November 2024 Summit Keynotes

Preparing the Workforce for AI Acceleration

The AI revolution is well underway, but i4cp research has shown that most companies are still early in their adoption and integration of this powerful tool. While most employees are using it — the Microsoft Work Trend Index reports that 75% of global knowledge workers are already using AI at work — most companies haven’t provided the necessary training and guidance. How do organizations, and HR in particular, ensure their workforce is ready to use generative AI in the ways needed to build and maintain competitive advantage?

i4cp CEO and industry thought leader Kevin Oakes will provide an exclusive first look at new research and showcase the importance of having a change-ready culture, and the steps needed to get there; real-life examples of how companies are deploying AI to their workforce and key recommendations for HR leaders to ensure AI workforce readiness.

Reducing Bias Using Artificial Intelligence

DEIB expert Torin Ellis will examine the complex role of AI in both advancing and potentially hindering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives. He will discuss the challenges of reducing bias in AI systems, emphasizing the importance of a democratized review process that incorporates diverse perspectives. By exploring AI’s role in supporting new recruiting relationships, reducing cognitive biases, and capturing diverse dimensions beyond gender and race, Ellis will offer actionable insights on how organizations can leverage AI to foster inclusivity while remaining vigilant about the risks.

As AI continues to reshape the workplace, ensuring transparency, fairness, and ongoing human oversight is crucial in making sure these technologies contribute positively to the future of work.

How to Get Your Peers Onboard for Change

We all know sustained change requires a supporting village. In this session, Sapient founder Susan Richards will discuss strategies HR leaders can use to get executive colleagues on board with any change-related initiative – big or small.

Susan will cover how tactics such as coaching, behavior modeling, negotiation, and even relationship assessments can be used in non-threatening ways to get the peer buy-in needed to make change happen. Knowing that best practices don’t always apply in the actual work world, Susan will also discuss ways to lead change in less-than-optimal situations. Susan’s real-life examples will keep the discussion lively and practical.

AI-Powered Leadership: Revolutionizing the Future of HR and Work

Tim Sackett will explore how AI is not just a tool but a transformative force reshaping the HR landscape and redefining leadership for the future. As organizations face unprecedented changes in the workforce, the role of AI in HR becomes pivotal — driving efficiency, enhancing decision-making, and enabling leaders to focus on what truly matters: people.

We’ll explore how AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing TA, employee engagement, and performance management, creating more agile and responsive HR functions. We'll also explore the emerging trends and technologies setting new standards in leadership and helping organizations stay ahead in an increasingly competitive environment. The challenges and ethical considerations of integrating AI in HR will also be addressed along with strategies to ensure AI is used responsibly and inclusively.
