AI is reshaping L&D faster than most teams can adapt. This session brought together HR leaders from I Hate It Here, SurveyMonkey, and Boon to discuss why AI-first strategies fail without culture, how L&D is evolving into reskilling engines, and what the future holds for coaching and career development.
AI isn't the strategy, mindset is
Adoption means nothing without cultural readiness.
L&D must evolve into Reskilling & Development
Replace rigid programs with agile, skills-first learning.
The manager role is being unbundled
Most can't coach 10+ directs, expect tech and third parties to fill the gap.
Career paths are going nonlinear
Skills > titles. Growth will be dynamic and AI-augmented.
Culture beats tooling
Power hours and Slack threads outperformed formal training in driving adoption.
In this session, we explored:
Leadership development is changing fast. We're helping teams rethink how they build adaptability, skills, and culture at scale.
As organizations face accelerated change, ongoing uncertainty, and the growing influence of AI, the demands on people leaders have never been higher. This session unpacked the reality of leadership overload and its ripple effects.
