Executive Summit

As disruption accelerates, culture has become a critical lever for business performance, transformation, and talent resilience. CHROs are uniquely positioned to shape the leadership behaviors, employee experiences, and organizational alignment that define sustainable culture.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Transition the mindset from a generalist HR to executive coach to CEO and board
• Model effective leadership during change to support integration and resilience
• Embed core values into everyday work to prepare the workforce for future success

As organizations navigate transformation, HR leaders are increasingly expected to do more than support change. They are helping shape strategy, influence direction, and drive execution. This interactive discussion will explore how HR leaders can take ownership of business transformation, lead through uncertainty, and drive measurable outcomes. What does it take to move from supporting change to leading it?

Join this interactive discussion to explore how to:

• Lead transformation beyond traditional change management
• Turn influence into accountability and action
• Define HR's role in shaping business outcomes

AI investments are outpacing workforce readiness. Skills gaps stall adoption and stifle collaboration between humans and agents. CHROs must collaborate across the organization to align workforce, technology and business strategy to maximize impact. 

Join this session to discuss:

• Strategies for reskilling and upskilling the workforce to thrive alongside AI
• Best practices for aligning business units around a unified AI and workforce strategy
• Approaches to redesigning operating models, roles and structures for human-AI collaboration

Organizations with strong generational synergy are 9x more likely to report great work, but only 26% of employees experience this advantage. Generational differences are not obstacles, they’re opportunities often hidden by stereotypes. Drawing on research from the O.C. Tanner Institute on 5,700 employees across 17 countries, this session reveals how to turn generational friction into a strategic advantage.

Join this session to hear new research on:

• Decode generational contracts shaping today’s workforce
• Unlock five drivers of generational synergy
• Align recognition, wellbeing, and technology to generational needs

As business needs and skill requirements change, HR leaders need a new operating model for deciding how to design work and mobilize capacity. By connecting workforce data, skills, and business context, and by using AI to turn that information into better decisions, organizations can orchestrate people and intelligent systems around outcomes, enable the workforce for change, and improve processes with greater efficiency, resilience, and control.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Build a connected skills and workforce data foundation for designing work around business outcomes
• Anticipate changing capability and capacity needs, and orchestrate people and AI as demand evolves
• Enable people through change and improve workforce operations with greater efficiency, resilience, and control

Benefits complexity is accelerating, employee expectations are rising, and AI is no longer optional. The challenge for CHROs is navigating the growing complexity around choice, multiple providers and varied experiences with speed, clarity, and consistency at scale. We’ll explore how CHROs can balance high-tech innovation with a human touch approach to simplify the complexity with confidence for their people.

Join this session to discover:

• Responsible strategies for leveraging unified intelligence to enhance benefits navigation
• Streamlining administration while supporting employees during the moments that matter
• Balancing automation with human expertise anchored in trust, compliance and care

• Identifying individual motivators to reframe resistance and foster adoption
• Considering change a daily responsibility
• Communicating broader context to prepare for future disruptions
