Agenda

Executive Boardroom Sessions

Walking the Growth-Efficiency Tightrope — Talent Acquisition and Retention

As AI and emerging technologies reshape work, CHROs must balance new-talent acquisition with retaining and reskilling existing employees. How can CHROs proactively close capability gaps and develop the evolving skills needed for growth and efficiency?

Join this session to discuss:

  • Pinpointing and closing skill gaps
  • Redesigning job architectures for new and obsolete roles
  • Scaling skill development and targeted hiring

Beyond Damage Control — Unlocking Workforce Resilience

Reactive organizational change, where CHROs have little control, leads to workforce fatigue and burnout. So, how can CHROs get ahead of this type of change to positively impact both employee performance and company culture?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

  • Implementing smart processes to reduce employee change fatigue
  • Training managers and support teams to boost workforce agility
  • Defining and reinforcing a culture of resilience and trust

Doing More with Less — Leveling Up Leadership Development

Leader and manager development is a top priority for CHROs, but oftentimes is the first on the chopping block due to budget constraints. How can HR leaders do more with less to ensure leadership development remains impactful, sustainable and aligned with evolving business needs?

Join this session to discuss:

  • Maintaining speed and quality in leadership development
  • Operationalizing a skills-centric approach
  • Ensuring programs demonstrate meaningful ROI


Breakout Session

Exposing Blind Spots in AI-Era Leadership

Confidential interviews with top executives from major companies show a clear gap between what leaders say publicly and what they admit privately about AI’s impact on leadership now and in the future. Few feel leadership is aligned with emerging needs, leading to concern about a growing readiness gap. How can CHROs generate the insight, data and processes to advise and prepare AI-ready leaders across the entire pipeline? 

Join this session to learn how to:

  • Identify critical risks that leadership development must address
  • Generate adaptive mindsets, skills and critical data to accelerate leadership growth
  • Make essential leadership transitions across individuals and teams


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