Co-Authors of the Future of Talent: When Artificial Intelligence Meets Actual Intelligence

Actual Intelligence Means Asking Better Questions. Artificial Intelligence Gives You More Answers. But Only Together Do They Write the Future.

AI will not take your job.  But those who are skilled with the latest tools and have strategies on how to use the new technology will accelerate in transforming talent management, and what it means for the future of how we hire, develop, retain, and exit talent. The promise is extraordinary: AI can identify high-potential talent buried under bureaucracy, personalize career development with next-level precision, and bring hiring practices into the modern era—faster, fairer, and more focused on what actually predicts success. It’s helping make performance management feel like a real conversation, replacing rigid org charts with effective organizational design, and turning outplacement into guided reinvention.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explore how AI is reshaping the entire talent lifecycle—from hiring and development to succession and outplacement—using real-world examples from leading organizations.
2. Understand how to modernize hiring practices with AI-driven tools that improve speed, fairness, and match quality—without sacrificing human judgment.
3. Discover how AI supports smarter org design and workforce planning, replacing static succession charts with dynamic, skills-based models that respond to real-time business needs.
4. See how AI is transforming leadership development by identifying high-potential talent early, mapping skills gaps, and generating personalized development plans that align with future business needs.
5. Examine how reduction in force is turning organizational and career disruption into AI-enabled guided reinvention through resume optimization, job matching engines, and 24/7 virtual coaching.

This is an ongoing conversation about how we use technology to make our work better, easier, and more efficient—how we apply both artificial and actual intelligence to the real challenges of hiring, developing, retaining, and transitioning talent.

This is a facilitated conversation. A dialogue. A space where we share insights, pressure-test ideas, and learn from each other’s wins, misses, and lessons in progress. You’ll hear what others are trying. You’ll contribute your own experiences. And together, we’ll walk away with clearer thinking and more practical ways to move forward.

Because the future of talent is already being shaped—by the choices we make now.
