Building on the Q&A, this roundtable creates a practical space for senior HR leaders to step back and examine how they are allocating time, budget, and attention across an increasingly complex set of priorities. As expectations of the people function expand, but resources remain constrained, the ability to make clear, conscious trade-offs becomes a defining leadership capability.

This is a candid, peer-driven discussion focused on what to stop, what to double down on, and how to ensure HR effort is aligned to what truly moves the business forward.

• Where is your HR function currently over-investing relative to the impact it delivers, and why is it hard to pull back?
• What critical people priorities are being under-served today due to capacity constraints or competing demands?
• How do you create the discipline, governance, and leadership alignment needed to say “no” to lower-value activity?
• What does a genuinely focused, high-impact HR agenda look like in your organization over the next 12–18 months?
