The Evolving CPO Agenda in an AI World

A breakfast discussion for Chief People Officers and senior People leaders in tech & technology-enabled organisations navigating AI-driven change.

As AI becomes embedded into everyday business activity, organisations are being forced to rethink how work is structured, where capability sits, and what leadership now needs to deliver.

For Chief People Officers and senior People leaders, this is a strategic moment. The challenge is no longer just to respond to change, but to help shape it: redesigning roles, building confidence and capability, managing risk, and ensuring the human edge is not lost as AI adoption accelerates.

This breakfast brings together a select group of senior People leaders for a focused, peer-led discussion on what the shift to a Human–AI workforce means in practice, and how the CPO agenda is evolving in response.

We will begin with a short opening perspective from Jo Geraghty and Andy Beale, before moving quickly into facilitated roundtable discussion and shared conversation.
