Special Episode | “The Skeleton of the Skills-Based Org” | A Deep Dive on Job Architecture with Richard Hanson (WTW)

This special edition of the TechWolf Podcast puts the spotlight on a topic that’s often misunderstood, frequently overlooked, but absolutely foundational: Job Architecture.

Julius sits down with Richard Hanson - former founder of Jobbable and now leading Digital Strategy & Innovation at WTW - for a deep, candid exploration of the frameworks behind workforce transformation.

Whether you’re mapping skills, building a talent marketplace, or launching GenAI pilots, you’ll need a job architecture that doesn’t collapse under the pressure of change.

What you'll learn:

• What job architecture really is and why most people still get it wrong

• How to balance compensation governance with skills strategy

• Why the job architecture is “the body of the car” and skills are the fuel

• The real reason so many organizations get stuck at the starting line

• How to sell the case for architecture investment to your CFO

• Why GenAI job families didn’t exist 18 months ago, and what to do about it

• The role of AI-powered vendors (like TechWolf) in keeping architectures alive

• What a great architecture looks like from scratch - tech, teams & steps
