How HR leaders can lead AI transformation – not just support it 

AI is reshaping organizations faster than most leadership teams can respond. The gap isn’t technology – it’s human capability, leadership readiness, and organizational design. In this masterclass, Amit Joshi, Professor of AI and Strategy, cuts through the noise to give HR leaders a clear view of what’s actually holding organizations back – and the actions they’re uniquely positioned to take.

Topic 1 – The AI skills gap: What leaders must know and do

Most organizations are racing to adopt AI tools while underinvesting in the human capabilities needed to use them effectively. This masterclass reframes the AI skills gap as a strategic leadership challenge – not just an L&D problem – and equips HR leaders with the knowledge and frameworks to drive enterprise-wide AI readiness from the inside out.

Key takeaways:

    • A clear picture of what AI readiness actually looks like at the enterprise level – beyond tool adoption

    • Frameworks for auditing your organization’s current AI capability landscape

    • Practical ways to reposition HR as a driver – not just a supporter – of AI transformation

    • Insight into which human skills become more valuable as AI scales, and how to build for them
Topic 2 – Beyond the technical: The leadership capabilities that turn AI into organizational performance


AI investment is accelerating, but the returns remain elusive for most organizations – and the gap is rarely technical. This masterclass makes the case that sustainable AI performance depends on leadership capability, culture, and organizational design, and gives HR leaders the tools to champion and build what’s missing.

Key takeaways:

    • A compelling narrative HR leaders can use to reframe AI ROI conversations at the executive level

    • Clarity on the specific leadership capabilities that separate high-performing AI organizations from the rest

    • Actionable approaches to embedding AI readiness into leadership development and performance frameworks

    • A stronger strategic mandate for HR in AI transformation that goes beyond implementation support
