We’re hosting an HR Leaders Breakfast in Farnborough next week focused on: 👉 AI in HR, Unfiltered: What’s Actually Working and Who is in Control? AI tools are being rolled out at pace. Some are delivering genuine value. Others are quietly failing. At the same time, a bigger question is emerging, Who actually owns AI in your organisation AND how is it being governed? We’ll be tackling two key themes during the discussion: 1️⃣ AI Tools in HR: What’s genuinely worth using right now and what isn’t? 2️⃣ AI Governance: Who owns AI in your organisation? HR? IT? Legal? Operations? What are you actually doing about governance and accountability? ❓Before the session, I’d love to hear from my network: 🔵 Which AI tools are proving genuinely useful in HR? 🔵 Where have you seen overhype or disappointing results? 🔵 Who is leading AI governance in your organisation? 🔵 Are you creating formal policies yet, or still experimenting? 📩 Interested to hear the honest, unfiltered reality from across the market.

💡 AI in HR: Learning from the Expert! Today, I attended a highly insightful webinar on "AI in HR: The Future of Human Resource Management" conducted by Abraham George, an industry leader with over 33+ years of experience. The session beautifully highlighted why AI and digital skills are becoming essential for the next generation of HR professionals. It was fascinating to see how AI transforms recruitment, onboarding, and performance tracking—making processes faster, reducing recruitment costs, and enabling data-backed decision-making. As the industry shifts towards automation and predictive analytics, staying ahead of these trends is crucial. Ready to implement these leanings and build a future-ready career path! 🚀📈 Thank you, Mr. Abraham George, for an incredible, practical, and forward-looking session. #HRManagement #ArtificialIntelligence #HRTransformation #HRGraduates #Upskilling #IndustryTrends #LinkedInNetworking #AI

AI moved. You didn’t. 👀 While every other function is rebuilding workflows with AI, most HR teams are still stuck doing manually what could already be automated, accelerated, or completely rethought. That’s exactly why we’re opening HR Playbook 7.0 with a hands-on Claude Cowork Masterclass led by Abhash Kumar. This is not another “future of AI” conversation. And it’s definitely not a prompt list pretending to be strategy. This session is built around the actual work HR teams do every day: 📌 Candidate communication 📌 Job architecture & policy drafting 📌 Performance frameworks 📌 HRBP support & manager coaching 📌 Smarter people operations at scale If hiring, L&D, HR ops, or people strategy is part of your role, this session will change how you think about your workflow. Because AI already moved forward. The question is whether your HR function moved with it. 🗓️ May 20 | Register → https://lnkd.in/g4FaXUgJ

In my experience as an HR leader, I've often seen that the employees who need development the most, high performers, high potentials, and successors to critical roles, are often the ones without a strong development plan. Not because managers don't care, but because building a targeted, actionable development plan takes time most managers don't have. The AI-powered Career Development Hub that I prototyped does that work. It identifies the gaps, generates a personalized employee development plan, and gives the manager and employee something specific to work from. The conversation still happens. It's just better, faster, and grounded in something solid. That can make the difference between a development conversation that actually moves talent forward and one that checks a box. The same framework could also apply to talent, performance management, and leadership development processes. AI doesn't replace the human interaction. It makes the human interaction better. #AIinHR #TalentDevelopment #HRLeadership #SkillsBasedTalent #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/eZiujEtD

Everyone is talking about integrating AI into HR. According to SHRM, 92% of CHROs anticipate AI will be further integrated into the workforce this year, but the gap between intent and execution is wide. Most of what is getting built is AI wrapped around the same broken processes. The real problem is not the technology. Whether an employee gets a meaningful development conversation still depends on which manager they happen to have. That's not a talent strategy. That's luck. I designed and prototyped an AI-powered Career Development Hub (using Anthropic's Claude AI) that pulls from a company's own competency framework, assesses skill gaps, and recommends a personalized employee development plan, directly usable by both the manager and employee. ✅ For employees: Know which skills to build and how to develop them through experience, exposure, and formal learning. ✅ For managers: Stop relying on instinct. Evaluate your people against defined role expectations and give them a path that closes their gaps. ✅ For the business: Replace inconsistent development conversations with a common standard and know where your enterprise gaps are before they become retention or performance problems. The potential is real: less time on development planning, greater consistency across managers, and a standard that scales without losing quality. I'm working on the next iteration that plugs into a company's existing HR systems, job models, and competency frameworks. Rigorous talent development is a business strategy, not an HR program. This is what that looks like in practice. #talentdevelopment #skillsbasedtalent #HRleadership

Show me the org chart for AI policy training in your company. I'll wait. In most orgs it doesn't exist. The policy got written (Legal). The tools got procured (IT). The vendor demo got watched. But the actual training that turns "we have an AI policy" into "people know what they can and can't do" hasn't been assigned to anyone. It's a footnote in five different roadmaps and a deliverable on none. SHRM's 2026 State of AI in HR report puts numbers to it. Legal and compliance lead AI governance in 37% of organizations. Cross-functional task forces lead AI upskilling in 29%. HR is right behind on upskilling (28%), but only 15% of HR professionals think HR should own training employees to use AI tools. So the people writing the policy aren't the people building the training, and the people building the training don't think it's their job either. This is fine until it isn't. The EU AI Act's Article 4 literacy obligation has been in force since February 2025; enforcement starts August 2026. (And yes, it reaches U.S. companies with EU operations, contractors included.) Domestically, 19 of the most populous U.S. states now have AI-related employment rules on the books. Three questions worth answering before someone else asks them: When the AI policy changes, who updates the training? When a new AI tool rolls out, who decides what training comes with it? When a regulator asks for proof of training completion, who pulls the records? If the answer is "we'll figure that out," figure it out before August. #AIGovernance #LearningAndDevelopment #AIReadiness #AIEnablement https://lnkd.in/gsytj85w
