HRSF AI Summit-Future Ready HR
Leading People-centered AI Transformation

AI adoption is moving faster than most organizations can adapt work, roles, skills, and culture to match it. HR leaders are increasingly expected to guide that adaptation, often without a shared, evidence-based framework for how to do it. HRSF AI Summit covers the trends driving where AI takes work next, how work and organizations will need to evolve in response, and what effective org design looks like under those conditions. Sessions address strategy, governance, and ethical decision-making, with the goal of equipping HR leaders to guide AI adoption that is both responsible and effective.

What sets this Summit apart is that participants leave with a framework and tools they can put to use immediately. Both were developed over six months inside the HRSF AI Collaboratory, where CHROs, academics, and AI practitioners worked through them together using case examples from technology, healthcare, and professional services organizations ranging from mid-size firms to global enterprises. No prior involvement in the AI Collaboratory is needed to follow it or put it to use.

The day is also built around peer exchange. Participants are working through the same AI implementation problems in parallel, at different organizations, and the Summit creates space to compare notes on what is and isn’t working. Many of those conversations continue well past the day itself.

Agenda

8:30 – 9am | Breakfast and Networking:

Keynote | Tomorrow, Reimagined—Possible Worlds in the Age of AI

What might life and work look like when AI becomes radically more capable? In this keynote, a futurist will invite participants into a series of bold, plausible futures and challenge today’s assumptions about value, purpose, productivity, and human connection.

Moving beyond prediction, the session will help participants imagine the choices embedded in each future. What work remains distinctly human? Where should AI lead, assist, or not be used at all? How might organizations create more personalized, meaningful, and delightful experiences—while preserving human agency, trust, and accountability?

This opening experience will establish the shared scenarios that anchor the day’s conversations about organizational design, leadership, talent, and readiness.

Panel | Designing the AI-Ready Organization: Operating Models, Roles, and Capabilities

Hear from practitioners and experts navigating how AI is reshaping organizational structures, decision-making, talent needs, and ways of working. The session will surface design choices leaders can consider as they build adaptable, human-centered organizations.

Small group discussion | From Insight to Action: Preparing Your Organization for an AI-Driven Future

In facilitated small groups, participants will translate the morning’s ideas into implications for their own organizations. They will identify priority opportunities, organizational readiness gaps, and one or two concrete actions to advance in the months ahead.

Keynote |  Leading Through the AI Fog 

12:30 Lunch 

CHRO Panel | From AI Readiness to Organizational Action: What We Learned This Year and What’s Next

A candid conversation with CHROs on how they are preparing their organizations for AI: the lessons, experiments, and workforce implications emerging over the past year—and the priorities, investments, and decisions shaping their plans for the year ahead.

Short Talks | Workforce Innovation: Shaping the Future of People Practices 

Leaders from pioneering organizations will share how they are using data, experimentation, and new ways of working to reimagine people practices. Through brief, practical case studies, participants will discover approaches they can adapt within their own organizations.

Small-Group Discussion | From Possibility to Practice: Your 90-Day AI Readiness Commitment

Participants bring together the day’s future scenarios, organizational-design insights, leadership lessons, and workforce innovations to define what matters most for their own organization. The goal is to leave with one clear priority, a practical first step, and a commitment to move it forward.
