Psychosocial risk is becoming one of the biggest workforce conversations and many organisations are responding with wellbeing programs, awareness training and support services. But what if some of the biggest contributors to psychosocial risk are hiding somewhere else entirely? In the latest edition of The Business Blindspot, Greenbeam CEO Cia Kouparitsas explores a different perspective... What if excessive workload, role ambiguity, poor change experiences and perceived unfairness aren't just wellbeing issues? What if they're workforce design issues? When organisations can't clearly see capability, capacity and how work is distributed, pressure builds in ways that are often invisible until the consequences start showing up as burnout, disengagement or risk. It's a timely conversation as organisations adapt to new psychosocial risk obligations and rethink how they identify and manage workforce risk. Do you think organisations are focusing enough on the root causes of psychosocial risk, or are we spending too much time treating symptoms?

This week's edition of The Business Blind Spot is live and it tackles a challenge almost every organisation is grappling with right now. AI rollouts. New operating models. Automation. ERP implementations. We're investing enormous amounts of time assessing technology readiness, but often very little time assessing workforce readiness. The result is projects that look great on paper but struggle to deliver the outcomes leaders expected. In this article, Cia Kouparitsas explores why workforce readiness is becoming one of the most overlooked risks in transformation, and why the organisations seeing the greatest return from change are treating capability with the same rigour they apply to technology.

Join Emma Connolly, Talent and Organisational Development Director at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), as she shares insights on capability frameworks, workforce planning and organisational readiness alongside experts from Future Skills Organisation and Greenbeam.

We are officially in the era of vibe coding. AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to experimentation. Smart teams can now prototype tools and automate workflows faster than most organisations can finish a procurement process. But there’s a tension emerging that we need to pay attention to: There’s a big difference between building something that works… and building something we can confidently rely on, especially when it comes to making high-stakes decisions. In the latest edition of The Business Blindspot, Greenbeam CEO Cia Kouparitsas explores the rise of “vibe coded” workforce tooling, why workforce capability data becomes much more complicated the moment real business decisions depend on it, and the hidden risks organisations may be underestimating as they rush to build internally. Would love to hear perspectives from others — especially the vibe coders and AI builders experimenting with internal tooling right now. Curious where people think the line sits between rapid experimentation and business-critical infrastructure.
