Reshaping HR: What to Expect

This session will explore the new skills that will be required to AI-enable learning, onboarding and all the people processes. We must refocus on people, not tech: HR must create transparency, recourse, human accountability, leadership and skills support.

We will explore how AI impacts:

Organisational Models
Leadership and Decision-Making
People Experience, Trust and the Role of HR
Learning and Development

…. And ask the question: Where is HR going to be in all this? Leading the conversation or simply an implementation tool - or even being cut out of the equation?

Who is this for?

Senior HR and L&D professionals.
