The rising impact of cutting-edge technologies and increased hype around AI have added additional layers of complexity to the unique challenges faced by HR leaders. Economic conditions and disruptions have urged CHROs to embrace innovation and offer agility and flexibility to drive productivity and digital outcomes. However, a recent Gartner study reveals that 60% of HR leaders are uncertain about the impact of evolving technology trends, such as generative AI, on HR and talent.


In the swiftly transforming landscape, the ongoing revolution in emerging technologies is poised to significantly reshape how organisations recruit, nurture, and extract value from their workforce. What initiatives will you undertake to craft a future-ready HR technology adoption roadmap and stay ahead of the widespread integration of AI that fulfills future business needs?


Join your peers to discuss practical solutions for adopting trending technologies, managing AI applications, and planning for the talent transformations to come.

 

Topic 1: Navigating Ongoing Expectations of Technology Implementation

  • How can HR leaders play a strategic role in assessing the potential impact of emerging technologies on HR process and practices?
  • How do you assess the readiness of your workforce to embrace emerging technologies, including AI?
  • Within the HR function, where do you intend to invest on HR technology in the next 12 months?

Topic 2: Assessing the Risks While Seizing the Opportunities

  • What could be the potential impact AI solutions and use cases have on work, talent, skills, roles and responsibilities? What can HR leaders do to prepare themselves and their workforce for the potential changes?
  • What’s your view on emerging technologies concerning risks and ethics? Are you open to tolerate any risks associated with it?
  • How do you effectively communicate the benefits and risks to key stakeholders?

6:45pm - 7:15pm  Networking Break
