About the Panel Discussion

Agentic AI represents not just the next wave of technology; it’s a fundamental shift in how work is designed, delivered, and governed. As organisations adopt increasingly autonomous AI systems capable of acting, deciding, and learning with minimal human input, the implications for HR are profound. Yet most HR teams are unprepared. Recent research shows only 21% of HR leaders are actively shaping their organisation’s AI strategy, and fewer still have adapted their processes for the era of Agentic AI.

The challenge for HR is twofold: first, to understand the risks and opportunities this technology brings for workforce structures, skills, and leadership. Second, to navigate an increasingly complex and fragmented regulatory landscape, where AI governance is becoming more localised and scrutinised. In this session, forward-thinking HR leaders will share how they’re building the systems, mindsets, and partnerships to help their organisations prepare their people for the next era of work.

Join us for a LIVE interactive panel discussion where you’ll learn how to prepare your HR function to thrive in an Agentic AI-driven world. Discover how to move beyond reactive transformation, equip your people with the skills and frameworks to lead confidently, and create strategies that protect your organisation while unlocking future workforce potential.
