AI isn’t just changing tasks — it’s rewriting the architecture of work itself. Jobs are being deconstructed into skills, roles are being reshaped into dynamic portfolios of human and digital capabilities, and organizations are shifting from rigid hierarchies to fluid ecosystems where people and AI collaborate seamlessly.

For HR leaders, this transformation presents both urgency and opportunity: to re-architect work around adaptability and skills, to ensure AI enhances human potential rather than replaces it, and to design operating models that unlock capacity and create new value. This panel explores how leading organizations are moving beyond automation to fundamentally redesign jobs, roles, and skills — creating a workforce that is agile, ethical, and future-ready.

Discussion points

How to deconstruct jobs into skills and tasks and rebuild them into adaptive, AI-enabled roles that evolve with business needs.
How to balance human and machine contributions by designing dynamic operating models where AI augments work and people focus on judgment, creativity, and empathy.
How to embed skills intelligence as core infrastructure to continuously reskill and redeploy talent, ensuring the workforce stays competitive in a rapidly shifting landscape.
