As AI transforms the size, structure and composition of the workforce, organizations face profound questions: How is work changing? Which skills are gaining value, and which are quietly disappearing? How do we continue building capability when entry-level roles are being automated?
This intimate, senior-level session will focus on where skills-first ambitions meet a workforce being redefined in real time. Through candid conversation and practical insights - not theory or generic best practices - participants will examine the realities of implementing skills-first approaches, adapting hiring strategies, and ensuring workforce agility in an AI-driven world.
Discussion Focus:
The roundtable will explore how AI is influencing workforce decisions today - from hiring and redeployment to the future of early careers.
Attendees will discuss the below:
1. How is AI changing the shape of your workforce today, not just who you hire but how much work you need and where it sits?
2. Which skills are increasing in value as AI adoption grows, and which are quietly disappearing?
3. What is happening to your early careers pipeline as entry level work becomes more automated, and how are you replacing that pathway for building skills?
4. Are your hiring decisions still anchored to legacy roles and structures, even as the underlying work changes?
