The Learning CEO: Why CHROs Must Own the Growth Mandate
Positioning L&D as a boardroom priority and how CHROs can become growth architects in an AI-transformed workplace
29th May, 2025
Hilton International Airport, Mumbai
In the age of Generative AI, the workplace will be redefined faster than ever. As automation reshapes roles and AI democratizes knowledge, CHROs will step up as strategic leaders of capability, agility, and innovation—no longer just custodians of culture, but key architects of business growth.
In this context, Learning & Development must move from the background to the forefront of business performance. CHROs will need to take ownership of the learning mandate—not as a cost center, but as a growth engine. With most L&D budgets consumed by content, there’s a critical need for a sharper content strategy. Generative AI will offer a powerful opportunity to deliver learning that is personalized, contextual, and directly tied to business goals—if CHROs are ready to lead the way.
Key Discussion Points:
Gen AI in the Flow of Learning: How CHROs can use AI to generate personalized learning content at scale, aligned to dynamic business needs.
Content as the Growth Engine: Rethinking content curation and creation as the strategic lever in learning ROI—less generic, more business-critical.
From Cost Center to Growth Multiplier: Making the financial case for AI-driven L&D investments in boardrooms.
Data-Driven, Skills-First Strategy: Using analytics to map evolving skill needs, personalize pathways, and measure business impact.
Leadership in an AI World: Developing adaptive, resilient leaders who can navigate complexity and ambiguity.
Enterprise Learning as an Operating System: Embedding learning into the rhythm of work—continuous, contextual, and connected to business KPIs.
Change at Scale: Driving executive buy-in and cultural alignment for AI-powered learning ecosystem.
