AI in HR - Session 2
Building Judgment in an AI-Enabled Workplace
Presented by
Ashley Johnson
Principal HR Business Partner

As AI takes on more of the day-to-day tasks, the real opportunity is making sure your people keep growing in judgment and expertise that great HR and great leadership require. This session introduces the Missing Middle, a fresh way of thinking about how expertise gets built and where AI can support that growth rather than replace it. You'll leave with the Capability Ladder, a hands-on framework for auditing how your future leaders are developing the skills your organization will need for years to come.
