How Do We Prepare Leaders & the Wider Organization to Actively Lead AI Driven Change?

Across life sciences, accountability has shifted. AI is no longer a technology priority sitting with the CIO; it’s a value creation imperative landing squarely on the CHRO.

The question every leader in this room is navigating is the same: how do we get to value, fast,

without losing what makes our organizations distinctly human?

This session explores two interconnected challenges. Firstly: making workforce strategy agile

and future proof and rethinking how work gets done when humans and AI agents operate as an

intelligent system. Secondly, the session examines how organizations are preparing leaders to

actively steer AI-driven change. Specifically, this means understanding how to build the trust that

helps people see agents not as a threat but as a way to enrich work, reduce lower-value activity, and create space for purpose and judgment.
