You'll build

A workforce skills impact assessment mapping which roles AI augments, redesigns, or creates — and on what timeline
A 90-day leadership plan spanning personal AI mastery, HR team transformation, and board-ready workforce strategy
The SCALE scorecard for HR technology — strategic fit, cost, adoption, ROI, and execution risk for every AI vendor pitch
The HR AI Safety Protocol at organisational level — governance your legal team and works councils will sign off
A skills-based reskilling and redeployment framework that protects trust through AI-driven workforce change

Who this is for

Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs), Chief People Officers (CPOs), HR Directors, VP People, Head of People and Culture, and senior HR leaders who report to the CEO or sit on the executive committee. They own the people strategy. They set HR policy and priorities for the entire organisation. They manage the HR function — a team of HR professionals, recruiters, L&D specialists, and people operations staff. They are accountable for workforce planning, talent strategy, employee experience, and increasingly, for the organisation's AI readiness from a people perspective. They think in terms of workforce capability, employer brand, talent pipeline, organisational design, and culture — not in terms of individual HR transactions. Typically 15+ years in HR, with at least 3–5 in senior leadership.

Also for:HR Business Partners leading large divisions who are transitioning to strategic HR leadership; heads of talent or heads of people operations who report to the CHRO and shape functional strategy; organisational development directors; business leaders (COOs, MDs) who are closely partnered with HR on workforce transformation.

You’ll be able to

Assess their organisation's workforce AI readiness across people capability, HR processes, data infrastructure, and governance dimensions
Design a workforce transformation strategy that addresses AI-driven skills shifts, reskilling priorities, and role redesign — with a defensible plan they can present to the CEO and board
Apply the PRISM Prompting Framework to at least five strategic HR leadership tasks (workforce planning papers, board people reports, organisational design proposals, talent strategy briefs, change communications)
Evaluate HR AI technology investments using the AI Investment Scorecard (SCALE) and establish proportionate AI governance for the people function
Lead their HR team's own AI adoption and position the people function as the organisation's AI enablement partner — not a blocker
