Steven Bowman and I discuss AI and digital transformation in another episode of AI-Insights:
Insights
Is AI just for corporations or urban environments?
Another informal, live, and unscripted conversation with software guru and AI expert Steven Bowman:
Language change in the age of AI
There will undoubtably be language changes with AI as with other major technologies.
One funny one I thought of:
“I’ll have my people talk to your people”
becomes
“I’ll have my bots talk to your bots”
It’s raining money with AI
Some ideas about how to think about AI opportunities …
How to get better results from AI
… and what are different “flavors” of AI bots?
An informal discussion with Steven Bowman, software guru and AI expert:
An example of non performance management
Intuit laid off 1,800 this summer and plans to rehire about as many.
Set aside the AI shift as part of the reason for the moment …
“More than 1,000 of the people being let go were not meeting performance expectations.”
Why were the non-performers only NOW let go?
It’s somewhat hard to believe that more than a 1,000 people – 6% or more of the workforce – suddenly became “non-performing” …
The problem will likely repeat in the future unless leaders/managers become “performing.”
Clearing out non-performers as part of a bigger layoff or focus shift is easy.
Leading and managing for high performance day-to-day is harder.
Not doing it is leadership and management failure, not worker failure … and those failing should be let go first before their employees.
