AI is not just a tool. It’s a catalyst for enterprise-wide transformation. As organizations adapt to the accelerating pace of change, the role of leadership development is becoming increasingly strategic. Success depends more on than adopting new technologies; it requires learning that’s embedded in the business and leaders who can guide people, culture, and innovation forward.

Join Leah Clark and Cara Halter of GP Strategies, and Farnaz Ronaghi and Rich Caccavale of NovoEd, for a high-impact panel discussion on how leadership development can be aligned with enterprise transformation strategies.

They will explore how organizations can:

• Position leadership development as a driver of scalable, AI-enabled change
• Use AI to deepen leadership capabilities like ethical judgement, critical thinking, and decision-making
• Support psychological safety and change adoption by designing inclusive, bias-aware systems and by engaging in dialogue
• Leverage mentoring and social learning to build connected, adaptive leadership at scale
• Equip leaders with a combination of the 4Qs: intelligence (IQ), emotional (EQ), technical (TQ), and cultural (CQ) quotients required in a human + AI workforce

Whether you’re overseeing digital transformation, leading enterprise learning, or evolving your leadership strategy, this session will provide forward-looking insights and actionable strategies to endure your programs — and your leaders — are ready for what’s next.
