Agenda

HR isn’t just evolving—it’s being redefined. As a leader, you aren't just managing a workforce; you’re the architect of its potential. Join us for a deep dive into how AI in HR is moving from a buzzword to a business-critical tool. We’ll showcase the latest Workday AI innovations and our ongoing core investments designed to help you build a future-ready organisation. 

CIOs and IT leaders are the enterprise architects of tomorrow, positioned to fuse human ingenuity with machine intelligence for the future of work. Hear from IT leaders and discover how Workday and our open AI-native platform empowers technology leaders to unlock critical insights and foster seamless human-agent collaboration for quantifiable business impact.

Learning & Development is in the middle of a structural shift. Static course catalogues and once-a-year programs can’t keep pace with how people actually work or consume knowledge. At the same time, AI is making it easier to create content and to deliver it to the right person, at exactly the right moment.

In this fireside chat, we’ll explore what it really takes to move from traditional learning models to “learning in the flow of work.” You’ll hear first-hand from Johanna Bolin Tingvall, Senior Director of Human Growth and Performance at On how they are using Sana Learn to deliver personalised learning experiences at scale and speed.

In unpredictable times, unified planning builds resilience. Discover how agentic AI drives smarter, faster decision-making across finance, HR, and operations. Hear from leaders embedding AI into their organisations, get a firsthand look at what's coming on the Workday Adaptive Planning and workforce planning roadmap, and see how new capabilities in organisation design and scenario modeling are expanding what's possible.

Take the power of Workday even further. The Workday Build developer platform unifies AI tools, certified partner solutions, Workday Data Cloud, and a thriving developer community to help you build and take action on our open platform. Discover how to build custom agents, apps, and orchestrations that natively inherit Workday’s enterprise-grade security and leverage unified, trusted data from Workday Data Cloud—enabling you to meet changing business demands with speed and confidence.

ABB moved from fragmented HR systems to an integrated HR foundation with Workday at the core - and then shifted from “project” to “platform” mode, building a technology roadmap and a continuous improvement capability to capture feedback, prioritize, implement changes, and keep evolving in line with business needs and strategy.

In this session you'll hear from Theresa Reul (HR Architecture Lead, ABB) and Helena Vogel (Workday) how an integrated roadmap, strong governance, and a structured partnership with Workday are unlocking value in HR, business and employee experience.

For MS Reinsurance, a legacy shared Workday set-up with the MS Amlin group meant that the system was not fit for purpose and became a significant barrier to operational excellence. To regain strategic control, MS Reinsurance needed more than just a new tenant, they needed a total system “clean break”. In this session, MS Reinsurance and Deloitte reveal their blueprint for a 5-month tenant carveout, covering 350 employees, 5 countries and 11 modules. We will explore the methodology used to clone functional configuration, integrations, and reports into a pristine, compliant, and independent environment – with minimal business impact.

As organizations transition to strategic AI platforms, the challenge often lies in moving beyond the automation of simple tasks to a comprehensive transformation of work. This workshop provides a structured approach to create a Workday-centered AI roadmap. By deconstructing job profiles into granular tasks and mapping them against Work Intelligence capabilities, participants will learn how to identify high-impact automation opportunities for a hybrid human-AI workforce.

Lynda Taumann-Yrisarry, Sr Principal Managing Partner at Workday, will be joined by Martin Barner-Olsen, Head of Sandoz EX & HR Transformation, who will share valuable insights as a strategic Workday customer. Deval Patel, Principal Product Manager from Workday, will demonstrate the Work Intelligence capabilities for the Future of Work.
