From Timekeeper to Strategic Architect: The Evolution of WFM

In this insightful episode of the WeWFM podcast, host Doug Casterton sits down with Brad Cleveland, founding partner of ICMI and author of "Contact Center Management on Fast Forward." They explore how workforce management has evolved from a basic support function to a strategic differentiator in modern contact centers. Brad shares his four decades of experience working with organizations across 60 countries, explaining how AI is amplifying rather than replacing WFM and why explaining "the why" behind forecasts is crucial for building trust with operational leaders.

The conversation delves into practical advice for WFM professionals seeking a seat at the leadership table, the importance of developing T-shaped skillsets, and why we must never lose sight of the human element despite technological advances. Brad's vision of WFM as a "living, breathing ecosystem" rather than a set of rigid processes offers valuable insights for anyone looking to future-proof their workforce management strategy as we approach 2030 and beyond.
