UNLEASH Paris 2025 showcased how Europe’s HR leaders are moving from talking about skills to proving workforce value. From TechWolf’s roundtable and Yasamin Karimi’s session to our boat event on the Seine, one theme stood out: the organizations winning with skills are those turning data into measurable business outcomes.

Workday Rising SF 2025 highlighted both the excitement and challenges of building skills-based organizations. TechWolf engaged with hundreds of HR leaders, sharing insights on the urgent need for clean workforce data, the growing pressure to tie HR initiatives directly to business outcomes, and the evolving role of AI in shaping work. The event reinforced that HR is at a pivotal moment, responsible not only for fixing data and job architectures but also for intentionally designing how AI transforms tasks, skills, and careers.
