Episode Content

For Employees

Use Case: Look into how you can use it to design the first draft of things. Slideshows, meeting summaries, action items, templates, etc

Example: You have the status meeting with your team. It’s recorded. Copy/Paste that transcript into AI, have it identify action items, create summary, and generate update slide deck. You can have it create different versions for different audiences.

Treat AI like a brilliant intern. You always should review the work that an intern generates.

Don’t attach your professional identity to one of your job functions that AI can do. Example: If you are really good at making slide shows pivot tables, don’t resist AI because it might also do slides and pivot tables well, there’s more to your identity, lean into the other parts, don’t fight AI.

Keep learning. Life is a journey. If AI can do a part of your job, learn how to leverage that and continue learning other parts of your job that AI can’t do.

Epic Quote: “You’re not going to lose your job to AI, you’re going to lose your job to someone who’s doing your job with AI”

For Front Line Supervisors and Middle Managers

Do not let AI do “the people part” of your job. For example, don’t let AI write performance reviews.

Get better and more focused on the people parts of your job with the time AI frees up: For all of you that used to use the excuse that there was so much to do that you didn’t have time for the non-people parts of your job, those days are gone, leverage AI to help produce the non-people parts of your job, so you can spend more time on the "people parts” of your job.

Leverage AI for a second opinion. If you’re contemplating someone, and you want to “bounce that idea off of someone” or “kick an idea around”, AI is a resource is.

AI is great for creating schedules with all kinds of parameters, barriers, requests, etc.

AI has leveled up translation - it’s not perfect, you’ll still want to create review the translated product, but the quality of the translation is even better. Stakeholders in other countries and languages, let AI regenerate a first draft of your work product in other languages

AI is great for crunching numbers and identifying patterns. Example: Here’s the raw data from the Employee Viewpoint Survey, there’s thousands of responses to that survey, there’s thousands of lines of responses.

Today’s Guest

Christopher Lind
Business, Technology & Human Experience
Workplace Transformation

Most individuals who have dedicated their careers to transforming learning and talent development have spent the majority of their time in Human Resources. I’m different from most individuals. I’m a bold, digital-first learning and talent development leader that’s spent the majority of my career embedded in the businesses I serve. As a result, I’ve spent my entire career at the intersection of business, technology, and the human experience while working side-by-side with business leaders and being directly accountable for outcomes. This has provided me with a dynamic portfolio of experiences and expertise you won’t easily find.

Christopher talks about #futureofwork, #talentdevelopment, #digitaltransformation, #leadershipdevelopment, and #learninganddevelopment
