People & Talent Club - Designing the Human Edge: New Roles in the Age of Generative AI

Join our People & Talent Club event to explore new roles in the age of generative AI.

Generative AI isn’t just transforming tasks; it’s reshaping the very structure of work. For People and Talent leaders, the challenge is no longer simply adapting roles but intentionally designing new ones where humans and AI create value together.

In this session presented by Christian Howieson, Operating Model & Organisational Design Leader, Enterprise Transformation at Sia Partners and Charles Ayoubi, Professor at ESSEC Business School, we’ll explore how organisations can intentionally design new roles, skills, and team models where humans and AI perform at their best together.

If AI can generate almost anything, the real question for talent leaders becomes: what should humans be designed to do next?

What You’ll Learn
• Discover How AI is redefining workforce design
• What scientific research reveals about AI’s impact on workflows, roles, skills, and organisation design — from a leading professor in the field
• How the theory is being applied in practice by a leading organisation
• Practical lessons for HR leaders shaping the future workforce

The session will be moderated by Melanie Stancliffe, Employment Partner at Freeths.
