The expanding role of the CHRO

Shape strategy alongside the CEO and executive team.

Leading beyond the HR function

As organizations navigate ongoing disruption, including advances in AI and technology, the CHRO role continues to expand. Beyond leading HR, CHROs are expected to influence strategy, guide leaders through uncertainty, and shape decisions that affect the entire organization.

Gartner HR Symposium/Xpo explores how CHROs are evolving their leadership approach, strengthening executive relationships and positioning HR as a core driver of business performance.

75%

of CHROs believe leadership and people management capabilities will become more important as AI is integrated into business practices.

Top challenges we’ll help you address:

  • Positioning the CHRO as a strategic partner in enterprise AI decisions

  • Strengthening CEO, board and C‑suite alignment on workforce priorities

  • Balancing employee advocacy with business performance expectations

  • Influencing decisions beyond HR without direct authority

  • Leading through ambiguity and competing stakeholder demands

  • Demonstrating HR’s value in enterprisewide outcomes
