CEO AdvisoHR | Recognize & Reward AI Initiatives

Question of the week:

Considering the agenda you proposed to 2024 https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/ceo-advisohr-2024-agenda-helder-figueiredo-dubgf/, 'How can we Recognize and Reward AI Initiatives'?'

Dear CEO,

As we continue our journey into the future of work, let's create a groundbreaking initiative to recognize and celebrate the incredible strides we’re making in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI).

Introducing the AI Innovation Awards!

Our talented teams have been pushing the boundaries, leveraging AI to drive efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new opportunities. From chatbots that answer customer queries in seconds to predictive analytics that optimize supply chains, our AI initiatives are reshaping the way we work.

So, how do we recognize and reward these game-changing efforts? Let’s dive in:

1. The AI Innovation Awards

Creating our very own AI Hall of Fame! Each quarter, honoring outstanding AI projects that have made a significant impact. These awards will celebrate creativity, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of innovation.

2. Middle Managers: Our AI Champions

Middle managers, they are our secret sauce! The bridge between strategy and execution. Here’s how we empower them to embrace AI:

• Training and Upskilling: We’ll provide tailored training sessions on AI fundamentals. Understand the basics, ask questions, and explore use cases.
• Championing Change: Make them our AI ambassadors. Share success stories, demystify AI, and inspire the teams.
• Feedback Loop: Regular check-ins to discuss challenges, share learnings, and fine-tune our approach.

3. HR’s Role

HR plays a pivotal role in this journey. Here’s how HR can support the CEO’s vision:

• Communication: HR will shout from the rooftops! Regular newsletters, town halls, and success stories to keep everyone informed.
• Incentives: Tie AI adoption to performance metrics. Reward teams that embrace AI and drive results.
• Learning Resources: Curate a library of AI resources with case studies, webinars, and industry reports.

4. Real-World Inspiration

Let’s peek at what other companies are doing:

• Google’s gThanks and Spot Bonus: AI-driven recognition programs that celebrate small wins. A simple “thank you” can go a long way!
• Salesforce’s Trailhead and Chatter: Gamified learning platforms that encourage AI adoption. Earn badges, level up, and become an AI guru.
• Starbucks’ Bean Stock and Green Apron: AI-powered stock allocation and personalized training plans. Baristas are brewing success!

Remember, AI isn’t just about algorithms; it’s about people.
