Dr Laura Weis

Global Human-AI Strategy Lead, WPP

As Global Human-AI Strategy Lead at WPP, Dr. Laura Weis is at the forefront of solving the human challenges of AI adoption. Her work is built on a clear principle: while AI provides a powerful “escalator to average”, true business value is only captured when organisations redesign the core systems in which work happens.

Laura is presenting at the Workforce Solutions Conference 2026
Making HR feel human in the digital age
Tuesday 6 October, 10:00 – 10:50, Conference Room C

Experience & expertise

Dr. Weis moves organisations beyond tool adoption to focus on the critical, often invisible, drivers of performance: behaviours, decision-making quality, and feedback loops. She is the architect of MESH (Measuring Enterprise Structural Health), a diagnostic framework that pinpoints and corrects where value breaks down in human-AI systems, from fragmented effort and slow decisions to the erosion of quality and expertise.

A key focus of her work is giving leaders a playbook to counter “apprenticeship compression” and develop the “M-shaped” talent needed to run modern, AI-enabled teams. Through her strategic counsel, Dr. Weis equips global organisations to build a resilient quality layer, solve the AI disclosure paradox through “trust design”, and ensure technology ultimately amplifies human judgment.
