From parallel paths to shared purpose: Redefining HR + IT in the AI era

For years, HR and IT have approached the same business goals from different perspectives; one nurturing the human element, the other evolving the digital one.

This month’s Talent Table will explore how the rapid rise of AI and automation is pulling HR and IT into the same orbit. Treating them as two separate teams is no longer just outdated, it’s a roadblock to innovation and the success of the business. At a minimum this requires speaking the same language, but we’re also seeing a future where they’re working hand in hand.

This isn’t something on the horizon. It’s real, it’s happening now, and it’s even in the news.

This interactive panel discussion explored:

  • The benefits of closer collaboration for HR, IT and the organisation as a whole
  • How to start the conversation and define HR’s role in this new world
  • Why it’s critical that HR & IT work together to deliver AI’s full potential

This webinar offers a timely opportunity to get ahead of the change, understand the impacts and define the strategy and role of HR.
