Work as we know it is being fundamentally redefined. As AI and automation accelerate, the task is not to retrofit technology into old models, but to rebuild how work is designed from the ground up. That means rethinking everything—from the shape of roles to how decisions are made and how value flows across teams.

This is not just a digital transformation. It is a work transformation. HR leaders have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to architect a new operating system for the enterprise—one where human capability and machine intelligence are intentionally combined. Getting it right means creating systems that are adaptive, inclusive, and built for continuous evolution.

Discussion points

How to redesign work by separating tasks, workflows, and decision rights across humans and AI
How to build cross-functional models that unlock efficiency without losing human ingenuity
How to align talent strategy, technology investment, and operating structure for a blended workforce
