For our next webinar, join Alan Cairns, Chief People Officer at OakNorth Bank, for an essential conversation about the biggest opportunity, and responsibility facing People leaders today.
AI is here, but not embedded. We’re seeing individual gains, but not organisational ones at scale just yet. Some CPeOs have already firmly grasped AI within their remit & are shaping the agenda as we speak. But for many this is still in flux and ‘adopting AI’ is a C suite priority without a clear strategy.
For the commercial CPeOs who choose to lead the human side of AI implementation and transformation management, this will be a career-defining opportunity and lies at the heart of driving high performance.
With extensive experience from GoCardless, iTech Media, Moneysupermarket.com, and with multiple advisory roles, Alan will bring his direct, C-suite perspective from scaling companies to share how People leaders can claim their strategic seat in AI adoption.
We’ll cover topics such as:
How to position yourself as the executive owner of AI adoptionRethinking how work gets done: moving beyond automation to genuine transformationManaging the real fears: displacement anxiety, skills obsolescence, and organisational resistanceBuilding AI champions across your organisation while addressing legitimate concernsCollaborating with (not competing against) your CTO, CFO, and COO on AI strategyHow to push back when speed threatens sustainable adoptionWhat's on the horizon for 2026 how to learn from your CPeO peers
And as ever, our CPeO audience will have the chance to submit questions in advance to ensure we answer what’s top of mind for our community.
