Recorded live at Unleash, Gina shares why she sees AI as a human transformation story, and a huge opportunity for HR to redesign roles, teams and organisations. She explains the new skills HR needs to lead it, from workforce intelligence to business acumen, and why keeping purpose at work matters more than ever.

Gina shares how SAP has shifted from credential-based to skills-based selection and development, giving 112,000 colleagues access to a skills taxonomy that opens up career opportunities. She's open about what was hardest, and explains why global job architecture, an artefact of the industrial age, must be rethought.

Drawing on her family's story, Gina speaks about her commitment to economic inclusion. She describes SAP's support for social enterprises, with more than 4,400 on its business network platform, and its employee network groups, powered by tens of thousands of employees.

Gina's call to action for HR: step up as co-creators of the new AI era.

Coleen Highfield believes commercial success and people thriving at work go hand in hand. She shares how she has brought company cultures together after acquisitions, providing practical examples such as a six-week programme to help new colleagues feel part of the organisation, and pricing benefits harmonisation into the transaction, so everyone is on a level playing field.

As a single mum, Coleen speaks personally about talented women forced to pull back on their careers after having children. She introduces her upcoming book, Survive and Thrive for Working Mums, and describes the impact of a workplace children's holiday club that doubled as a talent solution.

Coleen's call to action for HR: be unapologetically brave in leading individualised ways of working.

Lisa Dodman shows how HR adds the most value to the business when it thinks commercially and steps beyond the rule book.

Drawing on her time leading the people strategy at a global software business, she reflects on how listening, psychological safety and a clear communication strategy took its Glassdoor rating from 3.4 to 4.1 in a year.

Lisa provides examples of how AI can take away HR's administrative work, freeing people teams to focus on workforce planning, commercial results and ensuring social value is not treated as a box-ticking exercise.

Her call to action for HR: don't confine yourself within the rules.
