Every People leader has sat through the AI 101.

This isn't that.

Michael builds AI systems for real businesses at Hourglass AI, and he'll show you what a CPO should actually have running by year-end:

  • which workflows to automate first
  • why making AI understand your company matters more than picking tools, and
  • how to roll out with one team instead of a company-wide pilot that dies quietly.

You'll leave with the exact plays separating the CPOs using AI from the ones still talking about it.

What you'll leave with:

  1. A year-end checklist of the People workflows to automate first: candidate screening, onboarding, employee Q&A and comms drafting, sequenced boring-first so each win funds the next.
  2. Why most HR AI pilots stall: the tools aren't the problem, the company isn't AI-readable. How to package your policies, playbooks and tone of voice so any AI you buy actually works.
  3. The rollout play: start with the one team screaming loudest, prove ROI, create internal champions, then scale. Not a company-wide licence nobody uses.
