Mission Possible: The CHRO’s Role in Solving the CEO’s Top Problems

Boardroom

AI disruption. Financial pressures. Competition. Workforce imbalance. Geopolitical shocks.

CEOs are under more pressure than ever to adapt fast and act decisively, and they crucially need CHROs who bring clarity, speed, and a strategic edge. This is a defining moment for CHROs.

In an environment with no clear playbook, five critical actions can help CHROs guide their CEOs through the storm: Whether decoding volatile international dynamics, driving business transformation through AI, managing a globally fragmented workforce, or reimagining workforce planning amid accelerating automation, data, and digital workers, CHROs are now central to adaptability and innovation. This session will discuss how HR leaders can transform volatility into strategic advantage and reshape the business for what lies ahead. Join us as we discuss how to:

Position CHROs as the indispensable partners CEOs actively seek
Develop a strategic blueprint to address CEO challenges and create enterprise value
Scale HR tech and data to empower a strategic HR team
Drive company-wide AI transformation and adoption directly linked to top-line priorities
Master the leadership capabilities required to future-proof the business
