Episode Designing the Future of Work: Akeel Mohamed Uncovering Hidden Talent & Human-Centered Transformation
💬 What if your organization’s greatest competitive edge isn’t in a new hire or strategy—but in uncovering what’s already within?
Today on Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with Akeel Mohamed, a seasoned HR leader, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and founder of Orgpath and OrgInsights—two platforms revolutionizing how organizations and individuals prepare for the Future of Work.
Akeel’s journey spans business, technology, HR transformation, and leadership strategy. He brings a rare ability to blend structure with soul, data with empathy. In this episode, he opens up about what inspired him to build tools that not only assess skills and capabilities but reveal hidden potential—within companies and the people who power them.
We dive into how leaders can use AI ethically and effectively, the mindset shifts needed for modern HR, and the blind spots holding organizations back from becoming truly adaptive, human-centered workplaces.
