Future-Proofing Manager Capability for 2026
This session supports HR leaders to future-proof their organisations for 2026 by strengthening manager capability where it matters most.
We’ll focus on building clarity, confidence, and practical skills for leading in an AI-accelerated environment, identifying the capability gaps emerging next, and partnering with leaders to help teams perform through ongoing change.
Through facilitated discussion, we’ll surface the themes and questions HR leaders are grappling with right now, including:
How to help leaders adopt AI responsibly, without creating fear or confusion
How HR can guide better hiring decisions as roles and capabilities evolve
Which leadership and team skills matter most for 2026, and where gaps are already emerging
We’ll then shift into a hands-on segment, introducing simple frameworks HR can use to enable and uplift leaders.
We’ll finish with time for informal conversation, reflection, and connection with peers, plus space to share insights and next steps for strengthening manager capability into 2026.
