Explore the Future of Work with Visier Workforce AI at Outsmart 2026

Visier has announced that its flagship conference, Outsmart 2026, will feature keynote presentations from two influential voices in AI and workplace transformation: Cassie Kozyrkov and Keith Ferrazzi. The event will take place April 23–24, 2026, in Palm Springs.

The announcement comes as many organizations struggle to translate workforce data and strategic planning into measurable business outcomes. Despite significant investments in analytics platforms, HR technologies, and talent initiatives, companies often fail to coordinate these tools effectively. As a result, strategies stall, workforce programs fail to demonstrate impact, and organizations remain unprepared for the accelerating changes driven by artificial intelligence.

Closing the Gap Between Workforce Insight and Action

Visier’s Outsmart 2026 conference aims to address what the company calls the “coordination challenge.” HR teams frequently generate valuable insights, but those insights do not always reach decision-makers or translate into coordinated execution across the enterprise. In an era where AI is rapidly reshaping job roles, required skills, and team structures, the ability to connect workforce intelligence with real-world action has become increasingly critical.

The conference will focus on bridging this gap by combining expertise in AI-driven decision-making with practical strategies for improving organizational performance and collaboration.

Cassie Kozyrkov on Making AI Practical for Leaders

Kozyrkov, who previously served as Google’s first Chief Decision Scientist, will deliver a keynote focused on helping leaders adopt AI in practical and responsible ways. She is widely recognized for founding the discipline of Decision Intelligence, which integrates data science, behavioral economics, and management science to improve decision-making across organizations.

During her tenure at Google, Kozyrkov trained more than 20,000 employees and influenced hundreds of company initiatives as the organization transitioned toward an AI-first strategy. At Outsmart 2026, she will share frameworks designed to help HR and business leaders move beyond experimentation with AI and implement strategies that create measurable organizational value.

Keith Ferrazzi on Human Collaboration in the AI Era

Ferrazzi’s keynote will explore how organizations can improve collaboration and collective performance as AI transforms how teams operate. Drawing from research and executive coaching experience with global companies, Ferrazzi argues that traditional leadership models must evolve toward what he calls “Teamship,” a collaborative approach that emphasizes shared accountability and coordinated action.

His session will highlight how companies can build management practices and team behaviors that translate workforce insights into real operational change.

A Forum for Workforce Transformation

Outsmart 2026 is expected to bring together more than 400 HR leaders and workforce professionals. The event will include keynote presentations, customer case studies, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to help attendees apply workforce intelligence in practical ways.

Through these sessions, participants will explore strategies for workforce planning, AI adoption, and talent development that enable organizations to move from insight to execution an increasingly critical capability in a rapidly changing labor market.
