As AI reshapes the life sciences operating model, CHROs are uniquely positioned to lead the

reinvention of workforce strategy, role, and organization design and future skills development. This

interactive workshop will explore how HR leaders can move beyond reactive change management

to proactively design roles and organizations where human potential and AI capabilities evolve and

work in tandem. The focus will be on long-term value creation, sustainable talent strategies, and

the leadership mindset required to navigate continuous transformation.

This workshop will address:

• What work should be reimagined vs just automated, and how AI is shifting the boundaries of work, roles, and decision-making – and what this means for organizational design and leadership
• The strategic risks of underinvesting in human capability development as AI accelerates – and how to balance efficiency with long-term resilience
• How CHROs can influence enterprise-wide thinking on skills, culture, and the employee experience in an AI-augmented environment

You will leave this workshop able to:

• Identify the most urgent strategic questions HR must answer to future-proof the workforce in an AI-enabled life sciences industry
• Evaluate your current workforce strategy through the lens of adaptability, hyper-efficiency, and long-term capability building
• Lead cross-functional conversations that position HR as a driver of innovation, not just a responder to disruption
