Beyond Automation: Uncover AI’s Hidden Impact on Your Organization

Unlock Deep Insights and Strategic Guidance with Our EVP Impact Scan

I received positive feedback on last week's article from several industry experts, underscoring the importance of zooming out when implementing AI in our processes and understanding the ripple effect on our organizations' structure, culture, and management style.

‘Spot on, Angelique’

In the article, I looked back on how email, over time, did not merely automate the fax machine but spurred far-reaching changes in the way we work: it changed jobs, culture, flattened organizational structures, and changed professional relationships.

In the article, I also explored the effects of one specific new functionality: Microsoft Copilot’s ability to transcribe and summarize meetings and follow up on action points. I examined possible ways this functionality could affect our behavior and contribute to a new philosophy around hybrid workplaces. Over the past week, I have delved deeper to understand how companies are anticipating the potential impacts of AI on the general EVP.

Some believe there is no rush and expect a gradual adjustment at best. But I also encountered a large traditional law firm intentionally navigating the impact of shifting from a traditional partner structure with legal skills as core skills, towards a hybrid legal-tech company, and how the effect that will have on all layers of the organisation. With a proven record of predicting future developments, I will tell you this:

AI is definitely sending a shockwave through your organization

The question is not IF AI will disrupt the way we work, including our professional relationships and organizational structures, but WHEN it will happen.

And here lies the risk. Not taking timely action to understand the areas of impact and prepare for them can leave your company with a workforce possessing outdated skills and a lack of access to the AI talents needed to optimize your processes to stay ahead of your competition. Additionally, you may face a shortage of external resources to support you through these transformations - your competition might hire them first.

The First Signs of AI impacting EVP

Last week, I sent a proposal to a company looking into automation and AI integration. The leadership team wants to understand what it means for jobs and responsibilities, possible ways to restructure and what it means for their strategic workforce planning.

We know that routine tasks will be replaced, affecting many jobs. We face choices: up-skill these employees and leverage these talents for more strategic and creative work, or maybe reinvent our current job structures, including middle management. Tasks and roles being restructured is the first visible effect and companies will face the challenge to choose their best strategy: investing in employee development with up-skilling and creating jobs with more responsibilities or streamline the organisation and save costs with FTE reductions.

What strategy you choose by adapting to new workprocesses will reflect in your Employee Value Proposition. And that future EVP will be part of your companies succes over the next decade.

How can I help?

It is my job to advise and support my clients and network in navigating developments in the world of work - doing some of the heavy lifting for them.

How can I support you and your company in navigating this new disruptor in a way that leverages the benefits of AI and mitigates the risks of falling behind in adjusting your organizations, ensuring a strong EVP and sustainable growth?

As a first step, it is important to clearly understand into what areas of your current EVP will be impacted by enhanced AI integrations and the quick developments of both technology and use cases.

EVP Impact Scan

I am excited to announce the launch of the EVP (Employee Value Proposition) Impact Scan, designed to help leadership teams gain insights into how AI will transform their organizational structure, culture, and leadership. I have used the insights from my research on the optimal organizational context for knowledge workers and enhanced this with more recent, post-pandemic research.

What is the EVP Impact Scan?

The EVP Impact Scan is a comprehensive analysis tool that examines the broader implications of AI within your organization. Based on the scan, I provide detailed insights and actionable recommendations tailored to your unique organizational context.

Benefits of the EVP Impact Scan:

• Guided Leadership Session: An interactive session with your leadership team (3-5 people) guided by me, providing deeper insights and understanding of the areas that will be impacted. This session alone is invaluable in aligning the leadership team towards the next steps.
• Depth and Breadth: This analysis delves into the far-reaching implications of AI, providing a holistic view that goes beyond mere automation, where most companies now stop.
• Expertise and Vision: With extensive experience in HR strategy and organizational change, I offer a unique blend of visionary insights and practical strategies.
• Tailored Recommendations: Each analysis is customized to the specific needs and context of your organization, ensuring relevance and immediate applicability.
• Future-Proofing: This session helps organizations anticipate and adapt to the changing Employee Value Proposition, ensuring long-term success and sustainability.
• Personal Consultation: Follow-up session to discuss the findings and next steps, providing clarity on your transformation strategy, including timeline, project management, and tangible recommendations for interventions.

1. Book a Session: Submit to book the Guided Leadership session
2. Guided Questionnaire: During the session, I guide your team through a comprehensive set of questions, helping you gain valuable insights.
