Interview Program Overview
This research explores the central challenge facing organisations today: whether to sprint towards AI adoption or take a measured marathon approach. With AI promising productivity gains of up to 300% and the potential to automate half of current workplace tasks by 2025, organisations face pressure to move quickly. Yet this transformation requires reskilling over half the workforce and navigating significant cultural change.
For CHROs and People Leaders, this means balancing rapid innovation with sustainable change. They must coordinate massive upskilling initiatives whilst maintaining employee wellbeing, reshape career paths as AI automates entry-level tasks, and manage regional variations in adoption rates and regulatory requirements - from Europe's cautious approach to the US market's aggressive stance.
This research aims to provide practical insights for People Leaders navigating this complex transformation journey.
Interview Questions
With AI potentially automating up to 50% of current tasks, how are you reimagining your workforce structure for 2025 and beyond? What roles do you see emerging versus declining?
How are you addressing the 'hidden resistance' to AI adoption, particularly given that 54% of UK employees feel uncomfortable admitting their use of AI to managers?
What is your approach to building a comprehensive reskilling programme that addresses both technical AI skills and the human capabilities that will become more crucial as routine tasks are automated?
How do you determine the right pace of AI implementation for your organisation - are you opting for a 'sprint' or 'marathon' approach, and what factors influenced this decision?
With AI increasingly handling entry-level tasks, how are you redesigning graduate programmes and early career paths to ensure meaningful development opportunities?
As AI tools enable significant productivity gains, how are you evolving your performance management systems to balance increased output expectations with employee wellbeing?
How has the integration of AI tools changed your employee value proposition, and how are you communicating these changes to both current and prospective employees?
What new capabilities are you developing in your leadership pipeline to effectively manage AI-augmented teams and hybrid human-AI workflows?
How are you structuring teams and reporting relationships to optimise collaboration between humans and AI systems whilst maintaining clear accountability?
What metrics and KPIs are you using to measure the success of your AI transformation beyond traditional productivity metrics? How are you tracking cultural adoption and employee sentiment?
