Future-Ready Workforce TransformationThe Talent Operating System: How AI is quietly rewriting the rules of performance, learning, and leadership

AI is no longer a future-of-work experiment — it is rapidly becoming the operating system of the modern talent ecosystem. In this rare peer-level conversation, senior leaders from GoHealth, GE HealthCare, and The Walt Disney Company’s Partners Federal Credit Union will pull back the curtain on how AI is being embedded across hiring, learning, performance management, and workforce planning to reshape how organizations actually run. From predicting skill gaps before they appear to personalizing development at scale and eliminating the friction that slows down human potential, this session will reveal how leading enterprises are moving beyond disconnected HR tools toward fully integrated, intelligent talent systems. For HR and L&D executives navigating the pressure to move faster, work smarter, and prove impact, this is a front-row look at what the next generation of workforce leadership really looks like.
