"Today's AI is the worst AI you will ever use" (Ethan Mollick) AI is changing how work gets done. This session will focus on what that means for people leaders. It includes systems thinking, "shifting quality left", and supporting teams as they move at different speeds through change. Psychological safety matters more than ever and teams need space to test, learn, and improve. David will also connect this to workforce planning and org design. In the age of AI, workforce planning needs to look beyond headcount. It needs to consider work design, capability building, role evolution, and where human judgment creates the most value. This session will share a practical view of how HR can help organizations reengineer work, strengthen teams, and improve outcomes in the age of AI. Key takeaways: - Understand how AI is changing work beyond automation, including quality, pace, team dynamics, and where human judgement still creates the greatest value. - Explore how People leaders can support teams moving through AI adoption at different speeds, while building psychological safety for testing, learning, and improvement. - Learn how to rethink workforce planning through work design, capability building, role evolution, and organisational outcomes rather than headcount alone.
