AI is rapidly changing how organisations operate, learn and grow, and it’s moving faster than many traditional talent and organisational models were designed to handle. As intelligent technology becomes part of everyday work and decision-making, leaders are being challenged to rethink how they build talent, skills, leadership and capability for the future.

This session brings together senior leaders who are shaping a more adaptable, collaborative and human-centred approach to the future of work. We will explore how leadership teams are stepping outside of functional silos and reshaping systems, culture and workforce strategies so people and technology can succeed side by side.

We will look at why talent strategy, skills development, learning and AI adoption can no longer be treated as separate priorities and what it takes to align them into one joined-up transformation. The discussion will also highlight how organisations are building trust, readiness and the agility needed to make the most of the next stage of AI in the workplace.

Discussion points
