SUMMARY:Chief of Staff to the CHRO: Inside HR's newest strategic role
DESCRIPTION:Join this meetup to think critically about the CHRO Chief of Staff role — what it can unlock\, what it can complicate\, and what it reveals about how People functions are really led. \n\n\n\nIs the People function becoming too complex for the CHRO to lead alone? \nAs HR agendas become broader\, faster and more business-critical\, a new role is emerging around senior People leaders: the Chief of Staff to the CHRO. \nSometimes seen as a strategic force multiplier\, sometimes mistaken for a senior EA\, and sometimes operating as the hidden engine behind the CHRO agenda\, the role is becoming one of the most interesting — and least understood — positions in modern HR. \nIn this meetup\, we’ll move beyond the job title to examine what the Chief of Staff to the CHRO actually does in practice\, and what it reveals about the way modern People functions are led. \nWe’ll be joined by two leaders who know the role from the inside: \n\nJuleah Szopo\, Chief of Staff to the CHRO at Netflix\nMark Chamberlain\, former Chief of Staff to the CHRO at BT Group\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore where the role creates real strategic value\, where it can become unclear or overextended\, and what senior HR leaders should think about before introducing\, shaping or relying on a CoS role in their own organisation. \nThis is not a case for or against the CHRO Chief of Staff. It is a critical conversation about leadership capacity\, strategic execution\, governance\, influence and accountability inside the People function. \nBecause not every CHRO needs a CoS. \nIn some organisations\, the role is a sign of maturity\, focus and strategic ambition. In others\, it may be a workaround for unclear priorities\, slow decision-making\, bloated governance or an overwhelmed leadership team. \nAnd in many cases\, the person with the most influence on the People agenda may not be the person with the most visible title. \nThis conversation is for senior HR leaders who want to examine how People functions really operate\, how strategy gets translated into action\, and whether the CHRO Chief of Staff role creates clarity\, pace and impact\, or simply adds another layer. \nWe’ll explore…\n\nIs the CoS a strategic operator\, culture translator\, execution engine or executive comfort blanket?\nShould every CHRO have one\, or only the ones facing a specific leadership or execution challenge?\nHow much influence should a CoS have without formal ownership?\nHow does the role connect the People agenda to business strategy\, decision-making and delivery?\nWhat does great look like\, and how should impact be measured?\nWhere can the role blur accountability\, duplicate governance or mask deeper operating model issues?\nWhy might the best Chief of Staff talent not come from HR at all?\n\nYou’ll leave with…\n\nA clearer view of what the CHRO Chief of Staff role is\, and what it is not\nHonest insight into the problems the role can solve\, and the problems it might accidentally hide\nPractical reflections on whether your People function could benefit from a Chief of Staff role\nA sharper understanding of how the role can connect HR priorities to business strategy and execution\nPeer perspectives from leaders who have lived the role in complex\, high-profile organisations\nBetter questions to challenge how your own People leadership team operates\n\nWho should attend\nThis session is designed for CHROs\, Chiefs of Staff\, senior HR leaders and People executives working inside organisations. \nTo protect the quality and relevance of the conversation\, priority will be given to in-house People and HR leaders. \nIt is for those thinking seriously about the future shape of the People function\, and whether the way HR is led today is fit for what the business needs next. \nMore about the speakers\nJuleah Szopo\nChief of Staff to the CHRO\nat Netflix \nJuleah Szopo is Chief of Staff to the CHRO at Netflix\, working close to the People leadership priorities that shape talent\, culture and organisational effectiveness inside one of the world’s most recognised entertainment companies. \nIn this role\, Juleah sits at the centre of complex\, high-impact work across the People function – helping connect leadership alignment\, strategic execution and organisational insight as Netflix continues to understand\, maintain and evolve its high-performance culture\, strong talent philosophy and unconventional approach \nHer work brings together a rare combination of perspectives across culture\, talent\, people analytics\, learning\, organisational development and employee experience. She has played a key role in shaping how Netflix develops talent\, strengthens leadership and enables effective teams and organisations at scale. \nWith experience across high tech\, entertainment\, financial services and energy\, Juleah brings a broad\, strategic view of what it takes to make People strategy work in practice inside fast-moving\, global organisations. \nMark Chamberlain\nFormer Chief of Staff to the CHRO\nat BT Group \nMark Chamberlain is a Chief of Staff and transformation leader with deep experience operating at the intersection of people\, operating model design\, technology and organisational change. \nDuring almost nine years at BT Group\, Mark played a central role in major transformation work across one of the UK’s most complex enterprise environments. His work brought together HR operating model change\, AI-enabled service optimisation\, governance\, leadership alignment\, cost transformation and the practical mechanisms needed to make change executable. \nAt BT\, Mark helped connect People strategy with operational reality – building the rhythms\, decision rights\, dashboards and governance that enabled senior leaders to move from ambition to execution. His perspective is shaped by the often invisible work behind transformation: aligning competing priorities\, strengthening executive capability\, surfacing organisational tension early and building the capability for change to keep delivering beyond the programme itself. \nMark brings a rare enterprise view of what it takes to modernise HR at scale: not just redesigning structures\, but creating the leadership discipline\, operating system and organisational muscle needed for complex transformation to land in practice.

SUMMARY:From AI overwhelm to a clear HR roadmap
DESCRIPTION:Many organisations get stuck between inspiration and implementation. They collect great ideas for AI in HR\, but struggle to decide which ones to do first\, what’s realistic\, and how to turn those ideas into tangible value. \nThis hands-on\, simulation-style workshop is designed for modern HR leaders who want to move from “AI sounds exciting” to “we have a prioritised plan we believe in”. \n  \nWhy this matters now\nAI in HR is moving fast. Ideas are everywhere—chatbots for recruitment\, automated onboarding\, personalised learning\, predictive analytics—but turning those ideas into value is harder than it looks. \nMany HR professionals feel: \nOverwhelmed by the sheer number of AI possibilities being discussed inside and outside their organisation. \nUnsure about what each AI initiative actually requires in terms of data\, skills\, budget\, and organisational readiness. \nFrustrated when leadership wants quick wins but the priorities aren’t clear. \nLeft out of the deeper conversations because the language and methods for AI planning feel overly technical. \nWithout a clear way to evaluate and prioritise initiatives\, the risk is that resources get spread too thin\, or that you start with the “shiny” projects instead of the ones that create real impact. \nThis workshop gives you a calm\, structured\, and human-centred approach to cut through the noise—so you can confidently move from “great ideas” to a clear\, prioritised path forward for AI in HR. \n  \nWhat you’ll do in the workshop\nIn this live\, virtual workshop\, you’ll join a small group of peers and: \n\nExplore realistic AI development options in HR (via ready-made scenario cards)\nDiscuss the impact\, effort\, and essential enablers for each initiative\nApply simple but powerful prioritisation techniques to decide what matters most\nSequence initiatives into a practical release plan\n\nYou’ll work in small breakout groups (3 people) inside Miro (an Agile tool we use)\, guided by an experienced facilitator\, so you can practise decision-making in a safe\, engaging environment. \n  \nWhat you’ll walk away with\nA repeatable method for turning AI-in-HR ideas into a prioritised action plan \nA clearer understanding of the factors that make or break AI success in HR \nPractical experience you can adapt immediately to your own HR–IT discussions \nConfidence to lead the conversation on AI investment and value delivery \n\n  \nWhat participants have said about the workshop…\n“At a time when there are countless opportunities to use AI tools\, this workshop created valuable space to pause and think clearly. It helped me focus on looking to build a logical\, end‑to‑end roadmap for implementing AI in a structured and sustainable way.” \n– Heidi Khoshtaghaza-Hay\, Group HR Director at Bellway Homes \n“I genuinely don’t think we’d be able to execute our upcoming AI plans without this workshop! It’s given us a much needed blueprint for success.” \n– Hannah Knight\, People Projects Manager \n  \nWho this is for\n\nHR leaders and managers\nHRBPs and L&D professionals\nHR tech and process owners\nUnfortunately\, this is not open to Consultants yet\n\nPerfect for those towards the beginning of their AI in HR journey\, this session gives you a strategic\, human-centred way to decide what to do first—and why. \n  \nYour facilitator\nRiina Hellström – Founder of Agile HR Community \nA strategic HR leader with deep expertise in Agile HR\, AI readiness\, and organisational change. Known for making complex topics practical\, engaging\, and actionable. Riina is also co-author of Agile HR: Deliver value in a changing world of work. \n  \nDetails\n\nDate/Time: 22nd October 2026 at 4pm (GMT)\nDuration: 2.5 hours\nFormat: Live virtual session on Zoom with Miro (link provided after registration)\nPre-work: Brief list of AI initiative examples to review before the session\nPrice: €80 per person + VAT\n\nSeats are limited to keep groups small. Reserve your place now and walk away with a strategic tool you can use the very next day. \n  \nTerms and Conditions. This workshop is for HR leaders and professionals working inside organisations (not external consultants). Bookings are non-refundable. Places are offered on a first-come\, first-served basis.
