Kokoon Future of Work Series: Future Proofing Teams in an AI World
Kokoon Future of Work is a new series for HR leaders, team managers, and anyone shaping the future of work.
Episode 1: Future-Proofing Teams in an AI World
We're kicking things off with one of the biggest topics reshaping work right now: AI.
In this session, we’ll get into the practical realities and strategic questions around how AI is changing the way teams are managed, supported and assessed, and what HR and managers each need to be thinking about.
We’ll cover:
👉 What belongs in your AI stack (and what doesn’t) from HR to line management
👉 Managers and HR: who’s leading the charge on AI adoption?
👉 Rolling out AI without leaving people behind, especially junior hires
👉 The myth (or not) of AI replacing us.
👉 Performance management in the AI era
Expect honest opinions, practical frameworks and examples you can take back to your team. We’ll also have time for live Q&A to dig into the issues that matter most to you.
Your hosts:
Mandeep Bajwa is an accomplished People and Organisation Design leader with over 20 years of experience helping businesses navigate complexity, scale, and transformation. Her career spans a series of high-growth, high-pressure environments, mostly from PE-backed scaleups to large global businesses, where change wasn’t a concept, it was a constant. She’s held senior HR and People leadership roles at companies that have lived through some of the most significant shifts in recent years (Gett, Stuart, WeWork). She doesn’t just talk about change, she’s lived it, led it, and helped others survive and thrive through it.
Alice Ivanoff is the Co-Founder of Kokoon, an AI manager helping Gen Z ramp up faster, stay focused, and thrive at work, while reducing the burden on managers. She brings over a decade of experience from Amazon, WeWork, and startups, where she led strategy, operations, and social impact programs.
