HC 2028 Experimentation Lab

Work Design in the AI & Skills First Era

An exclusive Pilot MIP (Managed Intelligence Platform) deployed for Fortune 500 HR Executives to test-drive the hybrid workforce.

1. The "Hartwell Financial" Sandbox

To protect your company's actual IP, you will be operating inside "Hartwell Financial"—a simulated, 12,500-employee global enterprise. We pre-loaded this MIP environment with messy corporate data, including HRIS rosters, thousands of support tickets, and compensation bands. You get to experience how Managed Intelligence handles complex data at scale without risking your own security.

2. Your Digital HR Squad

Forget basic chatbots. You will direct a team of four specialized Digital Teammates capable of analyzing multiple files, searching the web, and executing complex HR workflows:

Strategic Workforce Planner

Compares internal turnover data against live external benchmarks to predict and prevent flight risks.

Total Rewards Optimizer

Instantly audits performance ratings against compensation spreadsheets to flag hidden pay-equity anomalies.

HR Operations Auditor

Reads thousands of employee helpdesk tickets against a 40-page corporate policy manual to identify systemic bottlenecks.

Talent Capability Architect

Maps your internal skills taxonomy to external training certifications to generate automated upskilling roadmaps.

3. The Digital Value Office (Measuring True ROI)

The Lab is powered by our Digital Value Office (DVO) dashboard, shifting the focus from vanity metrics like chats sent to hard financial impact. We provide full observability into real-time platform adoption, tracing workflow usage across your team, and user-reported feedback to calculate hours of labor saved (the Cognitive Dividend). Additionally, the system captures the Human Alpha—tracking where executives intervene to refine the AI's output, providing secondary proof of where human judgment remains critical.
