Data in Motion – AI's Role in Delivering Always-On Talent Intelligence

This session highlights how AI transforms workforce data from a static asset into a dynamic, continuously evolving resource. In the past, building the data foundations for talent intelligence required months of manual effort often delaying outcomes or halting projects entirely. Now, AI can automate much of that heavy lifting, enabling faster analysis, integration, and ongoing updates without the traditional data overhead. The City of Sydney is adopting this model to launch a skills-based talent intelligence system in weeks, not months. The result is a living view of workforce capability that keeps pace with change and supports faster, more informed decision-making in an unpredictable labour market.

Chris Youness, Chief People and Culture Officer, City of Sydney
