In episode 70 of the SWP Podcast, I sat down with Bob Motion, Director Business Integration RTX Workforce Intelligence, to explore what it means to plan a workforce at scale in one of the world’s most mission-critical sectors. Bob shares how RTX is embedding SWP across a highly complex, engineering-led enterprise — balancing long-term capability planning with rapid shifts in demand, technology, and geopolitics. We dive into how strategic workforce planners can earn trust with business leaders, build credibility through data, and link workforce decisions directly to strategic priorities. From aerospace to defense to the boardroom, Bob brings practical wisdom, grounded insight, and a refreshing take on what it takes to make SWP stick in large, matrixed organizations. Whether you're in government, private sector, or consulting — this one’s packed with takeaways.
