Keynotes, workshops, and executive sessions — tailored to your audience.

Every vendor promises their AI will transform HR. Meanwhile, your team is still wrestling with basic data quality, fragmented systems, and processes that haven’t changed since 2015.

Anita Lettink cuts through the noise. As an HR Tech and AI keynote speaker, she helps HR leaders separate genuine innovation from repackaged software—showing what actually changes when AI enters HR, and what leaders need to rethink as a result.

This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about making informed technology decisions when everyone has an agenda.

HR Technology & AI

What this keynote covers.

HR technology is evolving fast, but not every innovation delivers value. This keynotes addresses:

Getting the basics right:

  • How HR technology has evolved—and why this wave is different
  • The real differences between classic AI, automation, and generative AI
  • Where AI genuinely adds value in HR
  • Where it doesn’t—and why technology alone won’t solve strategic challenges

Strategic implications:

  • What changes for HR when AI enters decision-making
  • Data, governance, and ethical considerations leaders can’t delegate
  • Why technology investments fail when capability and culture don’t keep up
  • Connecting tech decisions to actual people strategy (not just efficiency plays)

Technology reality check:

  • How HR tech is transforming roles and responsibilities (whether you’re ready or not)
  • Practical applications of AI in HR—what works today vs. what’s still experimental
  • The limits of automation in people decisions
  • Why your vendor’s demo isn’t your implementation reality

Anita’s view comes from decades inside HR technology, payroll systems, and workforce platforms—she’s seen what breaks, what scales, and what gets oversold. Her keynote helps leaders understand what must change in behavior, governance, and capability before any AI implementation will work. Technology is the easy part. People and process design are hard.

The core insight: The biggest risk with AI in HR isn’t automation—it’s assuming technology can replace judgment, leadership, and accountability.

This keynote is about impact, not novelty.
