ. Really insightful and engaging conversation with James and Sravan.  James found Strategic Workforce Planning through a large restructure a number of years back which is fairly common for professionals in our space however something we’re seeing less and less of these days. Sravan has a combined Chemical Engineering and Actuarial degree and spent years modelling financial data before moving into the people space.  Interestingly, skills across different areas of data aren't atomically transferrable a it was interesting to chat about the specific nuances with Sravan. Always interesting to chat about stakeholder challenges in large organisations and James’s insights into taking stakeholders along for the SWP journey are a must for listeners. I found it fascinating how Sravan is applying methods which come from outside the people analytics space to provide people data outcomes. Great chat with interesting, engaging humans!
