The Human Behind the Curtain. Three people-first rules for building AI value.

Date:

In this session, Josh Cardoz (Chief Creative & Learning Office at Sponge) shares three rules for getting more value from AI by putting a change-fatigued workforce back in the picture and giving them a reason to care. 

  • Rule #1: The quality of your enablement experience really matters. 

  • Rule #2 Solve what the business needs. No, but really. 

  • Rule #3: Find your focus. Pick one thing and do it well. 

"Today is about simplifying. More than anything, let's just get people going. It's not about driving tools, but about unlocking the humanness that we know is going to create the value. So, despite what we're all hearing and feeling, my argument for today is, well, it's actually never been a better time to be human at work."

Getting to the Emerald City...

In the corporate Land of Oz, we’ve spent years pinning our hopes on the wizard of AI while too often overlooking the human behind the curtain. Now, as organisations look for a return on their AI investment, many are confronting a deskilling crisis, as the very human skills that made AI valuable in the first place begin to erode. 

The AI investment was the right move. The challenge now is to shift the focus from the tool to the person behind it because your AI strategy means nothing until people start doing things differently.

Watch the recording to: 

  • Redesign people enablement around wonder, intimacy and storytelling
  • Link your people strategy to real business needs and outcomes
  • Address the specific people challenge blocking adoption
