Elevating People Data Strategy: Aligning with AI and Enterprise Transformation

How integrated data and AI reshape HR’s commercial impact

Your people data strategy is in place – you’ve integrated data from various systems, built polished dashboards, and perhaps even experimented with chatbots to deliver insights. But what comes next? How do you advance your strategy to ensure people data remains a critical driver of business success in the AI era, particularly as organisations accelerate their adoption of Generative AI?

 

This session will explore
  • Expanding beyond HR by embedding people data into employees' daily workflows.

  • Empowering business leaders with a unified view of HR and enterprise-wide data for better decision-making.

  • Leveraging enterprise-wide investments to maximise the value of people data and align with GenAI-driven transformation.

  • Strengthening governance with consistent access control, data quality management, and content oversight to support AI adoption.

  • Shifting the perception of people data strategy from a cost-saving solution to a strategic enabler of business growth in the AI era.

Learning outcomes
  • Identify where AI can drive immediate efficiency gains in HR processes
  • Develop a tailored roadmap for piloting AI in your organisation
  • Evaluate business returns and communicate the financial impact to senior stakeholders
  • Forge cross-functional partnerships to support sustainable AI initiatives.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, HR leaders face mounting pressure to unify disparate data sources and demonstrate tangible business impact. By integrating people data with AI, teams can optimise recruitment, drive engagement, reduce costs, and proactively shape strategic decisions. This shift positions HR as a critical partner in organisational success, ensuring that workforce decisions are grounded in robust analytics rather than intuition. The session illustrates how data-driven AI solutions translate into commercial gains, fostering a culture of continuous innovation and measurable returns.
