SHRM's Blueprint for an $1300 Dumpster Fire

Send us Fan MailSHRM is trying something bold.Or depending on how this goes… something that could turn into a very expensive mess.In this episode, we break down SHRM’s upcoming “Blueprint” event — including a high-profile DEI debate featuring two very different perspectives — and why it’s getting so much attention (and pushback) across HR circles.At around $1,300 to attend, the conversation quickly shifts from “Is this valuable?” to “Who is this actually for?”We get into: The structure of SHRM’s Blueprint event and DEI debate The controversy around the speakers and their viewpoints Whether HR needs more open debate… or less of this kind of attention And the real concern: is this a meaningful conversation, or something that could spiral into a public HR dumpster fireAlong the way, we take a slightly uncomfortable middle ground: There’s value in hearing opposing viewpoints  But there’s also real risk when those conversations go sideways Because sometimes the difference between a great discussion and a complete disaster… is very, very small.Support the show
