AI ambition is everywhere. Execution is not.

An overwhelming 88% of organizations plan to increase AI investment in the next 12 months, with more than half expecting to spend significantly more. However, beneath the surface, a stark reality is emerging: most organizations are still struggling to turn their AI ambitions into meaningful, enterprise-wide impact. 

Drawing on the latest data from our AI Impact Report, we’ll explore the latest trends reshaping HR this year and share actionable insights to help you drive organizational change with confidence.

What will we cover?

The spread of agentic AI
Why agentic AI is gaining momentum in HR, the conditions organizations must prioritize to maximize impact, and practical guidance for getting started.

From AI productivity to enterprise value
How to move beyond isolated pilots with context-aware, HR-specific and workflow-embedded AI, supported by the right training, operating model and cultural change.

The CRM revival
Why a best-in-class CRM is becoming critical to talent supply chain independence in 2026, and how leading organizations are rethinking their approach.

Plus other trends shaping HR in 2026
Bring your questions and get practical guidance on what to prioritize now to be ready for what’s next.
