Retain or Refrain: Where to Keep Things Human as AI Takes Root (ODNY & Retensa)

​Is AI Helping, or Setting Us Up for Failure? 
 
Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations work, learn, and engage people. For OD practitioners, this shift creates both real possibilities and complex human-centered risks. 

​Join the Organization Development Network of New York (ODNY) and Retensa Retention Strategies for Firm Focus, an interactive World Café-style gathering. Participants will examine how AI shapes organizational life today, from its potential to strengthen retention and engagement to the risks it introduces around trust, bias, and the employee-employer relationship. 

​Attendees will gain: 

• ​Specific approaches for navigating AI-driven organizational challenges 

• ​A structured space to exchange tools, perspectives, and direct professional experience 

• ​A clearer understanding of where AI supports people-centered work and where human judgment must lead 

​This session gives a structured opportunity to examine where AI creates risk for people-centered work and where it can strengthen it.
