Companies are merging HR and IT functions to better integrate technology with people strategies in response to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. A study by Nexthink indicates 64% of senior IT decision-makers at large companies expect this merger within five years. Leaders like Tracey Franklin from Moderna emphasize the need for collaboration in designing work processes, which now include the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT. The roles remain specialized, but the combined leadership is focused on strategic alignment and employee engagement.
Tracey Franklin, chief people and digital technology officer at Moderna, oversees both HR and IT for the company's 5,000-plus employees. That includes core IT services as well as the digital technology used in drug development, manufacturing and commercialisation.
Covisian merged its HR and IT functions in 2023 under chief people and technology officer Fabio Sattolo, previously the company's CTO. They view AI as a way to speed up problem resolution.
