Dashboards explain the past. Operating systems shape the future. People Analytics is becoming the hidden infrastructure that runs the enterprise, the intelligence layer that every decision depends on. This is where predictive models simulate workforce futures before investments are made, where AI copilots surface options in the flow of work, and where transparency frameworks hardwire trust into every recommendation.

The leaders who master this shift are not running a reporting function; they are running the operating system of work. In this session, we explore how People Analytics is evolving into the backbone of human and AI collaboration, powering agility, performance, and trust at a global scale.

Discussion points

How People Analytics is moving from dashboards to agentic AI systems that execute workstreams and amplify human decision-making.
Why trust, governance, and data quality are critical foundations for scaling AI in people analytics and securing internal adoption.
How AI is beginning to reshape management structures and organizational design, positioning People Analytics as the true operating system of work.
