How to Rewire Your Organization for Seamless, People-First Transformation

About the Panel Discussion

The pressure to transform is real, but too many organizations are learning the hard way that simply cutting jobs is not the answer. Last year, nearly 40% of leaders made layoffs because of AI, and over half now believe those cuts were a mistake. It’s clear: the smarter path forward is reskilling, not redundancy. The question is: how do you know what to reskill, whom to support, and where the real risks are?

Transformation today is about more than tech implementation; changing the workforce plays a key role too. It's about deeply understanding the skills you have, the gaps you face, and how your people power the work that matters most. Yet many organizations still lack clear visibility into their structural weaknesses, making it harder to make confident, people-first decisions. Without this insight, even the best-intended transformations can trigger disruption, disengagement, or premature exits.

Join us for a LIVE interactive panel discussion where you will learn how to lead workforce transformation with precision. Our expert panel will unpack how to redesign work, align people and structure to strategy, and develop skills for future readiness, while avoiding the pitfalls that set transformations back. You’ll hear from leaders who are developing new, less disruptive approaches to transformation and seeing stronger long-term results because of it.

Discussion Topics

• Why reskilling beats redundancy: Organizations are scaling reskilling across business units to retain talent, boost capability, and avoid the long-term costs of layoffs.

• From static org charts to dynamic workforce design: Companies are replacing rigid structures with agile, skills-based models that better align people, roles, and strategy.

• Avoiding premature AI-led layoffs: Early automation-driven cuts often backfire. A more thoughtful, insight-led approach helps protect capability and trust.

• Using AI to simplify workforce planning: AI is helping leaders spot skill gaps, model future scenarios, and streamline transformation with greater clarity.
