We are entering an era where the most effective teams aren’t just high-performing—they’re AI-augmented. The CHRO who understands how to harness this shift will lead a workforce that is faster, smarter, and exponentially more adaptive. AI is not simply a tool. It is now a core component of how work gets done, how value is created, and how leadership must evolve.

As a CHRO, your role is no longer limited to enabling talent. It’s about designing the systems, skills, and structures that empower humans and machines to operate in concert. The opportunity is to move from incremental improvement to exponential capability, redefining how productivity, performance, and potential are built across the enterprise.

Discussion points

How to redesign work environments and workflows that combine human judgment with AI-powered execution
How to define and track new productivity metrics for AI-augmented roles and teams
How to build a dynamic upskilling system that continually develops future-ready, AI-fluent talent
