The "Who let the Data out - UH, UH, UH-HU-HU" Edition

A recent Harvard Business Review article dropped some truth bombs about Gen AI.

It confirms what intuitively a LOT of US guessed: AI can help us be more fulfilled at work.

A study of 500+ admin and HR professionals revealed incredible stats:

  • Teams with managers that used the technology themselves saw 350% higher adoption rates. This created a supportive environment for experimentation, that in turn spread like wildfire across teams.
  • HR professionals using AI for focus work reported spending 29% less time on routine tasks, leading to 17% higher enjoyment and 12% higher effectiveness in their roles.
  • Teams that co-created their AI implementation had twice as many active users and reported 13% greater overall job satisfaction.

And I love this little story:

“We directed our teams to use the tool to compose a Shakespearean sonnet or a brief poem about their week at work to share with their colleagues.” The teams that completed this exercise saw 47% higher adoption than other groups.


I will continue hammering on this point: just get your people to PLAY with AI. Get them in a room, use the tools, make it work for THEM

And now that I have data to back it up, I will be EVEN more annoying.

Here's the original HBR article - https://hbr.org/2024/06/how-gen-ai-can-make-work-more-fulfilling

Re-skilling our organisations might be the most important step we take today.

To get us ready for a future... ?That is here already.

Thank you, Marco Andre ??, for highlighting Gen AI's true purpose— not as a threat to jobs, or the future Creativity mastermind, but as a catalyst for operational efficiency. As an advocate for GenAI in organisations, I’ve seen its power to cut down mundane tasks and overcome initial resistances, uplifting team engagement and focus. Please keep spotlighting these essential insights. It's crucial that companies recognize AI's role in eliminating 'corporate routine boredom' and empowering HUMAN teams to deliver meaningful value. ??
