Crayon Blog: A Smarter Way to Compete – How AI Is Reinventing Competitive Intelligence

Posted on by

In a world where two thirds of sales opportunities are competitive—and those opportunities close at 5x the rate of non-competitive ones—competitive intelligence (CI) is a necessity. Yet most companies aren’t just underperforming—they’re flying blind. That’s why Crayon’s Jon White, SVP of Product, joined 3Sixty Insights’ GTM Innovators podcast to talk with Kyle James about how AI is changing the CI game forever. This post breaks down Jon’s key takeaways and what your team can do to compete smarter, faster, and with more impact. Why Competitive Enablement Is Broken (And How AI Can Help Fix It) Competitive intelligence used to be a manual grind: scanning websites, collecting review site quotes, reading press releases, and trying to translate all that noise into something useful for your reps. This is the […]

eightfold Blog: In a Year of Uncertainty, Focus On Upskilling

Posted on by

Upskilling and reskilling directly address HR’s known challenges, yet according to our Annual Eightfold Talent Survey, only two-thirds of departments are prioritizing this approach. Upskilling can reduce turnover and costs and is less risky than hiring and onboarding new employees. It also better enables teams and companies to adapt to change. HR teams’ efforts at upskilling are often stymied by misalignment, not understanding your workforce’s current skills, and an inability to identify new employee opportunities. Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “Nothing is certain except for death and taxes.” This guaranteed uncertainty of life extends to every dimension of business: revenue, expenses, technology, market trends, and, of course, hiring. Many organizations are unsure how to or where they should grow their workforces and develop slates for new positions. However, […]

eightfold Blog: Survey Says…HR and Business Goals Are Frequently Out of Sync

Posted on by

When HR works as a proactive consultant, businesses are better positioned to accomplish their strategic objectives. And yet, a recent survey found that there’s often a disconnect between HR and strategy, leading to misunderstandings throughout organizations.

When HR and business strategy work in sync, organizations can drive key initiatives, attract top talent, and secure long-term success. Yet, a global disconnect between the two often leads to misalignment and employee misunderstandings, hindering progress. That’s the finding of our Annual Eightfold Talent survey conducted with 3Sixty Insights on HR and talent strategy, which polled 1,700 people across the globe. When a department such as HR isn’t valued, […]

Unit4 Webinar: The Big Talent Conundrum | March 19th @ 11am Eastern

Posted on by

The talent market has become increasingly complex. It’s no longer the post-pandemic landscape where millions of people left their jobs in search of new opportunities in a market full of promise. While there are still millions of open positions, accessing them has become more challenging. On top of this, we now face the “Great Disconnect” and the “Great Disenchantment.” People no longer feel connected to their work, the organization’s goals, or their future. This disconnect is something we need to address. As talent leaders, it’s crucial to have a clear strategy for identifying gaps, addressing them through internal or external sources, and effectively onboarding talent. To ensure growth, you need the right people in the right roles and must focus on their development to retain […]

theHRDIRECTOR – Overworked Americans

Posted on by

Over the past few months, as part of Dylan’s research with 3Sixty Insights, he has delved deeper into the labor statistics of overwork, burnout culture, and time away from work. These fall under the broader category of work-life balance and help form a more pressing data-driven picture of employee well-being and experience. In his previous piece, ‘The Productivity Dilemma,’ he outlined how American workers are typically more productive annually than their European colleagues but are so at the cost of their overall well-being. The caveat is that American workers trail behind nations like Luxembourg, Ireland, and Norway in hourly labor productivity. In 2023, Luxembourg and Ireland worked twice the GDP per hour ($146 and $143, respectively) compared to the US ($70), which ranked between Guyana and Finland. An […]

HR Executive Article: ‘AI Is a Talent Magnet’ – How to Leverage Its Power in 2025

Posted on by

If it hasn’t happened already, McKinsey research shows that by the end of 2025, HR leaders will likely be at the center of an organizational alignment effort around enterprise technology. According to a 2024 report from the firm, many companies are expanding AI use across their operations. Half the respondents say their organizations use AI in two or more business functions, with HR surfacing in the top 10. As different departments begin to apply AI use cases, how will company and HR leaders ensure that everyone is on the same page about the core values of using the new tech? There’s a gap in organizational alignment on AI In another international report, 3Sixty Insights and Eightfold AI surveyed 500 HR leaders and 1,200 employees across six countries to […]
