About the Webinar Series
AI is reshaping the workplace — but the questions it raises are fundamentally human ones.
In this 3-part webinar series on leading AI transformation, researchers and practitioners examine what the rise of AI reveals about leadership, relationships, and the social dynamics that make organizations work. Each session draws on our perspectives on human–AI leadership to offer practical insights for navigating this moment.
Join us in this webinar series to learn what our research reveals about how to lead AI transformation — and why the questions AI raises are the ones organizational leaders have always needed to answer.
What Organizations Get Wrong About AI Leadership
Thursday, April 30 | 11:00 am EDT | 5:00 pm CET | Register Now
Most AI conversations focus on technology. This one focuses on the harder problem: the people leading it.
In this fast-paced webinar, researchers and practitioners each take 5–7 minutes to deliver one sharp, evidence-grounded argument about what AI transformation actually requires of leaders — followed by open reaction and Q&A. The result is clarity over consensus: distinct takes that challenge what most organizations think they know.
You’ll leave with 3 unique, actionable arguments you can take back into your organization — not a single averaged-out perspective that loses its edge in translation.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Spot where AI initiatives stall because of leadership — not technology — and the tensions it creates for leaders
- Rethink what your leaders need to do differently in leading AI transformation and protecting the value of your AI investments
- Apply 3 distinct, research-based perspectives to the AI decisions your organization is facing right now
How Organizations & Leaders Can Build the Human Connections AI Can’t Replace
Thursday, May 21 11:00 am EDT | 5:00 pm CET | Register Now
Every AI conversation includes a version of the same promise: that as automation accelerates, uniquely human qualities will matter even more. Most senior leaders believe it. And yet, the employee experience keeps pointing in the opposite direction — more efficiency, but less connection; faster coordination, but weaker alignment.
The gap isn’t a morale problem or a hybrid work problem. It’s structural.
The interactions that build and maintain relationships once replenished themselves naturally. That’s no longer the environment most organizations are operating in. In this webinar on how AI transformation affects leaders and organizations, researchers and practitioners explore what it takes to close that gap — and what development looks like when it’s designed for strengthening the space between people.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What it takes to build the relational infrastructure that makes leadership possible when the conditions that once sustained it naturally no longer exist
- Why the erosion of connection is a structural design problem — not a culture problem — and why that distinction changes what organizations need to do in response
- The 3 interconnected pathways through which leadership development rebuilds what AI and distributed work erode
- Why most leadership development misses the mark — and what changes when the unit of development shifts from the individual to the space between people
- What it looks like in practice when organizations design for collective relational capacity rather than individual skill-building — and how that plays out in the real world
- What L&D leaders can do now to start building relational infrastructure deliberately, without waiting for a fully formed organizational strategy to take shape
You Can’t Develop What You Can’t Measure: How AI & Conversation Data Reveals What Senior Leaders Actually Do
Thursday, June 18 at 11:00 am EDT | 5:00 pm CET | Register Now
Development without accurate assessment is just guesswork. In this session, researcher Andy Loignon unpacks what our HiFi Conversation Analytics™ tool makes newly measurable in senior leader behavior — the patterns, gaps, and opportunities that traditional tools miss.
But measurement alone doesn’t create change: the most powerful developmental insights sit at the intersection of rigorous measurement and human judgment. HiFi is built on a human-in-the-loop model: the AI captures behavioral data; facilitators and peers do the interpretive work that turns data into development. Andy walks through what that looks like in practice — and what it reveals when an organization applies its own stated principles about AI and human judgment to its development work.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why data about convbehaviors it captures predict influence more reliably than formal authority
- How CCL integrated AI into a senior leadership program — the design decisions, the tradeoffs, and where human expertise had to lead
- Why the data alone isn’t enough: how facilitators use behavioral insight to surface the conversations leaders need to have
- What a human-in-the-loop assessment model looks like in practice — and what it means for how organizations think about AI-assisted development
