AI is transforming the workplace—but organisations that succeed will be those that put people at the heart of that transformation.
The question is no longer whether AI will reshape work; it already has. The challenge now is how organisations build the skills, cultures, and capabilities needed to thrive in an AI-enabled world.
Join us for a thought-provoking webinar with Kathryn Kearney, EdTech consultant, startup advisor, and founder of Evergreen EdTech Consulting, as she explores how organisations can move beyond AI uncertainty and focus on the human opportunities this technology creates.
Drawing on her experience leading corporate learning in some of the world’s most innovative technology organisations, including Google, Amazon, and Databricks, Kathryn will share insights on why AI is not a replacement for human potential—but a catalyst for reimagining how people learn, develop, and contribute.
Following the keynote, Kathryn will be joined by Learnovate researchers Janet Benson and Ilse White for a panel discussion chaired by Frank O’Reilly, exploring how organisations can turn AI ambition into practical action.
Together, they will discuss:
- How to build AI literacy across the workforce
- The human skills that will become increasingly valuable
- How learning and development must evolve for the AI era
- How organisations can embed continuous learning into everyday work
- How to ensure AI adoption is inclusive, responsible, and people-centred
Whether you are a learning leader, HR professional, business leader, or someone interested in the future of work, this webinar will provide practical insights into building organisations where humans and AI can work together to create greater impact.
Join us to explore how organisations can work with the wave of AI transformation—and harness it as an opportunity to invest in their people.
