Welcome to the first day of the week and some H.A.I.R goodness.
I was thinking over the weekend about how best to support HR leaders in their plans for AI-focused transformation.
Embarking on an AI transformation journey in HR can be both exciting and quite overwhelming. With a plethora of opportunities for change, where do you start? Here's where I would start if I was thrown into this.
1. Eisenhower Matrix:
First, assess your tasks and initiatives using the Eisenhower Matrix, a powerful decision-making tool. Divide your HR processes into four categories:
Urgent and Important (Green): These tasks need immediate attention, such as critical HR issues or compliance matters. AI solutions here can prevent crises and streamline urgent processes.
Important, Not Urgent (Blue): Strategic planning, skill development, and long-term AI integration fall here. These tasks are essential but not time-sensitive. Allocate focused time for research and understanding AI technologies tailored to your HR needs.
Urgent, Not Important (Yellow): Routine tasks like answering repetitive queries might be urgent but not significant. Chatbots can handle these, freeing your time for more impactful tasks.
Not Urgent, Not Important (Red): Some tasks neither demand immediate attention nor hold significant value. Identifying such tasks can help you decide whether they can be automated or eliminated, enabling better resource allocation.
2. Action Priority Matrix:
Next, create an Action Priority Matrix. Prioritise tasks based on effort and impact. AI projects often fall into one of these categories:
Quick Wins (Low Effort, High Impact): Identify AI solutions that require minimal implementation effort but yield substantial benefits. This could be automating repetitive administrative tasks, enhancing candidate experience, or improving data analysis for HR insights.
Major Projects (High Effort, High Impact): Involve comprehensive AI integration, like advanced analytics for talent prediction or developing AI-driven learning platforms. Plan these projects meticulously, focusing on long-term benefits.
Fill-Ins (Low Effort, Low Impact): Tasks falling here may not be suitable for immediate AI solutions. Delegate them to existing processes or consider minor automation.
Thankless Tasks (High Effort, Low Impact): Avoid investing significant resources in projects that won't yield substantial benefits. Reevaluate their necessity in your HR workflow.
By combining the Eisenhower Matrix and the Action Priority Matrix, you can systematically identify, prioritise, and implement AI solutions that align with your HR objectives.
Remember, every organisation's AI journey is unique. Start with small, impactful steps, then scale up as your team gains confidence and experience.
Some cool tools that I have come across this week:

We all know how hard it is to keep up with continuously having to post on social media, just to attract attention from the algorithm and get your posts in front of your audience, so why not put it on auto-pilot? Check out narrato AI Content Genie for a tool that might be able to help.

It’s been 6 months since the last episode of this series. I'm pretty sure I was on one or two of the originals, but obviously a lot has changed in the world of chatGPT and GeneratvieAI since then.
Do we have some new use cases which can be applied to recruiting? Hung Lee is bringing in some experts who say there are. This is a must-attend event if you want to get up to scratch with chatGPT. Register here.

ChatGPT Prompting Thought of the Day...
Not long after OpenAI first unveiled its DALL-E 3 AI image generator integrated into ChatGPT earlier this month, some users testing the feature began noticing bugs in the ChatGPT app that revealed internal prompts shared between the image generator and the AI assistant.
Amusingly to some, the instructions included commands written in all-caps for emphasis. What's perhaps most interesting is that this prompt gives a window into the interface between DALL-E and ChatGPT and how it appears to function using natural language.
While the idea of being polite to a Large Language Model might have sounded amusing initially, there's a method to this approach. This model is trained on an extensive corpus of texts sourced from the web, meaning its understanding is derived from countless examples of human communication, including instances of polite language and reactions to it. This vast dataset likely accounts for why instructing an LLM to "take a deep breath" can enhance its ability to compute mathematical results effectively.
Interestingly, OpenAI's DALL-E messages also employ all-capital letters for emphasis, a typographical choice often perceived as shouting or yelling. Why does a sophisticated model like GPT-4 respond to simulated shouting? The answer lies in its training data, where numerous instances of text in all caps exist, indicating that responses paid heightened attention to these capitalised words. This learning mirrors how the model comprehends the impact of being polite in various contexts.
So, as a hypothesis, can we create a better output from chatGPT by shouting loudly and clearly using CAPS in our prompts to emphasise something important to pay attention to?
