SUMMARY:Why Talent Planning Breaks in Startups
DESCRIPTION:Startups often under-plan talent because they are focused on funding\, product\, customers\, and near-term execution. But as the company grows\, talent gaps become business constraints. The goal of talent planning is not simply to decide who to hire next. It is to determine what capabilities\, leadership structure\, and operating model the company will need to execute its 2027 strategy. \nPlease Note: This session is built with FORGE founders and operators in mind.
