Making HR AI Ready — Fast, Fearless, and Focused on Value

22 Oct 2026
Breakout Session
What does it really take for HR to become AI ready when speed matters, accuracy is essential, and the HR tech stack wasn’t built with today’s AI ecosystem in mind?

As AI reshapes the HR technology landscape, leaders face a critical challenge: how to modernize a complex HR tech ecosystem quickly, responsibly, and with measurable business impact. In this session, Sanofi opens the hood on its two year HR ecosystem modernization—an enterprise-level effort designed to simplify an inherited tech stack, reduce operational drag, accelerate responsible AI adoption, and transform HR into a more agile, AI-enabled function.  

While grounded in a global enterprise transformation, this session is designed for organizations of all sizes looking for practical ways to modernize HR technology, strengthen data foundations, and implement AI with confidence. Attendees will gain actionable guidance on where to start, how to prioritize foundational investments, and how to apply AI in critical HR processes while maintaining trust, transparency, and compliance.

The session highlights how Sanofi sequenced ecosystem simplification, data remediation, governance modernization, and AI use case experimentation to accelerate value without overwhelming HR or IT teams. You’ll leave with practical frameworks and real-world lessons you can apply immediately, whether optimizing existing systems, preparing for AI adoption, or leading large-scale transformation.
