As organizations race to integrate AI, many leaders are focused on technology adoption while overlooking the deeper operational realities that determine whether transformation succeeds. The true challenge is not simply deploying new tools, but redesigning how work gets done. In this candid conversation, senior leaders will examine where organizations are misdiagnosing the barriers to AI transformation and unpack the structural, capability, and systems-level shifts required to close the execution gap. Drawing on real-world experience in skills strategy, work redesign, and organizational transformation, panelists will explore how leading organizations are aligning work, capabilities, and systems to unlock greater agility, productivity, and business impact. Attendees will leave with a sharper understanding of what it takes to redesign work for the AI era and the critical role HR must play in leading that transformation.
