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

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

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

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

Gartner insights indicate that one-third of HR leaders say mid- to senior-level leaders struggle to achieve employee change adoption more than two years ago. Personalized support and ongoing communication across the enterprise foster engagement, trust, and successful outcomes, even during significant transformations.

Join this session to discuss:

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

As CEOs reshape their organizations so that the blend of human and AI capability makes performance inevitable, CHROs are left with a paradox: building a workforce to deliver strategy when the work itself is undefined. Every major technology breakthrough, from electricity to the internet, required organizations to reorganize their people and processes around the technology before they saw a productivity benefit. Adaptive structures can enable speed and ownership, but only if organizations can supplement them with strong governance, clear communication and connections across the enterprise.

Join this session to learn how CHROs and their teams:

• Drive faster, clearer work decisions
• Anticipate future roles and skills
• Ready an unsettled workforce to perform in any context
