Scaling AI with Confidence: How Lockheed Martin Built the Foundations for HR Transformation

AI transformation is not just about moving fast. It is about creating the conditions that allow innovation to scale with confidence.

At Lockheed Martin, a high bar for trust, security, and accountability gave HR leaders a clear framework for making AI decisions many organizations are still working through. They identified where AI could create the most value, where experimentation made sense, and how to bring an HR function of 1,300 people on the journey, all while replacing a core HR system that had been in place for 27 years.

Join UNLEASH, Josh Bersin and Bill Pelster from The Josh Bersin Company, and Lockheed Martin’s Rhom Erskine and John Heyliger to learn how the aerospace and defense giant aligned HR, IT, executive leadership, and governance across a workforce of 122,000 employees to move from isolated AI experiments to a coordinated enterprise strategy with AI agents embedded into the transformation journey.

What leaders will learn

This webinar explores how HR leaders can turn AI ambition into practical enterprise momentum:

• How to build shared ownership for AI adoption in HR
• How to identify AI agent use cases and scale them across the enterprise
• How to create trusted environments for AI experimentation
• How HR, IT, leadership, and governance can work together to scale responsibly
• How to modernize core HR while preparing for the next wave of AI

This is not another AI playbook. It is an inside look at how one of the world's largest aerospace and defense organizations is building the trust, alignment, and operating discipline needed to move AI from ambition to impact, including the rollout of several hundred AI agents.
