Agenda

Breakout Session

Democratizing Change Management for the Enterprise

Organizations are experiencing more change than ever, yet many continue to treat change management as a communications exercise. Discover how Panasonic reimagined change management as a business capability, empowering leaders and employees to drive adoption, strengthen culture, and improve transformation outcomes.

In this session, you'll learn to:

  • Gain C-suite buy-in by aligning change initiatives with business priorities
  • Apply change strategies that reflect organizational context
  • Embed change management capabilities beyond the HR team


Executive Boardroom Sessions

Continued from the Keynote — Creating Talent, Not Finding It

Building on insights from Indeed Chief Economist Svenja Gudell’s keynote, this interactive boardroom brings executives together to translate macroeconomic trends into actionable enterprise strategy. As demographic realities collide with rapid AI adoption, traditional talent playbooks are no longer enough.

In this session, you'll discuss how to:

  • Redesign early-career pathways as AI reshapes entry-level work
  • Expand talent pools by developing capabilities instead of competing for talent
  • Define the durable skills required for future leadership success

Stop the Slop

In some ways, we have reached AI’s trough of disillusionment where reality has not met expectations. One risk, is implementing AI without intentional planning for development, and workforces risk losing critical thinking skills while dependence on a fallible system grows.

Join this boardroom to:

  • Understand and manage declining skillsets
  • Implement strategies preserving competences and workforce agility
  • Explore how CHROs will lead companies through the next 10 years


We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming in-person gathering
