There’s a question many of us in HR are starting to ask: if AI can increasingly do the work we have traditionally done, what keeps HR relevant?

For years, HR has said it wants to spend less time on administration, transactions and firefighting, and more time doing work that genuinely helps the organisation.

AI could finally make that possible.

As more routine HR work can be automated or done faster with AI, the question isn’t simply what disappears. It’s what HR becomes more valuable for.

In this free 45-minute live session, Lucy Adams and Karen Moran will explore how HR can use AI to rethink its own work and play a bigger role in helping the organisation adapt as work changes.

We’ll look at how HR can stop, simplify or redesign low-value activity, and use AI to create more time for work that needs judgement, insight and human understanding.

We’ll also explore how HR can help leaders rethink jobs and redesign work. Where should AI take on repetitive activity? Where do people add the most value? What new skills will be needed, and how might roles and teams need to change?

And we’ll consider the capabilities HR will need more of, from understanding the business and diagnosing problems to exercising judgement, influencing leaders and helping change happen.

You’ll leave with:

A clearer view of which parts of traditional HR work are most likely to change.

Practical ideas for stopping, simplifying or redesigning HR work.

A better understanding of the capabilities HR will need more of.

Ways to help leaders rethink roles, work and skills.

Examples of what other organisations are already trying.

This isn’t about turning HR into AI experts. It’s about using AI as an opportunity to make HR more useful, more influential and better able to help the organisation make good decisions about people and work.

Join us for this special free live session with Lucy Adams to discuss her recently published book, ‘Influential HR: Why leaders aren’t listening to you and what to do about it’.

Lucy Adams is the CEO of Disruptive HR and a former HR Director at the BBC. She is known for challenging traditional HR thinking and helping HR teams find simpler, more human and more effective ways to make an impact.

Hear from Lucy about what prompted her to write the book and some of the key messages within it, exploring how HR can build greater credibility, confidence and influence.

Lucy will share practical ideas from the book to help you:

Create more equal, adult-to-adult relationships with leaders

Stop rescuing managers and help them build their own capability

Design HR solutions that leaders genuinely value and want to use

Challenge with greater confidence and authority

Move from being seen as the HR expert to becoming a trusted thinking partner

This is a session for anyone in HR who wants leaders to listen, take them seriously and act on their advice. You’ll leave with fresh thinking, useful tools and small changes you can put into practice immediately.
