The conversation around AI in HR has reached a tipping point. While many organisations feel they are still exploring their options, the shift toward “people plus technology” operating models is already underway.

In this interactive session, Sebastian Hust, Senior Director Talent Experience Strategy at Phenom, and Lothar Harings, Former CHRO at Kuehne+Nagel, will share global insights on how HR leaders are navigating this transition. Together with peers, you’ll explore what meaningful AI transformation looks like in practice, assess your organisation’s readiness, and discuss practical steps to move from experimentation to impact.

The session will also feature real-world perspectives from HR leaders at Bureau Veritas, sharing how AI and automation are already driving measurable impact — from recruiter efficiency gains through sourcing and scheduling automation, to improving candidate experiences, internal mobility, and skills-based talent strategies.
