AI is no longer just a tool in the hands of employees. It is starting to behave like one.
Agentic AI systems can plan, decide, act and learn with increasing autonomy. As these systems move closer to “digital co workers”, they challenge some of the most fundamental assumptions behind how organisations are designed, led and rewarded.
What does it mean for (HR) leaders?
How do you manage, motivate and integrate agents that don’t fit traditional employee models, yet influence performance, productivity and culture?
In this exclusive online knowledge sharing session, Prof. Dr. Martin Butler explores how agentic AI is reshaping the business of tomorrow, and what HR, leadership and organisational designers can learn from past technology shifts. Drawing on academic insights and real-world examples, he will unpack the implications for:
- Organisational structures and governance
- Control systems, trust and accountability
- Incentives, rewards and recognition in hybrid human–AI environments
- HR’s role in designing agility for a mixed workforce of humans and agents
You’ll then see these ideas brought to life in a client case study, showing how organisations are already experimenting with agentic systems in practice — and what HR can learn from their early choices, successes and pitfalls.
This session is not about hype or distant futures. It’s about taking a small, confident step into the agentic future, with a clearer understanding of how HR can actively shape — rather than simply react to — what comes next.
