#6 How can organisations leverage AI technology to supercharge ‘a know-it-more culture’ (Brian Murphy)

HumanAdapt Podcast is about how we need to adapt to accelerate - discussing the rapid evolution for people practitioners to embrace technology, adopt AI and shift skills & mindsets to augment the human experience, ready for tomorrow today. In this episode with guest Brian Murphy (Global Head of L&D, NTT Data) hosted by global talent expert Jig Ramji, we supercharge with mindset and capability - navigating complexity by building the data muscle, embedding learning in the flow of work, and having L&D lead work redesign for a human+AI task mix. For years, organisations have tried to get employees to drive their own career development through learning.  We have heard the terminology ‘own your career’ by growing skills and capabilities.  We have all seen mixed results, with time being cited by employees as a major challenge.  How have organisations done this well?  And with the rapid technological change and widespread optionality available to learning practitioners – what tools and technology can really augment and add value – and how do you navigate the sheer plethora of solutions?  Timestamps: * 00:00 The Quest for a World-Class Learning Function * 03:10 Growth Mindset and Microsoft’s Transformation * 07:41 Leadership Role in Learning Culture * 09:40 Linking Learning Strategy to Business Strategy * 10:50 The Power of Data and Evidence-Led Learning * 22:20 Building Skills Frameworks and Data Foundations * 26:56 Outside-In Perspectives and Cross-Industry Learning * 29:35 The Promise of AI in Learning * 33:05 Work Redesign in the Age of AI * 35:28 Personalized and Contextualized Learning This episode is brought to you by: Wharton Business Consulting – helping business leaders unlock value from integration & transformations through people – redesigning workforce structures for efficiency and growth, re-shaping culture for high performance and re-aligning & developing leaders to be future ready with smarter decision making.

#5 Creating a culture of safety and innovation to harness AI (Ben Towers)

In this episode with guest Ben Towers (CEO, HAPPL) hosted by global talent expert Jig Ramji, we serve up why culture is eating AI for brunch - how we create a culture of innovation, experimentation and continuous learning to stay ahead - the importance for leaders to create space, trust and autonomy. As people practitioners, our mindset and remit is set in the context of risk mitigation and management.  How do we create a culture of innovation and experimentation?  We have heard so often that it is time for a reinvention of work and the people function must lead this revolution – in this episode we explore how we create a culture of psychological safety and experimentation to achieve innovation, more importantly how do some of these traditional mindsets prevent us from fast tracking innovation and opportunity.

#4 Why data matters even more in AI transformation (James Morgan)

HumanAdapt Podcast is about how we need to adapt to accelerate - discussing the rapid evolution for people practitioners to embrace technology, adopt AI and shift skills & mindsets to augment the human experience, ready for tomorrow today. In this episode with guest James Morgan (Founder, OrgSight AI) hosted by global talent expert Jig Ramji, we make the case for problem-first, context-rich HR decision making: marry qualitative with quantitative, speak the language of performance and risk, use AI as a mirror, and move at decision speed. For years, many have argued that evidence-based HR functions would have an even comfier seat at the top table. Being able to test hypotheses or provide a data-led approach to the most pertinent people challenges would allow organisations to have a greater understanding of what mattered most to them and importantly how better to predict the future and mitigate against key risks and challenges.  As we embark on a new era of transformation, AI can rapidly speed up so much, but with one variable that matters even more – data sets that are reliable and valid.  Timestamps: * 00:00 Framing the Role of Evidence-Based HR * 08:10 as a Game Changer for People Functions * 10:50 From People Analytics to True Insight * 14:23 Groundwork Before Data and Analytics * 21:30 HR’s Power in Framing Outcomes * 25:16 Performance and Risk as the Board’s Language * 31:45 The Intersection of Business Language and HR * 35:35 Competitive Advantage Through Insight-Led Decisions This episode is brought to you by: Wharton Business Consulting – helping business leaders unlock value from integration & transformations through people – redesigning workforce structures for efficiency and growth, re-shaping culture for high performance and re-aligning & developing leaders to be future ready with smarter decision making.

There is currently so much change in the workplace and one of the most impacted areas of discussion is talent acquisition.  Not only how we hire for the future, but importantly the skills that we need to assess against.  In addition to this, the impact of AI on recruitment processes is opening up a plethora of opportunities and challenges that organisations are struggling to keep up with.  Timestamps: * 00:00 AI in Recruitment * 03:06 The Story Behind Spotted Zebra * 06:50 Traditional Recruitment Challenges * 09:03 Moving Beyond CV Screening * 14:11 Future Vision of Recruitment with AI * 18:47 AI as Friend, Not Foe * 22:46 AI in Assessing Skills and Capabilities * 29:59 Skills Adjacency and Talent Mobility * 32:43 Groundwork for Data-Driven Talent Acquisition * 40:24 AI Literacy and Preparing Recruitment Teams This episode is brought to you by: Wharton Business Consulting – helping business leaders unlock value from integration & transformations through people – redesigning workforce structures for efficiency and growth, re-shaping culture for high performance and re-aligning & developing leaders to be future ready with smarter decision making.

In this episode with guest Riham Satti (CEO & Co-Founder, MeVitae) hosted by global talent expert Jig Ramji and regular panellist, entrepreneur and founder Natalie Wharton, we tackle fairness - how we can establish principles and governance to guide the ethical, transparent and responsible use of AI in real-world business with a human-centred approach. AI regulators and developers of ethical codes have often observed that drafting AI regulation tends to remain abstract and academic, lacking meaningful input from those using AI in practice.
