This programme gives Chief Human Resources Officers and senior People leaders a strategic and practical grounding in how AI is reshaping the HR function. Participants will learn to build dynamic skills inventories, redesign learning and development curricula for an AI-augmented workforce, and apply ethical frameworks to AI-assisted hiring. The format combines executive workshops, peer discussion, and hands-on tool exploration, culminating in a personalised AI-for-People roadmap. By the end, participants can lead AI-driven HR transformation with confidence and accountability.
What you'll be able to do
- Build and present a dynamic skills inventory framework linked to strategic workforce planning scenarios
- Identify and mitigate algorithmic bias risks in at least three stages of an AI-assisted hiring pipeline
- Design a phased L&D redesign plan that integrates AI tools and addresses reskilling for displaced roles
- Develop a change management communication plan for rolling out an AI HR initiative across a business unit
- Evaluate and shortlist AI HR vendors using a structured criteria scorecard covering ethics, data privacy, and ROI
Topics covered
- AI-powered skills inventory and talent mapping
- Workforce planning and scenario modelling with AI tools
- Redesigning L&D programmes for an AI-augmented workforce
- Ethics, bias, and compliance in AI-assisted hiring
- Change management and communication strategies for AI adoption
- HR data governance, privacy, and GDPR considerations
- AI vendor evaluation and build-vs-buy decisions for HR tech
- Measuring ROI and impact of AI initiatives in People functions
Delivery
Typically delivered as a blended programme over 4-6 weeks: two full-day in-person or virtual executive workshops bookending three to four online peer-learning sessions. Materials include case study packs, an AI HR tools sandbox, a skills inventory template, and a vendor evaluation scorecard. Hands-on activities represent approximately 50% of total learning time. Cohort-based delivery is strongly recommended to enable cross-organisation peer benchmarking.
What makes it work
- Securing CEO and board-level sponsorship before announcing any AI-driven HR transformation
- Involving employees and works councils early in the design of AI-assisted processes to build trust
- Establishing a cross-functional AI ethics committee that includes HR, Legal, and Data functions
- Piloting AI tools in one business unit with clear success metrics before scaling organisation-wide
Common mistakes
- Deploying AI hiring tools without an explicit bias audit process, creating legal and reputational exposure
- Treating AI adoption as an IT project rather than a people-change programme, leading to low adoption
- Focusing exclusively on efficiency gains while neglecting the reskilling investment needed for displaced employees
- Purchasing HR AI platforms without aligning data governance policies to GDPR and local labour law requirements
When NOT to take this
This programme is not appropriate for frontline HR generalists or recruiters who need hands-on tool training; they require a more tactical, tool-specific workshop rather than a strategic leadership programme.
