The nature of work is changing rapidly for knowledge workers. All the routine grunt-work can now be done several times faster using Generative AI tools. This will mean that people will focus on more value added, cognitively challenging work. And this Mckinsey article makes the counterintuitive point that this will make work harder. From this article - “Workers who are creators and heavy users of gen AI, in fact, told us in a recent survey that they need to build higher-level cognitive and social–emotional skills to do their jobs, more than they need to build technological skills.” “People are on a journey, moving to a place where they may no longer do the easy tasks at work.” “Gen AI is ushering in a huge shift, along the lines of the Industrial Revolution.“

Job descriptions have been dead for a while, we just haven't buried them yet. The new world of AI is not about whether we will have more or fewer jobs; it's about whether we will have the right skills to execute specific tasks. The new world of organizational design is about curating and orchestrating skills to achieve project goals, which ultimately achieve organizational goals.

Imagine a world where your job isn't what defines your productivity. 🌍💡 In the rapidly evolving digital age, AI isn't just an assistant; it's becoming the master of efficiency. 🤖 While the thought 'AI can do my job better than me' might trigger a wave of anxiety😨, let's pivot and see the silver lining.🌈 AI excels in repetitive, data-heavy tasks💻. It doesn't get tired. It doesn't get bored. It processes information at a speed that's simply unattainable for humans. But here's the twist - this doesn't diminish our value; it amplifies it.💪 The real magic happens when we synergize with AI. Imagine dedicating the hours you save to creative thinking, strategy, or even learning new skills. This isn't about being replaced; it's about being elevated. 🔝 Consider this: AI can analyze data, but it can't understand the nuances of human emotion or the unpredictable nature of creativity (yet). That's where we shine. Our intuition, our ability to connect on a human level, and our creativity are our superpowers. 👥✨ So, let's rethink productivity. It's not about doing more in less time; it's about doing what truly matters. Let AI handle the grunt work. This frees us to focus on innovation, strategy, and personal growth.📈 The question isn't whether AI can do your job better. The question is, how can you leverage AI to become the best version of yourself? 🏆 Embrace the change. Explore how you can partner with AI to redefine productivity in your field. Let's start a conversation about transformation, not replacement. How are you preparing for a future where AI enhances your work? 🤔 Dive in. The future is collaborative.

There is no evidence that Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. In fact, it may be from a 1981 Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet. Nonetheless, it is a pithy reminder to review your activities. Busyness is rarely good business, just as activity does not equate to productivity. If that were true, writers would be the most productive people on the planet, instead of folks with well-ordered wardrobes and clean fridges. Slack and other digital managerial tools are supposed to promote efficiency within a team. Instead, they can swamp employees with "superficial" work, increasing demands on their attention, and preventing them from focusing on the core purpose of their work. Many will look to AI to streamline things by removing mundane tasks. The problem with that is that routine tasks can provide much-needed cognitive breathing space. The question is, are you doing what needs to be done (even if it is routine or boring), or merely keeping busy? What’s that definition of insanity again?

The realities of AI are unknown, but also unbound. They predict up to 60% of the workforce in the UK will be affected. Half of that positively. The argument isn’t IF. It’s how big the impact. And when. Pandemic brought about hybrid working. AI will replace people even faster in a world where we don’t sit in an office with each other. A workforce with low/no social bonds is definitely the most vulnerable to change. I wonder if that will change where people want to work. AI will though of course for some, enrich and expand the hybrid work model. Their are AI coaching tools out there answering questions in the voice of experienced coaches. I can understand how… but context and judgement are so nuanced. It will be fascinating to see an AI version of me replacing me or doing a better job than me. I think I stick with being just me, but I’m probably hiding from progress. Wow. The world is changing. Fast. AI operators. And no code wizards. The world will be yours.
