From Hindsight to Foresight: People Management in the AI Era

In the AI era, good management matters more, not less. As AI absorbs the administrative bulk of the manager's role, what's left is the harder, more human work: navigating constant change while keeping culture intact. This session brings together research from Jaime Roca's new book, drawn from his years leading Gartner's HR practice, on the six conversations that separate Standout Managers from everyone else, and Darwinbox's view on how a Proactive HCM frees up managers' time and gives them foresight to get ahead of workforce risk. 

In this session, you'll learn:

• How to navigate the new pressures reshaping the manager role today - wider spans, less time to coach, and teams that are harder to keep motivated
• Which parts of the manager’s role AI is absorbing, and which parts will define a manager's value from here
• How to act on the foresight of proactive HCM surfaces and make sharper people decisions
• Frameworks HR leaders can use to equip managers to lead more confidently, not just more efficiently
