The Agentic Shift: The HR Playbook

20 Oct 2026
Oceanside B Ballroom
HR Executive Strategy Summit
Most AI in HR talks stay safely in the realm of high-level policy or basic productivity hacks. But to build a workforce strategy today, CHROs need an honest look at the reality under the hood.

We are moving from a world where people execute manual tasks to one where people direct AI systems. When these systems fail, it’s rarely a technical glitch; it’s almost always a breakdown at the handoff between human strategy and automated execution. As employees make this shift, how work gets done is completely changing.

In this 20-minute executive briefing, G-P COO Nat Natarajan and Head of HR Laura Maffucci will give leaders an honest look at the technical reality driving this shift. You’ll learn how autonomous agents operate in practice, why keeping humans in the loop is critical, and how to protect your organization against real-world compliance and governance risks in a borderless workforce.
