Seminars
Work in small, facilitated peer groups to tackle real problems, compare what’s working in practice, and leave with clear, implementable solutions you can apply immediately.
- How should HR evolve from managing people to managing systems of work – including decisions about when to deploy AI agents versus human roles?
- What new governance and accountability models are needed when work is distributed across humans, AI, and external partners?
- What metrics and data are required for HR to actively orchestrate performance, cost, and capability across a blended workforce?
- Discover how Merck is shifting from pilots and fragmented AI initiatives to a focused, value‑chain‑led strategy where AI and agents are deliberately designed to reshape how work gets done and that concentrates AI investment where it can truly move the business
- Learn how Merck KGaA is redesigning work through agentic AI – building everyday AI fluency at scale while focusing largest agentic investments for the areas that create competitive advantage
- Explore how Merck KGaA is empowering leaders and managers to identify, deploy, and measure AI‑driven change across core processes, turning AI from a technology topic into a business capability
Dig deeper into what it truly takes to move from isolated AI success stories to consistent, enterprise wide execution. Use this session to unpack the practical enablers of scale – from governance and prioritisation to leader ownership and measurement – and explore how to embed AI as a core business capability rather than a series of disconnected initiatives.
