​In an AI-enabled world, organisations are investing heavily in Human Skills but many People teams still struggle to clearly demonstrate their impact on performance and business outcomes. As scrutiny on ROI increases, the ability to measure, evidence and articulate value has never mattered more.

​In this session, we will explore:

​📊 Measuring What Matters: How can organisations meaningfully measure skills and performance in an AI era?

​🧠 Human Skills as a Performance Lever: Why Human Skills are increasingly central to productivity, engagement and execution

​🚧 What Gets in the Way: Common barriers preventing People teams from demonstrating real business impact

​📈 Creating Impact: Practical ways to build a compelling, data-led narrative that earns influence at the top table

​This session is designed for C-suite leaders, People teams, L&D professionals and managers who want to move beyond activity metrics and clearly demonstrate the performance value of their talent initiatives.
