Leaders or Algorithms?
Leadership Is Human. So Why Are Leaders Behaving Like Algorithms?
HR Leadership Conclave | PCU Pune
Invite-only HR Leadership Conclave curated by BeingHR in collaboration with Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU),
Pune. Designed as a closed-door leadership experience, this conclave brings together 100 senior HR leaders
( CHROs and Head HRs ) to engage in honest, peer-level conversations on how AI, data, and algorithms are
reshaping leadership and people decisions. Every leader in the room is a contributor.
Not a conference | No keynote speeches | No external audience
KEY EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS
1. Leadership Circles - Leaders engage in structured discussions across curated themes such as:
Human judgment vs algorithmic decisions
Ethics of AI in HR
Performance beyond metrics
Empathy, trust, and leadership courage
Each leader actively participates and contributes insights.
2. Human vs Machine – Live Role Play
A powerful role-play experience by Soham Dadarkar Academy (Ali G & Team) brings real workplace
dilemmas to life, enabling leaders to:
Observe leadership behaviour in action
Reflect on emotional and ethical dimensions
Experience the contrast between algorithm-led and human-led leadership
3. Student Leadership Fellowship (Unique Element) - Selected PCU students participate as Leadership
Fellows, observing and documenting leadership conversations live.

leadership challenges.Leadership After Dark

WHY THIS CONCLAVE MATTERS?
Technology is influencing critical people decisions across organisations:
Hiring and promotions
Performance management
Workforce restructuring
Culture and engagement
While AI brings efficiency and scale, it also raises important leadership questions:
Are leaders outsourcing judgment to dashboards?
Is empathy being replaced by efficiency?
Where does human accountability begin and end?
Leaders or Algorithms create a rare space to Pause, Reflect, Debate, and Redefine leadership in an AI-driven world.
This conclave follows a conversation-first, experience-led format:
Leadership Circles with peer-level discussions
Small-group dialogues on critical leadership themes
Cross-pollination of perspectives through table rotations
Live Human vs Machine role-play experience
Reflection-led closure and informal networking
