Accumulation ≠ Advancement: Rethinking Digital Infrastructure for Talent

17 Sep 2025
Mandalay Bay J Ballroom
Core Session
HR tech is everywhere. But more tools don’t mean more progress. In this strategy-first session, challenge the assumption that digital equals advanced. Drawing on global research and real-world advisory insights, Sharna Wiblen will unpack how many talent systems are built through tech accumulation rather than intentional design. This session will shift your thinking from digital activity to strategic decision-making infrastructure.
