Kyle Roed, CHRO at CPM Holdings, joins host Barb Bidan to make the case that agentic AI is an HR function, not an IT project. Kyle shares the hackathon moment that convinced him instructing an AI agent is the same discipline as writing a job description, why \"AI is the next email\" and the tech-belongs-to-IT argument falls apart, and the two path playbook he uses at a global manufacturer: AI-generated SOPs that multiply team capacity, and a role-redesign question asked at every backfill. He also breaks down how to build an AI governance team with one senior champion and one deliberately recruited naysayer. For CHROs and senior HR leaders who want to lead the future of work instead of watching it happen.\n\nChapters\n00:00 Introduction and meet Kyle Roed\n02:45 From IT and bartending to HR leadership\n04:45 Why HR must know the business\n06:55 The hackathon light bulb: AI as an HR function\n09:00 AI is the next email\n11:45 Disrupting HR and the HR renaissance\n14:00 Compliance without fear\n17:05 The two path playbook: SOPs and backfills\n20:00 One champion, one naysayer: AI governance\n27:15 Lightning round: the compliance GPT\n\nTakeaways\n- Building an AI agent is the same discipline as writing a job description, which is why agentic AI belongs in HR's domain\n- AI is the next email: everyone will use it, so IT should advise on capability and safety while the business defines what needs to get done\n- Start with work bottlenecks, like AI-generated SOPs that free people from documentation and multiply what existing teams deliver\n- Treat every backfill as a chance to redesign the role by asking what aspects of it AI could take on before rehiring\n- AI governance works best with one senior champion and one deliberately recruited naysayer who keeps the committee honest\n\nConnect with the Guest\nKyle Roed LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-roed/\nCompany Website: https://onecpm.com\n\nSponsor\nWisq is...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/wSIM9OmCufT8YpGEujarJtAuPaEl6gUX3MEhrYkOqWs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NzE0/YmEwNTBhMjA4NDk1/NTViOTczNmY3Yjlj/MmVmNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
