【Hong Kong, 10 December 2025】 - The Asia Pacific Institute for Strategy (APIFS) today announced its strengthened collaboration with the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM) as part of the Institute’s Annual Conference and Exhibition 2025, the premier platform for people management leadership in Hong Kong and the region.

As a long-standing authority in HR excellence, HKIHRM continues to set the benchmark for professional development, policy influence, and workforce innovation. The 2025 theme, “Future Proofing the Workforce: Thriving in Uncertainty,” underscores the strategic imperative for organisations to elevate resilience, agility, and people-centric transformation in an AI-driven era. APIFS and HKIHRM share a unified commitment to equipping HR leaders with the strategic capabilities required to drive responsible and high-impact AI adoption across organisations. This partnership reinforces the central role of HR as the orchestrator of enterprise transformation—integrating human capability, organisational culture, and digital innovation.

During the conference, APIFS Research Director Dr. Mark Lee delivered a keynote on overcoming barriers in organisational AI adoption. His insights emphasised the human dimension of technology transformation, aligning closely with the conference’s strategic direction.

“AI transformation succeeds only when organisations treat it as a people strategy—not a technology project,” said Dr. Lee.

“HR leaders are now the architects of enterprise AI readiness, shaping cultures that give employees the confidence and capability to innovate.”

APIFS and HKIHRM will continue to collaborate on thought leadership, capability development, and executive programmes that advance Hong Kong’s position as a regional centre for AI-enabled workforce excellence. Together, the organisations aim to support business leaders in building inclusive, adaptive, and innovation-ready teams capable of thriving amid uncertainty.
