Paul Rubenstein @ Visier: Why HR Must Rethink Work in the Age of AI (Live @ Unleash 2026)
At UNLEASH 2026, Adam sits down with Paul Rubenstein of Visier for a masterclass on the past, present, and future of HR—and why this moment in time is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Drawing on a 20+ year career spanning consulting, HR leadership, and now evangelism, Paul walks through the full evolution of HR—from industrial labor optimization to personnel management, to the rise of systems and shared services, and now into the age of AI-driven decision making. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a reframing. Paul makes the case that AI is not just another layer of technology—it’s fundamentally changing how decisions get made, how systems talk to each other, and how organizations must think about work itself. The future isn’t about people-to-systems anymore—it’s systems-to-systems, powered by clean, connected, and contextual data.
The conversation explores the promise and pitfalls of AI in HR, the danger of “shiny object syndrome,” and why the real skill gap isn’t learning new tools—it’s learning how to deconstruct and redesign work itself. This is a thoughtful, big-picture conversation that slows the moment down—so leaders can better understand where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed next.
