Facilitated by: Ivan Tolić, Director of Human Resources, Organizational Development and Sustainability, Raiffeisenbank Hrvatska

AI: The End of HR as We Know It?

AI is changing work, organizations and the role of HR itself. We will discuss AI readiness, resistance, building an AI culture and how HR can take an active role in this transformation.

Facilitated by: Marco Rossi, Engagement Manager, McKinsey & Company, Milan

Ch-ch-ch-changes

New strategy, new organization, new processes, new technology — change has become a permanent part of business. We will discuss how HR navigates different kinds of change, prepares people and the organization, and keeps the business running throughout.

Facilitated by: Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Professor, University College London & Columbia University

HR & M&A

What should HR do before, during and after an M&A process? We will discuss due diligence, communication, integrating cultures and processes, the risk of losing key people, and HR’s role in restructuring.

Facilitated by: Bruna Kostelac Košir, Head of Talent, Invera Equity Partners

Participants join moderated round tables and choose the topic they want to contribute to.

Each discussion lasts up to 60 minutes, followed by time for further introductions, connecting and continuing the conversation.
