How HR Can Lead AI and Workforce Transformation Across the Enterprise

Digital HR Leaders with David Green

Show Notes

How do you bring AI into an organisation without losing what's made it work for 150 years?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Eric Dozier, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at Eli Lilly, to explore what it takes for HR to lead AI and workforce transformation at enterprise scale.

Join them, as they discuss:

Why HR has to transform twice over in the AI era, first as a function, then as an organisation What prompted Lilly's AI journey, and how the friction points that came up shaped the approach going forward How the role of the manager is changing as AI becomes part of everyday work What separates AI capability from simply increased AI usage The principles guiding Lilly's approach to responsible AI, including where it supports leadership judgement and where it shouldn't How employee feedback has reshaped Lilly's AI strategy, and what Eric believes HR leaders should prioritise as they lead their own transformations

As AI reshapes work, the people function has an opportunity to play a much bigger role in how organisations navigate the transformation. At Snowflake, that starts with trusted data, strong people analytics and a clear view of what technology should automate, where it should augment human capability, and what should remain human.
