In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we explore the future of work with Heather Jerrehian, diving into the impact of AI on the workforce and why talent viability is crucial for business agility.
Heather challenges common misconceptions about AI, emphasising that rather than replacing human workers, AI can make work more human by taking over mundane tasks and allowing employees to focus on high-value, human-centric skills. These "power skills"—like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence—will become even more essential as AI adoption grows.
We also discuss how leaders can ease AI-related fears through effective change management and by actively involving employees in conversations about AI’s role in their work. Heather highlights the importance of talent visibility, showing how understanding workforce capabilities can drive better business agility. Heather also cautions leaders to navigate common pitfalls, including the need for ethical AI governance and responsible implementation.
Heathers message to leaders? Don’t let fear slow you down—AI is a powerful tool for innovation and growth.
