Senovis backs Psychological Safety Week and brings AI expert Ethan Mollick to senior HR leaders
AI is changing how work gets done, and HR is now central to how organisations respond. Senovis has confirmed its Silver Sponsorship of the first Psychological Safety Week and is opening a special Inside Track session: "How AI is Rewriting Organizational DNA" on 25 September (online).
The 90-minute event features Ethan Mollick-named by TIME as one of the most influential people in AI and a Professor at The Wharton School-plus an expert panel. It's a practical forum built for CHROs and senior HR leaders.
Why this matters to CHROs now
Boards are asking HR to lead on AI adoption, workforce design, succession planning, and governance. Psychological safety is the make-or-break factor for every AI rollout.
Evidence shows 78% of organisations are piloting AI tools (McKinsey, 2025), yet few have integrated AI into strategic workforce design. That gap is where HR must lead-linking pilots to structure, skills, policies, and trust.
Inside Track: How AI is Rewriting Organizational DNA
Date: Thursday 25 September 2025
Time: 11:15am - 1:00pm UK BST (online)
Confirmed Speakers: Ethan Mollick (The Wharton School), Katie Obi (CPO, OneAdvanced). More speakers to be announced.
- Turn AI pilots into operating models: roles, org structure, and governance that actually stick.
- Build psychological safety so teams speak up, test, and improve AI workflows without fear.
- Refresh succession and capability plans for AI-augmented roles.
- Adoption metrics that balance productivity, trust, and inclusion.
As Derek McKay, CEO of Senovis, puts it: AI, DEE&I, and succession shouldn't sit on the side-they are now core drivers of competitiveness. HR leaders need fast, evidence-based decisions backed by real expertise.
Professor Binna Kandola, Co-Founder and Senior Partner at Pearn Kandola, adds: AI changes how people experience work and increases uncertainty. Without psychological safety, trust, and inclusive leadership, even strong AI initiatives will stall.
