Hey there,

This year’s HR Playbook 3.0 is about cutting through the noise and having honest conversations—about the structures we outgrow, the cultures we inherit, and the leadership we wish we had.

On July 16, we’ll gather with those who’ve coached through crisis, scaled chaos, and rewired organizations from the inside out.

This is not a play-it-safe event. It’s a room for real operators driving change—quietly, consistently.

🕵🏽‍♀️Inside the Playbook: What’s Actually Happening

🔥 12:00 PM: Let the Org Chart Burn: Reimagining HR Structures for Speed, Autonomy & Chaos

We’re kicking things off with a no-holds-barred panel on what HR structure should actually look like in 2025. When hierarchy slows you down, what comes next? Hear from operators who’ve built leaner, faster, human-first orgs from the ground up.

🤖 3:30: Agentic AI in HR: What Co-Leading With Machines Can Look Like

AI isn’t coming. It’s here. And it’s not about replacing humans—it’s about co-leading.
We’ll look at how AI is already shaping HR and how to lead with it, not just around it.

🧠 4:30: Masterclass: AI for HR

A deep dive into practical ways HR pros can leverage AI tools—from workflow automation to employee engagement, learning, and policy writing.
You’ll leave with frameworks, not fluff.

This isn’t your typical HR event. It’s a working room for people leading change from the inside out—people who’ve traded playbooks for real-world practice. If you're rethinking structure, shaping culture, or building better systems, this is your room.

Real talk. Real tactics. Real people.
We’d love to see you there.

Cheers,

TSOW Team
