This interactive Q&A explores the intersection of coaching-led performance culture and AI-enabled development, two approaches that between them represent the most significant shift in how organizations are managing talent growth right now.

Participants will examine how these models work alongside each other, where they create tension, and what it takes to build a development culture that is genuinely coaching-first and AI-ready at the same time.

• How do you embed a coaching mindset in managers who were promoted for technical expertise, not people skills?
• What does an AI-enabled development ecosystem look like in a mid-sized biotech without enterprise-scale resources?
• How do you ensure AI-powered skills intelligence translates into different development decisions, not just better data?
• Where does the coaching-first approach and the AI-enabled approach most naturally reinforce each other, and where do they create friction?
