The New Engagement Equation™: How HR Can Align People and AI to Impact Performance and Resilience. 

That is the title of in-person presentations that focus on making executives and business leaders aware of the challenges they face in the implementation of technology into an organization that already is faced with employee disengagement and lack of trust for their leaders. The presentation is generally customized for the specific needs of the audience, The presentation lasts for about 60 minutes including 10 minutes for questions and answers.

 AI is rewriting the rules of work — and HR is now on the frontlines of one of the most critical decisions every organization must make: Will we use AI to empower our people, or accidentally push them away?

In this bold and practical session, executive speaker and former manufacturing and engineering leader Richard Gunderson reveals how disengagement has become the hidden risk in digital transformation — and how HR can lead the charge to reverse it. Grounded in real-world case studies, this session introduces a new blueprint for AI-aligned engagement that prioritizes trust, inclusion, and growth at every stage of the transformation journey.

 This session equips HR professionals with actionable tools, language, and leadership strategies to ensure AI adoption accelerates — not erodes — business performance. Because in the age of automation, engagement isn’t optional. It’s your competitive edge.
