Who Got You Here, Won’t Get You There: Board Oversight of Leadership Readiness in the Age of AI and Generational Shift

The Future of Talent Acquisition: Embracing Gen AI and the New Workforce Paradigm

The landscape of Talent Acquisition is poised for a significant upheaval as generative AI (Gen AI) rapidly advances, threatening to retplace those who resist its adoption. This session delves into the urgent need for leadership teams and Boards to address the transformative impact of Gen AI on the workforce.

As Millennials and Gen Z prepare to inherit unprecedented wealth, their influence on the workplace will intensify, reshaping corporate norms and expectations. Additionally, the rise of employee activism, with workers increasingly becoming shareholder activists, signals a shift in power dynamics that traditional business rules and governance structures are not equipped to handle.

With the pace of technological change outstripping the ability of businesses to adapt, C-Suite leaders face a critical challenge: reskill their workforce to meet the demands of a Gen AI-driven future, or make difficult decisions about who can and cannot keep up. This article explores the strategic conversations that must take place in boardrooms across the globe, offering insights into how organizations can stay ahead in this new era of work.

By understanding and embracing these shifts, leaders can position their companies to not only survive but excel in the rapidly changing world of Talent Acquisition.

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, Talent Acquisition is on the cusp of a profound transformation driven by generative AI (Gen AI). As AI technologies advance, they will increasingly replace roles that fail to integrate these innovations, making it essential for leadership teams and Boards to proactively address this shift. This talk will explore the critical discussions that must take place at the highest levels of leadership to ensure organizations not only survive but thrive in this new era.

Key topics include the accelerated impact of Gen AI on workforces, with a particular focus on how Millennials and Gen Z—set to inherit significant wealth—are poised to reshape the future of work and corporate governance. The rise of employee activists evolving into shareholder activists will further disrupt traditional business norms, creating an urgent need for companies to adapt.

With business rules and norms lagging behind technological advancements, C-Suite leaders must bridge the growing disconnect between boardroom decisions and frontline realities. This session will challenge leaders to consider whether they should focus on reskilling their workforce or making tough decisions about letting go of those who cannot adapt.

Join us to explore the strategic imperatives for navigating these complexities, and gain insights into how forward-thinking leadership can position your organization at the forefront of this transformation.
