What they’re saying

“AI has moved from experimentation to execution. We're calling this the Year of Progression because organizations are no longer asking whether to adopt AI, they're advancing along a clear maturity path. Our research shows AI is already embedded in systems like performance management and employee development. The real advantage now belongs to leaders who intentionally design human-AI collaboration and treat progression as their operating model.”

— Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group

“Progression is about readiness, not hype. Organizations don't stall because they lack tools, they stall because they lack alignment. The AI Progression Model gives leaders a practical way to assess where they stand across governance, people, process, technology, and organizational adaptability. When AI is treated as a strategic capability rather than a collection of pilots, sustainable transformation becomes achievable.”

— Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer at Brandon Hall Group

What’s next

The AI in HR Summit on October 15, 2026, at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) will bring together business, HR, learning, talent, and technology leaders to explore real-world AI applications, responsible governance, workforce readiness, and practical strategies for scaling AI with measurable impact.

The takeaway

The Transformational Impact of AI on HR, Learning and Talent magazine provides a comprehensive roadmap for organizations to move beyond AI experimentation and toward responsible, enterprise-wide AI adoption, helping leaders design human-AI collaboration and treat progression as their operating model.
