Leading through AI disruption
Bridging Tech and People leadership to bring all voices to the table
About this event:
SYPartners’ latest research shows that business leaders are increasingly concerned about the human and cultural dimensions of GenAI adoption. To move beyond pilots and into transformation at scale, a strong alliance must be forged between Tech and People teams.
Yet, our data also shows that People leaders are often missing from the conversation, just when their leadership is most critical to shaping how AI integrates into the fabric of work and culture.
In this virtual invite-only event, we’ll hear from pioneering practitioners, unpack insights from our research, and exchange actionable practices that help organizations unlock AI’s full potential–responsibly and at scale.
