How Bank of America and Cornerstone Are Building an AI-Ready Workforce
Your organisation has committed to an AI strategy. But what does that commitment mean for the people who have to work differently because of it?AI adoption is moving into a more demanding phase. The challenge for HR and learning leaders is translating technology investment into new capabilities, different ways of working and measurable business outcomes.In this special episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Mike Wynn, SVP, Academy Executive for AI Capabilities & Enterprise Learning Products at Bank of America, and Himanshu Palsule, CEO of Cornerstone. Together, they explore what it takes to build an AI-ready workforce, combining the practical experience of capability building at scale with a broader perspective on workforce intelligence, skills and work redesign.Join them as they explore:How Bank of America is building AI confidence and capability across every career stage, from self-paced learning to collaborative, experiential workshopsWhy every AI capability the bank teaches is anchored to human skills such as judgement, critical thinking and strategic thinkingWhy organisations need to connect AI strategy with workforce strategy by understanding how work, tasks and skills are changingHow workforce intelligence can help organisations connect signals about people and work with outcomes such as productivity, mobility and workforce transformationWhy learning increasingly needs to happen in the flow of work, as technology makes development more continuous and contextualWhy course completions and attendance are insufficient measures of success, and why leaders should instead look for changes in behaviour, work and business outcomesWhat HR and learning leaders should prioritise when ambitious AI plans have yet to translate into a clear people strategy For CHROs, CLOs and workforce leaders, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for moving beyond AI experimentation and building the workforce capability needed to turn ambition into business value.This episode is sponsored by Cornerstone.Industries, organisations and workforces are all changing at once, and most people leaders are trying to respond with fragmented data and processes that move too slowly to keep up. Cornerstone brings together the insights leaders need, the learning and skills that move people forward, and AI agents that turn intelligence into action, helping organisations build a workforce that’s ready for what’s next.Explore Cornerstone Workforce AI™ and the wider platform here.

How to Build an AI-Enabled HR Operating Model
What if the thing slowing down AI in HR isn't the technology at all, but the way the function is set up to deliver it?Most HR organisations already have access to AI. The bigger challenge is whether the way HR is structured, governed and measured is ready to turn that technology into sustainable business value. In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer, principal analyst and co-founder of Brandon Hall Group, to explore new research identifying six structural moves for building an AI-enabled HR operating model.Join them, as they discuss:Why the operating model can become the constraint on AI transformation, even when the technology is ready What changes when HR manages recruiting, learning, employee experience and workforce planning as continuously evolving products rather than finite programmes Why great people and well-designed processes need to come before technology, and the risks of automating processes that already need redesigning How talent pods, workforce product teams and centres of excellence can combine business proximity with scalable solutions and enterprise standards Why HR business partners need deeper business acumen and a stronger performance consulting mindset Why governance works best when it is embedded into design and delivery, helping create the trust required for innovation Why HR needs to strengthen capabilities in judgement, critical thinking, business acumen and data and analytics as work changes How leaders can measure business, workforce, system and future impact rather than simply tracking implementation activityFor CHROs and HR leaders rethinking how their function operates, this conversation provides a practical framework for creating an HR model that can continuously adapt, scale and deliver measurable value.This episode is sponsored by HiBob.

How Snowflake Is Using People Analytics to Lead AI Transformation
As AI reshapes work, the people function has an opportunity to play a much bigger role in how organisations navigate the transformation. At Snowflake, that starts with trusted data, strong people analytics and a clear view of what technology should automate, where it should augment human capability, and what should remain human. In this episode, David Green is joined by Arnnon Geshuri, Chief People Officer at Snowflake. Drawing on a career that includes senior roles at Google, Tesla and Teladoc Health, Arnnon explains why data has become a common language between HR and the business, and how Snowflake is putting that philosophy into practice. In this conversation, David and Arnnon discuss: Why people analytics gives HR greater credibility and influence with senior business leaders Snowflake’s model for deciding what to automate, what to augment and what should remain human How Snowflake’s talent acquisition team is building its own tools, including an application that reduced hours of work on job descriptions to minutes Why AI is changing jobs, career paths and the skills people will need as work is redesigned Why trusted data is essential to workforce transformation, and how Snowflake puts interactive organisational insights directly into managers’ hands How Snowflake’s talent acquisition team achieved a 20% productivity improvement, and why Arnnon focuses on business outcomes rather than tool usage Why analytics, systems thinking and change management are becoming essential capabilities for current and aspiring Chief People Officers For HR and people analytics leaders, this conversation provides a practical look at how a data-led people function can help shape work, strengthen decision-making and lead organisational transformation.

Lynda Gratton is Professor of Management Practice in Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, where she's taught for more than thirty years and leads the world's number one ranked programme in human resources. Lynda is also the bestselling co-author of the million selling The 100-Year Life. Ahead of the publication of her new book, Living the 100-Year Life: How to build a career that lasts and a life you love, Lynda joins David to explore why longer lives are stretching the traditional education, work and retirement model to breaking point, and what this means for individuals and organisations.

How Allianz Is Building a Workforce Ready for Constant Change
Should workforce transformation belong to HR? Bettina Dietsche, Group Chief People and Culture Officer at Allianz, doesn't think so. Bettina leads the people agenda for around 156,000 employees at Allianz. She came to HR after 25 years in IT and digital transformation, picking up the people function while serving as COO of Allianz Commercial during a company turnaround. That background shapes her view that HR's job is to challenge and push transformation onto the business agenda - not to own it.In this episode, David and Bettina discuss: Why she believes HR should challenge and nudge workforce transformation, while ownership sits with the businessHow 25 years leading IT and digital transformation, including a COO turnaround, shaped her approach to the CPO roleWhy she runs regular sessions with more than 60 CEOs across Allianz, and what that partnership actually looks like in practiceHer test for a healthy culture - what people do when no one's watching - and why she calls culture "the hardest currency"How Allianz builds daily AI habits into leadership, from "AI gem sessions" to asking each morning what AI can help with firstWhy she sees AI creating as many new early-career roles as it displaces, and how Allianz is reshaping graduate hiring around that This episode is sponsored by Valence. Nadia, Valence's AI coaching platform, connects talent strategy to the work employees are actually doing — offering coaching from the frontline to the boardroom, and surfacing organisational insights that weren't visible before.As the most widely deployed coach in the Fortune 500, Nadia is already helping global leaders like Nestlé, Delta, CVS, and Kraft Heinz transform talent at scale.Learn more at valence.co/insight222 Hosted on Acast.

Do you know which of your people are wired to thrive in chaos, and which ones need certainty to do their best work?
