Now is the time for bold, forward-thinking HR leaders! CEOs (and other business leaders) expect HR to have a point of view that understands the past, looks to optimize the present, and attempts to predict the future…all in the pursuit of business success. While artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way business gets done, HR can revolutionize what gets done in the business.

Presentation Objectives:

• Discuss AI’s impact on businesses and HR
• Focus on what matters most while steering clear of “fake” analytics
• Discover how talent predictions can transform hiring and retention in good (and bad) ways
• Take your HR data from analytics to prediction to action
