The starting half of our work got cheap. The finishing half did not.
Summary: Rui Bashir discusses the impact of AI on HR, noting that while AI can easily handle initial tasks like writing change plans, it cannot address deeper issues like identifying disengaged team members. Rui Bashir also shares insights from their newsletter on these topics and invites others to discuss unreported failures in change initiatives, particularly those that start strong but fade away quietly.
Hi all.
I run people functions across borders, mostly in organizations where the stated problem turns out not to be the problem.
One thing occupies most of my thinking right now. AI will write your change plan and your rollout note by lunchtime. It still cannot tell you who in the room stopped believing you. The starting half of our work got cheap. The finishing half never was.
I write about that in a weekly newsletter called Margin. Five minutes on Tuesdays.
Mostly here to read, though. AI in HR is the category that made me join.
One question, if anyone wants to take it. Are you carrying a change right now that launched well and then quietly stopped being mentioned? Nobody calls those failures. They just stop appearing in the update. I think it is the most common unreported failure in our function and I would like to know if that matches your experience.
Rui
