Two of the most respected voices in HR leadership – Susan Kelliher, former CHRO of Chemours, and Patrick McLaughlin, former CHRO of PepsiCo Foods North America had a candid, forward-looking conversation grounded in decades of experience leading world-class HR organizations. This session explored the real challenges facing the HR function today and in the years ahead: not only the disruptive rise of AI, but the broader set of strategic, organizational, and workforce changes reshaping how companies operate.
Susan and Patrick reflected on the strengths HR brings to these challenges, the blind spots and systemic limitations that leaders must manage, and the strategies they have used to help their organizations thrive.
