Move from AI access to work redesign

Objectives

Using people data to drive strategy
and enable better decisions

A two-day conference for leaders and senior practitioners,
showcasing applied workforce intelligence in the real world:

  • Separate access from value

    Explore how leaders move beyond pilots, adoption rates and theoretical time saved. The focus is how workforce evidence helps teams decide which AI and analytics use cases to fund, scale, redesign or stop, and how to connect those choices to productivity, capacity, quality, cost, risk or growth.

Program Structure

Two curated tracks and one peer-to-peer decision forum

Practitioner-led tracks for the open programme, plus a curated Decision Room format for harder cross-functional questions.

01Track

Plenary

02Track

Work Design

From access to business value

For leaders moving from AI tools and pilots to redesigned work, measured value and governed people decisions. This track examines workflow change, productivity, bankable capacity, workforce AI controls, manager enablement, people-data foundations and the evidence Finance will accept.

03Track

Workforce Planning & Skills

Plan capacity and make better decisions about skills, hiring and deployment.

For leaders deciding what workforce the business needs next. This track explores strategic workforce planning, skills intelligence, internal mobility, entry-level pathways, pay transparency, talent geography and capacity decisions in a cautious, AI-disrupted East Coast market.

04Track

Tech Stage

Showcasing under-the-radar technology that is already changing how work gets done.

Find new ways to understand skills, talent, and the hybrid workforce, how to deploy AI-enabled workforce planning, and generate decision-grade insight that puts workforce intelligence directly into boardroom conversations.

Conversations

The conversations shaping this conference

AI value, productivity and work redesign

Move beyond AI access, pilots and adoption statistics. This topic examines how people data, AI and workforce intelligence help leaders redesign tasks, roles, workflows and decision rights, then prove what changed in productivity, quality, capacity, cost, risk or client value.

Workforce planning and workforce economics

Use workforce intelligence to make better choices about capacity, cost, skills, location and timing. Sessions will explore how HR, People Analytics, Finance and business leaders plan under AI uncertainty, cautious hiring, changing demand and pressure to prove workforce value.

Skills intelligence, mobility and career pathways

Turn skills data into decisions about hiring, learning, mobility, redeployment and succession. This topic focuses on what makes skills intelligence decision-grade, how job architecture needs to adapt, and how organizations can protect capability pipelines as AI reshapes entry-level work.

Regulated workforce AI and governance

Explore how employers govern AI and automated decision tools in hiring, promotion, learning, mobility, performance and work allocation. The focus is practical: bias audits, vendor oversight, human review, documentation, employee communication and ownership across HR, Legal, Risk, Privacy and Technology.

East Coast sectors and talent geography

New York's workforce questions are shaped by financial services, professional services, media, regulated enterprise, AI talent and New Jersey life sciences. Sessions will examine how sector context changes workforce planning, skills strategy, office decisions, talent location and risk.

People data to business outcomes

Connect workforce intelligence to the outcomes leaders care about: productivity, client service, operating performance, risk, cost, quality and growth. This topic looks beyond HR metrics to show how people data can influence business decisions, customer outcomes and enterprise performance.
