Navigating innovation: Trends and takeaways from HR Tech

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the HR Market Insight series on the Capital H podcast—featuring Deloitte ecosystem and alliance leaders Franz Gilbert and Matt Shannon, hosted by Kyle Forrest. In this episode, the trio explores the latest trends, challenges and innovations shaping today’s HR tech landscape, drawing insights from the September HR Tech Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. Key themes include the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, the strategic differentiation of HR tech providers and the critical importance of understanding business outcomes and ecosystem integration. Also explore the evolving role of venture capital and private equity in driving innovation, and the necessity for organizations to navigate the complex maze of technology selection with a focus on practical, user-centric solutions.

Join them as together we explore the dynamic world of HR technology and its impact on the future of work!

Everyone launched their AI agent at this conference. AI was everywhere. What resonated is we had the sincere pleasure of talking about it at our demo—which was, the question's not going to be the agent; the question’s really going to be, ‘How do you put them all together?
