    From Ag to AI: Reimagining Tech Talent at John Deere

    When discussing innovative tech firms, 187-year-old John Deere might not be the first name that springs to mind. Known better for its iconic green and yellow tractors and trendy hats, most people are surprised to learn that the company is also a pioneer and long-time leader in AI and robotics.

    While John Deere’s evolution from traditional manufacturer to tech powerhouse has been ongoing for decades, it wasn’t until 2019 that the transformation hit full throttle with the adoption of an Agile operating model.

    The initiative’s success largely hinged on reimagining the company’s approach to talent management, along with advancing a fundamental shift in organizational culture. 

    Get insights direct from Renae Shannon, Global IT HR Business Partner at John Deere, and learn how the ag giant built a tech-forward workforce—plus how HR professionals play a pivotal role in shaping the workforces of the future.
