Shaping Culture, Capability and Competitive Advantage in the Agentic Era

As AI evolves from assistant to autonomous collaborator, CHROs are entering a defining era of leadership.

At CHRO Singapore 2026, over 200 senior HR and business leaders will come together to explore how organizations can build adaptive, high-performing and deeply human workplaces in an age of constant disruption. Expect bold conversations, practical case studies and actionable strategies on the future of work, AI-powered people ecosystems, next-generation talent strategies and culture transformation.

DAY 2: CHRO WORKSHOP AGENDA

Owning the AI Transformation Agenda

Date: 10th October 2025
Time: 9am to 5pm
Facilitator: Dominique Rose Van-Winther, CEO & Chief AI Evangelist - Final Upgrade AI
Today’s AI transformation is less about tech and more about people, culture, and change. The best tech in the world will not create results if the workforce is not engaged with it. That is why HR belongs in the driver’s seat of what is fundamentally the biggest and fastest workforce transformation of our time. As the stewards of culture, the success of AI depends on how you shape that culture and drive change. This workshop is built to equip you to lead your organization, demonstrating how AI-empowered talent can create a lasting competitive edge in volatile markets and times of transformation.

Key objectives:
  • Equip HR leaders to drive the biggest workforce transformation of our time, using AI as the catalyst for lasting cultural and operational change
  • Focus on what delivers AI-powered results, with hands-on activities and real-world examples that cut through the theory
  • Learn how to embed AI into daily habits, processes, and decision-making so change sticks and drives measurable business impact
  • Exchange lessons with peers on what’s working, what’s failing, and how different industries are approaching AI adoption
  • Drive HR’s own transformation, turning the function into a living example of AI-powered efficiency, innovation, and service excellence
  • Leave with a practical, step-by-step roadmap for rolling out AI initiatives, from setting clear policies to building champions and creating organization-wide readiness

Dr. Bryan Lim

Managing Director, Head of Group Talent & Development – United Overseas Bank Limited
Bio

Bryan is a dynamic people development and transformation practitioner with deep experience across capability development, change management, and innovation. His work spans the strategic to the practical end of capability building, including the design of change initiatives, leadership and core skilling programmes, and enterprise learning systems that materially change how people learn and work.

Since joining UOB in 2012, Bryan has led several large‑scale transformation efforts covering culture building and skills adoption, leadership development, performance management, and AI‑enabled innovation. He has been closely involved in translating enterprise priorities into change initiatives, leadership actions, and learning interventions that can be deployed and sustained at scale.

Bringing with him a strong focus on strategic problem-solving, execution discipline, governance, and applied learning, Bryan is particularly interested in understanding why well‑intended capability investments often fail to shift behaviour – and what needs to be designed differently to drive adoption, accountability, and measurable outcomes. His work consistently bridges strategy, people, and operating realities to ensure change efforts move beyond intent into day‑to‑day practice and business impact.

Bryan holds a Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Canberra, a Master of Business Administration (Distinction) from the University of Birmingham, and a Bachelor of Business (Honours) from Nanyang Technological University.
