Anatomy of an ‘AI-first’ HR org
Chairs Advisory Board Chair Talks About HR Leading This Change
Human Resource Executive's "Anatomy of an ‘AI-first’ HR org" follows up on HR Executive’s recent What’s Keeping HR Up at Night? survey, in which the share of organizations that rolled out new AI applications doubled in the last year, including 15% that were just AI in HR cases.
Preparing both the function and the broader organization for the technology shift is elevating HR’s strategic role, says Nickle LaMoreaux, CAHRS Advisory Board Chair and CHRO of IBM. As HR increasingly takes the helm of AI transformation, it’s reshaping the skill sets needed to lead: a stronger emphasis on business acumen and an ability to give and receive candid feedback, take risks and exert influence, she says.
It’s not simply about selecting and rolling out new tech, but rather driving effective change management and culture transformation, while lending people expertise to skills-building and operating model redesigns. “That’s where HR can—and should—be leading, because that’s where we excel,” LaMoreaux says.
