Overview:

As AI reshapes the way we work, learn, and compete, organizations are facing a critical inflection point. The ability to scale AI and digital capabilities across the workforce has become a strategic imperative, and inclusive leadership is the key to making it happen.

Women leaders in L&D, HR, Tech, IT, and Data & Transformation bring a distinctive strength to this challenge. They lead with both precision and empathy, blending technical vision with human-centered leadership. In doing so, they foster trust in AI adoption, inspire continuous learning, and create environments where innovation and inclusion reinforce one another.

In this roundtable, we will bring together senior women leaders driving the future of work to explore how organizations can accelerate AI skill development and digital readiness at scale. Together, we will unpack what it takes to lead transformation that is not only technologically advanced but also equitable, sustainable, and future-focused.

Through candid dialogue and shared experience, we will examine how women are guiding their teams and their organizations to embrace AI skill development with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

Topics of Discussion:

1. How urgent is AI skill development in your organization, and what are the risks of delaying upskilling?

2. What challenges do you face in building AI readiness across your teams, and how are you addressing them?

3. Where is AI creating the most measurable value today—and what’s preventing broader adoption and scale?

4. How are you fostering AI literacy, confidence, and ethical use across managers and frontline teams?

5. How do women have the edge as leaders shaping transformation agendas, that align technology, talent, and governance for long-term impact?
