ABOUT THE PROGRAM: 

As AI reshapes work at a rapid pace, most conversations focus on tools, automation, and disruption. Far fewer focus on people.

This session explores what it really means for organizations to be “AI‑ready” from a human perspective. Rather than centering solely on technology, it examines how HR and business leaders can build trust, readiness, and resilience in their workforce.

Participants will consider:

• How AI is changing expectations of work, leadership, and culture
• What it takes for employees to feel informed, equipped, and empowered — not sidelined
• How HR can guide responsible adoption that aligns with organizational values

Ultimately, transformation doesn’t happen when new tech rolls out. It happens when people buy in, trust the process, and feel prepared to thrive. This conversation invites HR leaders to think about AI readiness not just as a technical milestone, but as a people, culture, and leadership journey.
