Practical conversations on how leaders prepare their people, systems, and operations for a business environment reshaped by AI, automation, and modern workforce technology. Grounded, educational, and platform agnostic — no hype.
Operating in the AI Era explores how owners, executives, operators, and frontline teams are adapting for a changing business environment. Rob talks with the people who do the work — payroll consultants, project managers, integration developers, HCM professionals, and business owners — to surface what companies should understand before they modernize systems, automate workflows, or adopt AI tools.
Rob speaks from 30+ years at the intersection of business leadership, workforce operations, HCM systems, payroll, time, integrations, and AI readiness. His sessions help leaders know the practical questions to ask before they buy tools, change systems, automate processes, or expect AI to solve operational problems. The focus is readiness over hype: what to fix, what to ask, and what to avoid.
Each session is practical and tailored to the audience — CEO groups, HR and payroll teams, partner webinars, roundtables, or internal leadership.
Leaders feel pressure to adopt AI without a clear way to judge readiness. Attendees leave with a practical checklist for assessing people, data, processes, and systems before they invest.
Automating a broken process just makes the mess faster. This session covers how to spot the process, data, and ownership gaps that quietly undermine new tools — and how to address them first.
Teams treat a new HCM system as a software purchase and are surprised when go-live is painful. Attendees learn why these are operational changes and how to scope them accordingly.
Employees, consultants, and technical teams often see risks and opportunities executives miss. This session shares what those closest to the work reveal about adopting technology well.
Rob is sitting down with the operators, consultants, and technical teams behind real workforce technology projects to capture lessons executives can use.
