HR Is Already Using AI.
The Question Is Whether HR Is Ready for It.
AI didn't arrive through procurement. It showed up through browsers, shortcuts, plug-ins — and "just trying something real quick."
Now HR is expected to keep it compliant, ethical, human, and moving — all at once. That's a lot to carry without a clear map.
The Quiet HR Reality
Most organizations are already using AI in HR — without a formal strategy.
AI is moving faster than policy, training, and structure.
And HR is left holding the accountability.
Why This Lands on HR
(Not IT)
AI in HR doesn't just touch systems.
It touches people.
Hiring decisions
Promotion pathways
Performance evaluations
Employee trust
Legal exposure
When AI is used without clarity, bias increases, transparency decreases, and compliance becomes reactive.
This isn't coming. It's here.
The Real Gap Isn't Technology
It's Readiness
Most HR teams don't need more tools. They need alignment across five areas.
Technology & Systems
What you actually have vs. what AI requires
Data & Governance
Bias, audits, compliance, accountability
Workforce & Skills
AI literacy, confidence, training
Strategy & Change
Ownership, alignment, decision clarity
Talent Processes
Recruiting, L&D, performance management
When even one of these is out of sync, AI adoption stalls — or creates risk.
That's the gap we help you see.
Start With Clarity
Before rolling out another tool.
Before rewriting another policy. Before asking your team to "just learn AI." You assess.
The Human + AI Readiness Assessment
Designed specifically for HR and People leaders. It shows you:
- Where AI is already impacting HR decisions
- Where governance and compliance gaps may exist
- Where your team feels confident — and where they don't
- What to prioritize first (and what not to touch yet)
"Leaders tell us it doesn't feel like an assessment. It feels like relief."
From Insight to Action
Some leaders want the data.
Others want to talk it through with people who get it.
Human + AI Experiential Dinners
Intimate, curated gatherings for HR executives ready to move from awareness to action — without panic, hype, or overwhelm.
You'll leave with:
- A shared Human + AI language
- Real examples of what's working (and quietly failing)
- A practical system and next-step plan
Yes, there's strategy.
Yes, there's structure.
And yes — there's very good food.
Why We Built Human + AI Together
Because AI overwhelm doesn't mean people aren't capable.
It usually means they're thinking alone.
In our individual careers, we both recognized something very quickly: when AI feels overwhelming, even the most capable leaders shut down.
Not because they don't care. Not because they're behind. But because the conversation around AI is often abstract, fast, and isolating.
So we designed something different.
We created experiential dinners where leaders bring their real gaps — in their business, their teams, and their markets. We come prepared with frameworks and practical processes, then open the room for honest conversation.
Leaders learn how to think, test, and prompt together. They learn from one another. They leave with clarity — not homework.
Different backgrounds.
Shared curiosity.
Collaboration just made sense.
Meet the Founders

With a background in enterprise sales strategy, brand management, and director-level marketing leadership, plus over a decade of executive coaching, she's worked with hundreds of founders, executives, and teams navigating growth and transformation.
