Beyond Strategic HR: Why the Modern CHRO Must Be a Business Executive
Being a "strategic HR leader" is no longer enough. Boards and executive teams increasingly expect CHROs to operate as enterprise leaders who can connect workforce strategy, business performance, technology, risk, and transformation.
Wednesday, July 8th at 12:30 PM EST
Join Kristy McCann and Kristina Karcic for a roundtable conversation on the evolving role of the modern CHRO and what it takes to lead beyond the people function.
Together they'll explore:
- Why CHROs need to speak the language of business, P&L, risk, and transformation, not just talent.
- How workforce strategy, AI adoption, and operating model design are deeply interconnected.
- Why the CHRO is uniquely positioned to see across people, culture, process, and technology.
- The evolving partnership between HR, Finance, Legal, and Security in managing enterprise risk and driving growth.
- How leaders can build trust during periods of change, uncertainty, and transformation.
