About the webinar

Work isn't just changing; it's being continuously reinvented. The half-life of workforce data is shrinking. Business priorities shift in weeks, while workforce plans often take months to catch up. At the same time, organizations are investing heavily in AI without always knowing where it will create the greatest value—or who will own and validate it. Yet many organizations are still relying on planning cycles and workforce strategies that simply can't keep up.

In this analyst-led session, Stacey Harris, Chief Research Officer at Sapient Insights Group, and Tim Crawford, CIO Advisor & Strategic Partner at AVOA, explore why workforce readiness has become a continuous organizational capability rather than an annual planning exercise. Drawing on the latest global research and executive experience, they'll discuss how leading organizations are rethinking the relationship between work, people, technology, and AI to build more resilient organizations.

Whether you lead HR, IT, or Operations, you'll leave with practical insights to strengthen cross-functional teams, improve workforce intelligence, and prepare your organization to adapt as quickly as business demands evolve.

Key takeaways:

Learn why workforce readiness has become an enterprise issue. Understand why CIOs, CHROs, and Operations leaders are increasingly sharing responsibility for AI governance, workforce intelligence, and organizational agility.

Improve decisions about people, AI, and work. Discover how workforce intelligence can determine where AI accelerates value, where human expertise matters most, and how to adapt as business priorities change.

Navigate a rapidly evolving risk and compliance landscape. Learn how leading organizations keep innovation moving forward while ensuring both leadership and the workforce understand the risk-reward tradeoffs and shared accountability. 

Build a roadmap for sustainable workforce agility. Leave with actionable ideas to improve data readiness, accelerate organizational agility, and prepare your workforce for the next wave of change.
