Episode 31: The Pressure to Know: HR, AI, and the Performance of Expertise

In conversations about AI, talent, and the future of work, HR leaders are increasingly expected to have a point of view.Not just to be informed, but to guide. To make sense of what is happening, often while it is still unfolding.This episode explores that space.Rather than focusing on AI itself, Giovanna D’Alessio looks at what it means to engage with topics that are still evolving, where knowledge is partial and perspectives keep shifting.It’s a reflection on how HR leaders position themselves in those moments. How they speak about what they know, what they don’t, and how they stay credible without pretending the picture is fully clear.The episode takes a closer look at the experience of learning while being expected to already know, and at the subtle dynamics that come with it.The Orange Twist is hosted by Giovanna D’Alessio, MCC — reflections on leadership, culture, and change for HR professionals and organizational leaders.
