Transform yourself before the market forces you to change.

The first tech highlight of The Makeover 2025 is Henrik von Scheel, the Originator of Industry 4.0. In his session, “The Next Disruption: Lead It or Be Led?”, he will deliver a wake-up call to businesses: AI may not be humanity’s final breakthrough. His message is unequivocal—reinvent before the market forces you to change, and leadership must decide whether the company will lead or be led.

When AI Makes Factories Smart and Sustainable

In “Lead with AI – Invented for Life” Andre de Jong — Vice President & Managing Director, Bosch Vietnam; Regional Business Unit Head (ASEAN), Two-Wheeler & Powersports — will share how to navigate shocks and leverage AI to drive growth while improving outcomes across the partner ecosystem. Bosch’s story will highlight how the company is upskilling people with AI-informed perspectives and upgrading operations to become smarter and more sustainable.

Building a Culture Where Humans and AI Grow Together

Returning to The Makeover, Dr. Son Do Lenh, Deputy CEO – Strategy, Technology & Transformation, Talentnet, will bring a grounded view in “Know to grow with HumAIn workforce.”

He will outline the most sought-after skills as AI becomes part of work and will emphasize building systems where humans and AI collaborate, not collide.

“AI isn’t just technology – it’s a force reshaping how companies operate and develop people. With The Makeover 2025, we aim to give leaders a forum that’s globally updated yet practical enough to apply to their own AI journeys.” – Dr. Son Do Lenh

CHRO in the AI Era: From Manager to Architect

With extensive experience leading large-scale HR transformation projects, Sujay Bhat, Senior Director, HR Strategy Consulting, SAP SuccessFactors Southeast Asia, will share in his session “Transforming Workforce Strategies with AI & Digitalization: The CHRO’s Next Chapter” how AI has completely reshaped the role of the CHRO.

Instead of managing people by job titles, a skills-based approach is now seen as the key to ensuring that organizations have the right talent for the right needs. From there, he introduces practical solutions to help CHROs leverage AI-driven insights to transform the workforce—placing skills at the heart of HR strategy. At the same time, he emphasizes building a resilient, engaged, and future-ready workforce capable of driving long-term growth
