UWLA SOB Faculty, Dr. Thatch's Cengage Conference Session

Algorithmic Organizations: AI in HR and Development Practice

In this session, Dr. Thatch will examine AI as an organizational development challenge rather than just an HR technology trend. Drawing on 25+ years of applied HR and OD experience, she will share a framework for evaluating, piloting, and scaling AI-enabled HR systems, covering:
  • Where AI tools intersect with existing systems and workflows
  • The change-leadership demands of AI adoption
  • Governance that keeps AI-driven workforce decisions auditable and defensible
Dr. Thatch's presentation will be conducted on Friday 11/13/26 at 10:00 AM
