CHRO & People Compass

Lead the AI workforce shift with less budget and more scrutiny. Learn from zero to expert, map which tasks AI will automate or augment in each role, plan reskilling and redeployment, keep AI in hiring fair and legal, and give employees a clear AI policy and an honest change story.

For: CHROs, Chief People Officers and HR VPs, plus talent acquisition, learning and development, HR operations and HR-technology leaders. You can start with zero AI knowledge: the learn path goes from the basics to designing an organization where people and AI agents work side by side, and every tool works in the terms you already use — roles, headcount, hours, skills and employee sentiment.

Why it matters

In Gartner's 2026 survey of 750 CHROs, HR tech and AI strategy was a newcomer to the top priorities and climbed straight to second place, between leader and manager development and change management. Lack of skills (45%) is the top barrier to it. At the same time, Gartner finds CFOs cutting HR budgets harder than any other function's: average HR budget growth falls to 0.7% in 2026, and expected headcount growth falls to 2%. In McKinsey's 2026 State of AI survey, 39% of respondents expect AI to reduce headcount at their organization in the next year. CHROs must redesign work, reskill people and keep AI in hiring fair and legal, with less money.
