Guillaume DelacourABBHead of Corporate People DevelopmentGrettel SiegertABBSenior Leadership Learning Architect
Description
AI is being woven into the very fabric of everyday work at ABB - boosting productivity, enabling people to explore how to think and do things differently and supporting career growth.

Led by Global Head of People Development Guillaume Delacour, this initiative is not only unlocking new productivity gains but also giving employees fresh opportunities for skills development and self-driven learning. From engineering teams to HR, ABB is redefining how AI supports personal growth and organizational performance, demonstrating that the future of work is not just AI-powered, but human-shaped. Key Takeaways: • Shifted focus from tool use to mindset and skills development • Created global AI communities to foster shared learning and experimentation • Launched targeted campaigns to build confidence and curiosity around GenAI • Integrated AI into personal development plans and team workflows • Empowered employees across all functions to explore, co-create, and scale AI use cases

Dr Heba MakramFuture of Work ExpertTransformation AdvisorPatrick HullHeinekenGlobal Head of Talent, Culture and LeadershipEl Iza MohamedouOECD - OCDEHead - Centre for SkillsMenno OlgersSurply and 9+ teamsFounder
Description
HR is being asked to deliver more with less ie boost productivity, reduce complexity, and embrace AI across every touchpoint. But with these demands come profound human challenges. Some are totally unique to the new age of AI we are now living in. New data reveals that more than half of employees trust AI more than HR, citing greater fairness and transparency in its decisions. As automation takes hold, how can HR regain trust and deliver a more human-centric workplace? This panel dives into the real barriers to responsible AI adoption not just the technical ones, but people ones. We'll unpack how HR teams can navigate fear of displacement, AI literacy gaps, ethical risks and cultural resistance while still transforming roles, workflows and employee experience platforms to meet new expectations. Leaders from across the HR ecosystem will explore what it means to redesign for empowerment, not just efficiency. From talent and learning to engagement and workforce design, we'll break down what AI means for each function—and how to protect the humanity that keeps work meaningful. Benefits of Attending: • Rebuilding trust in HR by understanding why employees believe AI makes fairer decisions • Using AI to drive human value rather than reduce headcount • Empowering your emerging type of worker by integrating AI into skills, decision-making and performance • Redesigning work for a fluid, skill-based future instead of static job roles • Taking responsibility for algorithmic fairness, transparency and ethical guardrails • Creating confidence and safety around AI across generations and job levels • Shaping employee experiences through human-centred design of AI systems • Positioning HR as a driver of culture, adaptability and organisational reinvention • Ensuring AI is used as a labour asset without compromising human dignity

Work in Transition: Opportunities and Challenges in the Era of Digitalization, Demographic Change and Environmental Transformation

Katarina RoderÖBB Infrastructure Head of People Development & Culture
Description
In an era of rapid technological and environmental shifts, we are facing fundamental changes in the labor market. Our pitch could address these key questions: • Demographic Change: With a predicted increase in the population over 65 and a decline in the number of working-age individuals, we are confronted with the challenge of optimally utilizing our available workforce. What strategies can companies and policymakers adopt to actively manage this demographic transition? • Digitalization and Automation:Artificial intelligence, automation, and technological advancements are radically transforming existing job roles. While new job profiles are emerging, many traditional roles are disappearing. How can we manage this transition and foster the necessary skills and competencies for the future? • New Work Models and Green Jobs: In the face of an acute shortage of skilled workers: especially in areas such as IT, finance, technology, and sales: we must tap into underutilized resources, including part-time workers, women, and older employees. Additionally, the challenges posed by the climate crisis present opportunities for green jobs that are not only environmentally sustainable but also economically promising.
