Building the Workforce of Tomorrow: People, AI Agents & Policy

Session Description

AI has touched every corner of how we work. The critical question for leadership is no longer whether to adopt it, but whether your organization will use the time it creates to build something better, or simply move faster at what you were already doing.


This session flips the typical tech-centric AI conversation on its head. Instead of starting with tool implementation, we begin with a hard truth: without proactive guardrails and governance, you risk moving incredibly fast in the wrong direction. Drawing on real-world examples from navigating AI adoption within a highly regulated environment, this session provides a practical roadmap for aligning technology with talent operations.


Ultimately, we land on what actually matters: the humans. Once AI frees up administrative capacity, the decisions you make next will define your culture, your retention, and whether your best people thrive or burn out. Combining executive business operations with frameworks pulled from his background as a college lacrosse coach, Chuck Marcelin will walk through how to manage AI adoption responsibly—ensuring technology amplifies human judgment, connection, and growth rather than replacing it.


Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Establish a governance and policy framework that allows your organization to experiment with AI safely, protecting sensitive data while building a culture where teams aren't afraid to try new tools.

  • Deploy AI to amplify human work by clearing administrative tasks, freeing your team to focus on higher-value conversations, decision-making, and growth, using practical examples from performance management, recruiting, and compensation strategy.

  • Identify the productivity trap and structure expectations so that freed-up time creates space for better work, not faster burnout, protecting your best people from being continuously overwhelmed.
