Redundancy Done Right - the topic we cannot ignore

Bob Williams knows redundancy from every angle—he’s led major workforce changes at global organisations, and he’s also been on the receiving end of redundancy himself. This dual perspective gives him a rare and powerful insight into what it truly means to "do redundancy right."
With a background spanning the military, corporate leadership, and executive coaching, Bob has seen firsthand how redundancy—when handled poorly—can damage trust, derail careers, and weaken businesses. But he’s also witnessed the opposite: redundancy done with strategy, integrity, and care can protect brand reputation, retain top talent for the future, and open doors for those affected.
As the founder of ReFlame, Bob has built a movement that ensures redundancy isn’t just an end—it’s a beginning. He helps organisations navigate change with confidence while equipping individuals to rebuild, reframe, and relaunch their careers.
Today, Bob challenges leaders to redefine redundancy—because when done right, it doesn’t just soften the impact; it creates opportunities for everyone involved.

The Talent Revolution: Who Will Own Recruitment in the Future?

For decades, recruitment belonged to a select few—elite headhunting firms with deep industry ties. They controlled the talent pipelines, set the rules, and profited from exclusivity. But those days are coming to an end. The hiring landscape is shifting—fast. AI-driven platforms, social networks, and referral-based hiring are breaking down the old barriers. Talent is now more accessible than ever, and the power is slipping from traditional recruiters into the hands of companies, employees, and even everyday professionals. The question is no longer how companies find talent, but who will control the process in the years to come. Will traditional recruiters adapt or become obsolete? Will companies take full ownership of talent acquisition? Or will hiring belong to the crowd—driven by networks, referrals, and AI?
