Outsmart 2026

Today’s workforce and HR leaders face a paradox: they have more data and more tools than ever, yet coordinating strategy across the enterprise remains elusive and difficult to measure. HR analytics teams surface insights that never reach decision-makers. Plans are built in isolation from the intelligence that should inform them. Programs launch without clear connections to business outcomes.

This fragmentation isn’t just inefficient, it’s dangerous in an era when AI is reshaping every role, skill, and team dynamic. Organizations that can’t connect workforce intelligence to coordinated execution will fall behind those that can.

Outsmart 2026 addresses this challenge head on, with keynotes designed to bridge two critical dimensions: the human systems that drive organizational performance, and the AI capabilities that can amplify them. Cassie Kozyrkov, the founder of Decision Intelligence and Google’s first Chief Decision Scientist, and Keith Ferrazzi, #1 Workplace Transformation Expert and New York Times bestselling author of Never Eat Alone and Never Lead Alone, will deliver keynote addresses at the conference, April 23–24 in Palm Springs, California.
