AI in HR:
From Experiments to Execution
Corporate Research Forum (CRF)’s new AI in HR series is built on a simple premise: the hardest part of AI in HR isn’t the technology, it’s knowing where to use it and how to create business value. HR’s role is not to become the AI expert, but to help the organisation make better decisions about work, people and performance.
This series focuses on creating value with AI, enhancing individual productivity and judgement, enabling line manager effectiveness and redesigning work and capability. It brings together live events and webinars, on-demand learning, cohort-based programmes, hackathons, practical research and articles to help HR teams move from AI experiments to execution.
To start with, read the interactive overview of CRF’s 7 Key Principles for AI in HR below. Seven principles to cut through the noise and put AI to work where it creates business value.

Making Better Decisions About AI
Custom learning for your HR team
The market is full of AI tool training. What’s scarce is judgement, knowing where to use AI and how to create business value.
CRF can bring this thinking into your organisation directly. Built on our AI in HR principles and structured around the same four themes as our public series — creating value, individual productivity and judgement, line manager effectiveness, and redesigning work and capability — a custom programme is shaped around your business priorities, context and tailored to the team you wish to develop.
