All the talk is of AI but what about the action? Is it too soon to act or are we at risk of missing the bus? In this episode, seasoned CLO, Christopher Lind, explores how he has led his team and organisation in the age of AI towards expecting and achieving more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

L&D teams need to adapt fast to both technological and economic disruptors and learn to use a new bag of tricks.
You have to understand what is needed before you can deliver, so you have to push back a bit on the pressure to do everything in a rush.
When you change the way L&D works you are going to get pushback. You will have to stand your ground but pick your battles.
Be very patient with your stakeholders when you change things. It will take many months for them to see the improvement and fully understand the change.
To help the stakeholder recognise whether this thing is really that important, ask what things will look like once we have fixed this,
Get to know people on a personal level. Building strong relationships opens up communication and makes things far easier down the line.
Use AI to work faster, but also think creatively and ask how you can use it to do things differently.
AI makes true real-time active learning possible.
Use AI to improve your skills and help you to do your job better and faster.
AI creates time for you to do things you simply didn´t have enough capacity for before.

BEST MOMENTS

'I can get an algorithm to create more creative content than a person now.'

'You actually can use this (AI) for yourself as well.'

'People aren't transactions, they are relationships… focus on relationships.'

'Technology is radically opening new pathways to do stuff like we've never been able to do before.'
