Growing Nowhere? Something Has to Give

Growing Nowhere? Something Has to Give

Korn Ferry CHRO Roundtable Series

​
October 22, 2026
​
5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
​
The Capital Grille - 633 N Saint Clair St, Chicago, IL 60611

Why Attend

Grow the business. Cut the cost. Prove the AI is worth it. All at once, with the same number of people you had last year.
 
Korn Ferry's Workforce 2026 research shows where that's already breaking: people doing more than one job, "efficiency" that never shows up as performance, AI adding to the pile instead of clearing it.
 
Join a small group of CHROs and senior people leaders for dinner and a real conversation about what to do next, not another round of cuts, but a different way of deciding what work actually matters.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Talk through where your own math is breaking, and where it's holding
  • Look at where AI is actually changing work, and where it's just piling on
  • Talk through how roles and skills need to change as the work does
  • Compare notes with peers stuck in the same bind
  • Figure out what it actually takes to turn this around, without rebuilding the cost you just took out

Agenda:

  • 5:30 p.m. Welcome Reception & Networking
  • 6:00 p.m. Dinner, Talent Analytics Insights & Peer Discussion
  • 8:30 p.m. Adjourn
