Digital HR Leaders with David Green

Your organisation has committed to an AI strategy. But what does that commitment mean for the people who have to work differently because of it?

AI adoption is moving into a more demanding phase. The challenge for HR and learning leaders is translating technology investment into new capabilities, different ways of working and measurable business outcomes.

In this special episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Mike Wynn, SVP, Academy Executive for AI Capabilities & Enterprise Learning Products at Bank of America, and Himanshu Palsule, CEO of Cornerstone. Together, they explore what it takes to build an AI-ready workforce, combining the practical experience of capability building at scale with a broader perspective on workforce intelligence, skills and work redesign.

Join them as they explore:

How Bank of America is building AI confidence and capability across every career stage, from self-paced learning to collaborative, experiential workshops
Why every AI capability the bank teaches is anchored to human skills such as judgement, critical thinking and strategic thinking
Why organisations need to connect AI strategy with workforce strategy by understanding how work, tasks and skills are changing
How workforce intelligence can help organisations connect signals about people and work with outcomes such as productivity, mobility and workforce transformation
Why learning increasingly needs to happen in the flow of work, as technology makes development more continuous and contextual
Why course completions and attendance are insufficient measures of success, and why leaders should instead look for changes in behaviour, work and business outcomes
What HR and learning leaders should prioritise when ambitious AI plans have yet to translate into a clear people strategy

For CHROs, CLOs and workforce leaders, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for moving beyond AI experimentation and building the workforce capability needed to turn ambition into business value.

This episode is sponsored by Cornerstone.

Industries, organisations and workforces are all changing at once, and most people leaders are trying to respond with fragmented data and processes that move too slowly to keep up. Cornerstone brings together the insights leaders need, the learning and skills that move people forward, and AI agents that turn intelligence into action, helping organisations build a workforce that’s ready for what’s next.

What if the thing slowing down AI in HR isn't the technology at all, but the way the function is set up to deliver it?

Most HR organisations already have access to AI. The bigger challenge is whether the way HR is structured, governed and measured is ready to turn that technology into sustainable business value.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer, principal analyst and co-founder of Brandon Hall Group, to explore new research identifying six structural moves for building an AI-enabled HR operating model.

Join them, as they discuss:

Why the operating model can become the constraint on AI transformation, even when the technology is ready
What changes when HR manages recruiting, learning, employee experience and workforce planning as continuously evolving products rather than finite programmes
Why great people and well-designed processes need to come before technology, and the risks of automating processes that already need redesigning
How talent pods, workforce product teams and centres of excellence can combine business proximity with scalable solutions and enterprise standards
Why HR business partners need deeper business acumen and a stronger performance consulting mindset
Why governance works best when it is embedded into design and delivery, helping create the trust required for innovation
Why HR needs to strengthen capabilities in judgement, critical thinking, business acumen and data and analytics as work changes
How leaders can measure business, workforce, system and future impact rather than simply tracking implementation activity

For CHROs and HR leaders rethinking how their function operates, this conversation provides a practical framework for creating an HR model that can continuously adapt, scale and deliver measurable value.

As AI reshapes work, the people function has an opportunity to play a much bigger role in how organisations navigate the transformation. At Snowflake, that starts with trusted data, strong people analytics and a clear view of what technology should automate, where it should augment human capability, and what should remain human.

In this episode, David Green is joined by Arnnon Geshuri, Chief People Officer at Snowflake. Drawing on a career that includes senior roles at Google, Tesla and Teladoc Health, Arnnon explains why data has become a common language between HR and the business, and how Snowflake is putting that philosophy into practice.

In this conversation, David and Arnnon discuss:

Why people analytics gives HR greater credibility and influence with senior business leaders
Snowflake’s model for deciding what to automate, what to augment and what should remain human
How Snowflake’s talent acquisition team is building its own tools, including an application that reduced hours of work on job descriptions to minutes
Why AI is changing jobs, career paths and the skills people will need as work is redesigned
Why trusted data is essential to workforce transformation, and how Snowflake puts interactive organisational insights directly into managers’ hands
How Snowflake’s talent acquisition team achieved a 20% productivity improvement, and why Arnnon focuses on business outcomes rather than tool usage
Why analytics, systems thinking and change management are becoming essential capabilities for current and aspiring Chief People Officers

For HR and people analytics leaders, this conversation provides a practical look at how a data-led people function can help shape work, strengthen decision-making and lead organisational transformation.

A year ago, the challenge was getting people to use AI. Now, the harder task is turning widespread experimentation into redesigned work, stronger productivity and measurable business impact.

In this episode, David Green is joined by Ronni Zehavi, Co-Founder and CEO of HiBob, to explore what the company has learned from its own award-winning AI transformation. Ronni also shares an early, inside perspective on Salesforce’s $166 million investment in HiBob and why it represents an important next chapter in the company’s evolution towards an Organisational Intelligence platform, built on trusted workforce context to help organisations redesign work and make better decisions as people and AI increasingly work side by side.

Join them, as David and Ronni discuss:

Why HiBob shifted its focus from experimentation and adoption to measuring productivity, impact and business value
Why managers are the critical change agents in workforce transformation, and what HiBob learned from its Leading with AI programme
Why skills are becoming increasingly important to work redesign, and how this is reshaping job architecture, hiring and development
How Ronni has changed his own behaviour as CEO, including building a digital twin that has become part of how he works every day
Why trusted people and organisational data is central to HiBob’s vision for Organisational Intelligence, and what the Salesforce investment could mean for the company’s next chapter
Why HR needs to take a leading role in redesigning work, while simultaneously transforming its own capabilities, processes and ways of working

For HR and business leaders navigating the same transition, this is a candid look behind the curtain at what it takes to move from promising adoption numbers to meaningful changes in how work gets done and measurable business impact.
