We are the last generation to manage only humans
A one-day executive program
for CHROs and senior HR leaders.
About the Program
AI is changing HR’s own work and expanding its role across the organization. This one-day program gives CHROs and senior HR leaders practical frameworks for managing that shift as AI becomes part of everyday work. It focuses on where AI is creating the greatest impact in HR and how HR can help the organization adapt.
The Five Themes
The Big Shift: Navigating Exponential Change
Focus: The world and the future of work
The next decade will bring extraordinary change to the way organizations operate and people work. Leaders examine the world around them and the organization itself. They then consider what the shift means for individuals and the future of work.
The Human-Agent Orchestrator
Focus: Human-AI management
Management frameworks for leaders building new management systems around AI. Participants examine how people oversee AI systems and agents while remaining responsible for the work and its outcomes. For HR, the question is how roles and decision rights need to change.
How AI Is Reshaping HR
Focus: HR workflows and operating model
Examine where AI is creating the greatest impact across HR work and how those changes are reshaping the operating model. Participants identify where AI can be used in their own HR work.
HR’s Role in AI Transformation
Focus: Leading organizational change
Examine how HR can support AI transformation across the organization by helping leaders redesign work and prepare people for changing responsibilities.
Becoming the AI Transformation Leader
Focus: The leader’s own work and leading others
This theme brings the day together by examining how HR leaders use and manage AI in their own work, and what management system is needed around it. It then turns to the leadership people need as their work and responsibilities change.
Why This Program
Many organizations have an AI strategy and are beginning to build or deploy AI agents. Far fewer have a management strategy for the people who will be responsible for managing and overseeing those systems.
Built for HR leaders
The program connects the management of AI with the changing role of HR across the organization.
Practical HR work
Participants work on real HR workflows and identify where AI can create the greatest impact in their own work.
Leading through change
The program connects exponential change with established principles of change management and leadership. It focuses on what leaders need to do as work changes.
Peer learning
Participants work alongside HR leaders from other organizations, with a peer partner throughout the day.
One Full Day
Each theme starts with a short presentation. Discussion and an applied exercise follow.

AI is changing HR’s own work while creating new expectations for HR across the organization. This program helps senior HR leaders understand both shifts and turn them into practical leadership decisions.

Which AI tools will we use?
The program is tool-agnostic. The frameworks and methods can be applied across the AI tools your organization uses today and the tools it may adopt later.
In which language is the program delivered?
The program is delivered in English.
Can our HR leadership team attend together?
Yes. HR leadership teams are welcome to attend together. Contact the program team for group rates.
What does the program fee include?
The fee includes all program sessions and materials, including the leadership workbook. Light breakfast and lunch are included, along with refreshments throughout the day. Travel and accommodation are not included.
What happens after the program?
You leave with a Leadership Action Agenda to continue inside your organization. Optional follow-up AI Office sessions are available for participants who want to continue the work after the program.
