Seminars
- Discover how GlaxoSmithKline decommissioned fragmented learning tech and rebuilt a unified, AI-powered skills stack that infers skills from job architecture and employee experience across 72,000 employees
- Connecting a live skills taxonomy, personalised learning, AI coaching, and skills insights to give leaders and HR real-time visibility of future skill gaps and organisational capability
- Equipping HR business partners to plan for a blended workforce – redesigning roles, job architecture, and operating models where humans and AI agents deliver value together
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.
