Preparing People for the future: AI won’t take your job, but people who use it will
Maybe you are not thinking about AI integration yet in your business or within your team in the organization, however there are certain little changes you can do to expedite learning and boost productivity for your team. Please do invest in people, the ROI is proven the highest when you do that. Leaders have a lot on their to do list, however make investing in people priority and you will see remarkable results.
I sharing with you action plans for leaders that you can do today without any preparation to boost your team productivity and encourage learning:
Schedule 10 minutes on your team weekly meeting and ask what is the new thing they learned this week. Also, encourage knowledge sharing, if someone mentioned something that changed their work life, ask them to share it with the team.
Encourage your team to play around with Chat GPT. Encourage them to utilise tool and explain them all they need to know about responsible use of AI (if there is Responsible AI Policy share with them).
Encourage your people to try and utilise tools such as: Loom, Microcopy, Tinywow, Jenni AI, Convertio, Quillbot, Remove.bg, Otter AI. Even look for budget to pay fees for employees who are interested.
Encourage your people to find their passion and discover in what they are really good at, and what they enjoy doing. Such a simple thing that young folks are craving for, yet still as per the employee survey results leaders are forgetting that. How you can do that? Encourage your team to use 10% of their time on some projects with other teams. Cross-functional collaboration has given people different perspectives and ideas on what is needed to be done. Then after couple of projects, encourage them to have their own. Give people power to make incremental changes, explore, learn, make mistakes, try. This is one of the best thing Amazon has absorbed deeply in their work culture, try something new, fail quick, make mistakes, learn and do better.
