Agenda
Breakout Sessions
Democratizing Change Management for the Enterprise
Organizations are experiencing more change than ever, yet many continue to treat change management as a communications exercise. Discover how Panasonic reimagined change management as a business capability, empowering leaders and employees to drive adoption, strengthen culture, and improve transformation outcomes.
In this session, you'll learn to:
- Gain C-suite buy-in by aligning change initiatives with business priorities
- Apply change strategies that reflect organizational context
- Embed change management capabilities beyond the HR team
Unlock Workforce Capacity for Greater Business Agility
As business needs and skill requirements change, HR leaders need a new operating model for deciding how to design work and mobilize capacity. By connecting workforce data, skills, and business context, and by using AI to turn that information into better decisions, organizations can orchestrate people and intelligent systems around outcomes, enable the workforce for change, and improve processes with greater efficiency, resilience, and control.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Build a connected skills and workforce data foundation for designing work around business outcomes
- Anticipate changing capability and capacity needs, and orchestrate people and AI as demand evolves
- Enable people through change and improve workforce operations with greater efficiency, resilience, and control
Executive Boardroom Sessions
Managing Humans, Agents and Everything Between
With the continuous pull to automate with AI, the mechanics of how work gets done are being completely rewritten. How can HR leaders go beyond basic productivity hacks to build a robust tech + human workforce strategy meant for an ambiguous future?
Join this roundtable discussion to explore:
- Understanding the logistics of a workforce that includes autonomous agents
- Structuring a modern talent architecture that keeps humans in the loop
- Protecting a borderless workforce against governance and compliance risks
Continued from the Keynote — Creating Talent, Not Finding It
Building on insights from Indeed Chief Economist Svenja Gudell’s keynote, this interactive boardroom brings executives together to translate macroeconomic trends into actionable enterprise strategy. As demographic realities collide with rapid AI adoption, traditional talent playbooks are no longer enough.
In this session, you'll discuss how to:
- Redesign early-career pathways as AI reshapes entry-level work
- Expand talent pools by developing capabilities instead of competing for talent
- Define the durable skills required for future leadership success
Stop the Slop
In some ways, we have reached AI’s trough of disillusionment where reality has not met expectations. One risk, is implementing AI without intentional planning for development, and workforces risk losing critical thinking skills while dependence on a fallible system grows.
Join this boardroom to:
- Understand and manage declining skillsets
- Implement strategies preserving competences and workforce agility
- Explore how CHROs will lead companies through the next 10 years
