Ctrl+Alt+Rehire: What Every CPO Needs to Know About AI - a Cultivating Leadership breakfast conversation

​"AI" hides a dozen different problems inside one word — headcount, org design, what's actually plannable versus what you just have to watch. Holding all of that as one problem is what leaves CPOs and people leaders overwhelmed instead of decisive.

​This breakfast gives you two things most sessions don't: a working process, and a guest who rarely shows up in this kind of room.

​Melissa Clark-Reynolds has spent twenty-five years as a working futurist — she had clients planning for Covid in December 2019, months before anyone else took it seriously. Tony Quinlan has spent twenty years helping leaders sort the plannable from the merely watchable, from UN teams in conflict zones to corporate boards. This is the first time their thinking has shown up together in public.

​Here's how the morning works: first, we sort your AI-and-workforce situation into what's actually plannable and what isn't. Then Melissa takes a real role or function from your world and works it through in a small group — not a talk, a process — until it's specific enough to use.

​Both threads meet at the close. You test your own scenario against the morning's opening question: was this ever as unmanageable as it felt, or was "AI" just hiding what it actually was. You leave with an answer specific to your team, not a general view of the field.

​Seats are limited and going fast — if you're a CPO or people leader wrestling with what AI means for your workforce, or you know someone who is, register now.
