The Big Transformation Picture and the Impact of Agents
The HR profession is facing its most significant shift in a generation.

The era of pushing courses and hoping something sticks is over. Understand how AI is transforming L&D into a real-time, hyper personalized capability engine - embedded directly in the flow of work.

13:15 - 13:55 - Humanizing Leadership to Grow Through Change

Transformation rarely fails because leaders lack a clear vision or a sound strategy. It fails because their organizations struggle to bring the vision to life and put the strategy to work. While they might understand the rationale for transformation, people cannot muster the focused energy to challenge and change habits, norms, and familiar ways of working. Trust erodes, connections loosen, performance falters, and the transformation effort stalls.

The reason that happens so often, INSEAD professor Gianpiero Petriglieri believes, is that traditional, somewhat mechanical models of leadership get in the way of understanding and working with the human layers of transformations. We must humanize leadership - how we understand, portray, and practice it - if we aspire to get what human work is, and do it well. The leaders who bring transformation to life are those who come alive first.

In this interactive session, Gianpiero will share a blueprint for humanizing leadership to foster the development of people, communities, organizations, and cultures as a whole. Together, you'll explore:

• Common reactions to the imperative to transform
• The difference between mechanistic and humanistic views of leadership
• Why humanizing leadership is the key that unlocks lasting transformation
• How we can develop and sustain that kind of leadership in our daily work

You'll leave with a clearer sense of what it means to build work relations, teams, and organizations that don't just cope well with change but truly grow through it.

Speaker: Gianpiero Petriglieri, Expert on Leadership & Learning in the Workplace and Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, INSEAD

13:55 - 14:40 - The Human Signals Shaping the Next Era of Work

AI has flattened the workforce landscape even faster than expected. Tools, skills, and AI capabilities are converging, and yet execution gaps are widening. In this keynote, Workhuman Founder and CEO, Eric Mosley, argues that most organizations are rich in data but poor in signal, especially when it comes to understanding how work gets done, where leadership is emerging, and whether people are truly aligned around strategy. In a world where technical capabilities are increasingly interchangeable, competitive differentiation has shifted to human contribution: collaboration, judgment, influence, and leadership in motion.

Speaker: Eric Mosley, Founder, CEO & Board Member, Workhuman

14:40 - 16:00 - Coffee & Networking Break

16:00 - 16:40 - Panel Discussion

16:40 - 17:25 - Where Transformation Breaks or Builds: A Conversation with Dr. Susan David

As organizations navigate constant technological and market change, the real challenge is not transformation itself but building the human capacity to sustain it. In this session, Harvard Medical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Susan David sits down to discuss why Emotional Agility is becoming one of the most important leadership capabilities of our time and how developing more agile people creates more adaptable, resilient organizations.

Moderator: Holly Ramson, Leadership Expert, Bestselling Author, and CEO, Emergent Global

Speaker: Dr. Susan David, Leading Management Thinker, Bestselling Author & Award-Winning Psychologist, Harvard Medical School

17:30 - 19:00 - Book Signing & Networking

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly, but many organizations are still trying to answer the same questions. Where should we focus? What should we prioritize? How do we move from experimentation to scale? And what does successful AI transformation actually require in the mid to long term?

The UNLEASH AI Summit is an immersive, workshop-led experience designed for leadership teams responsible for AI strategy, workforce transformation and business outcomes. Bringing together leaders across HR, technology, data and digital transformation, the summit creates space to learn, work and make decisions together.

Combining practical frameworks, peer discussion and hands-on sessions, attendees will refine their own roadmap for AI transformation, building capability and deploying AI at scale.

Because AI transformation is not a technology project. It is a leadership challenge.

The question isn't whether AI will outpace human capability. It's whether you'll build an AI-ready workforce before it does. We are living through a change in eras, not a change in tools. The organizations that come out ahead will be the ones honest enough to ask what they need to stop doing as much as what they need to start. In this opening keynote, Brian Glaser explores what the AI era means for workforce investment, career development, organizational design and leadership.

Most AI transformation efforts are building literacy when they should be building judgment. There is a difference and closing that gap is now one of the most urgent priorities facing HR and business leaders.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Why VUCA was just the warm-up act and what the BANI era demands of organizations now
• The collapse of traditional career pathways and what replaces them
• Why continuous upskilling is becoming a business necessity rather than an L&D initiative
• Which workforce assumptions need to be challenged before AI challenges them for you
• Why the hardest decision in a period of reinvention is not what to build next but what to let go
• Key lessons from Google's work and future
