The rise of AI coaching marks a fundamental shift in how people work, learn, and grow. As every employee gains access to personalized, real-time guidance, organizations will need to rethink how they design jobs, develop capability, and measure performance.

This discussion brings together leaders from Adeo, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), Ericsson Disruption Advisors, as well as Valence, whose AI coach Nadia is the most widely used in the Fortune 500 to explore what changes when AI becomes a universal counterpart. The future isn’t just AI-augmented work—it’s an AI-plus-human operating model that elevates people while enabling the organization to move faster, learn faster, and adapt faster.
