AI agents are already embedded in our daily work, performing simple tasks and freeing us from repetitive mundane work. Is this the opportunity for HR to finally live our role as strategic partner to the business? 
 
In this panel discussion, senior HR and business leaders will explore how agentic technologies are changing the nature of work and what this means for workforce strategy, skills planning, and organizational design. We will examine how data and AI can help answer the business’s most critical questions: Which skills are needed to accelerate strategy execution? What are the right build, buy, or borrow decisions to create a reliable yet adaptable workforce?
 
Beyond technology, the panel will discuss the human and organizational shifts required—from redefining roles and upskilling employees to rethinking how work is coordinated when AI agents are treated as part of the team. As these technologies reshape how outcomes are delivered, HR has a unique opportunity to shape culture, performance, and ways of working at scale.
 
The conversation will also address how HR can assess organizational readiness for change, build the traits required for innovation, and claim its seat at the table by presenting a credible, future-focused vision of work. In an agentic age, HR has the potential to move from enabler to driver of enterprise-wide transformation.
