In this first episode of our brand-new podcast series, Sponge Sessions, Josh Cardoz sits down with Neil Hunter, Chief Learning Officer at Deloitte Canada, to explore how organisations can navigate AI transformation without losing the human capabilities that drive business value.
Discussing cognitive overload, change fatigue and the evolving role of leadership, they explore the skills needed to maximise performance in the age of AI.
"I'm really cautious about separating AI skills and human skills. The capability we're actually trying to build is human plus AI performance. It's human skills in light of AI and AI skills in light of human capability."
Neil Hunter
Chief Learning Officer, Deloitte Canada
Better humans, not just better tools
AI is changing the way we work. But getting people to use new tools is only part of the challenge. Alongside AI fluency, organisations need to create the conditions for people to learn, adapt and perform at their best.
Ultimately, the real opportunity isn't just to make work faster or easier. It's to help people become better at what they do.
Watch the recording to:
- Learn how to use AI to strengthen human skills, rather than replace them
- Discover how leaders can mobilise a change-fatigued workforce and inspire confidence amid uncertainty
- Explore how hands-on practice and meaningful reflection can turn learning into better performance
