There is a lot of talk about how L&D needs to be proactive, not reactive. But how do we do that when technology is moving so fast? It starts with having a point of view on where the world of work is headed, and then building a bridge to that future. Because if we only make incremental changes from where we are now, we'll likely be playing catch-up for a long time—and risk preparing people for the work of today, not tomorrow. Here are some of the forces I think about a lot these days: 🎓 AI seems to be denting the supply of entry level jobs. What does that mean for the talent pipeline later down the line? And how should we onboard the graduates that *do* get employed so they can add value on top of AI? 📈 AI gets lower performers closer to higher performers (HBS & BCG study), and individuals working with AI match the performance of *teams* without AI (HBS & P&G study). How do we evaluate, recognise and enhance expertise in such a world? 🏁 Vibe coding/marketing/learning/something else, single founder unicorns, service-as-a-software (not software-as-a-service!) and zero latency economy are just some of the predictions that would affect both the nature and pace of work. What support would our people and organisations need to adapt? L&D isn't short on AI tools. What we need is a vision—to imagine how AI will reshape performance, learning, and the world of work at large. And, ultimately, what L&D needs to 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 to have a role in it.

In my work with boards and exec teams one of the pointed questions is always the degree of focus in AI initiatives. Johnson & Johnson's divergent-convergent strategy is highly instructive. Some commentators have suggested that this means the use case proliferation was a mistake. J&J's CIO doesn't see it like that. "You had to take an iterative approach to say, ‘Where are these technologies useful and where are they not?’... We had the right plan three years ago, but we matured our plan based on three years of understanding,” Leaders cannot know in advance where the value will emerge. The challenge is to select the right scope of experimenation before selecting focus use cases. Another shift was from centralized AI by a board governance to function-specific ownership such as commercial, R&D, and supply chain, enabling better prioritization and faster iteration. Again, these models suit different phases of the AI adoption journey. Most organizations are far earlier than J&J, which has strong maturity. On metrics: "The company is tracking progress in three buckets: first, the ability to successfully deploy and implement use cases; second, how widely they are adopted; and third, the extent to which they deliver on business outcomes." I strongly suspect that they are not using a "win rate" on their use case success. There are similarities to VC portfolios, where a few big wins make all the investments worthwhile. | 12 comments on LinkedIn

3.000 KI-Assistenten integriert in alle Teams. Das ist die KI-Reise von Moderna: “It’s hard to convey—within the hype—how much AI is changing things and how much Moderna is using it across the board” Dieses Zitat von Wade Davis, Modernas Head of Digital for Business, zeigt sehr schön wie schwer der allumfassende Wandel von KI zu beschreiben ist. Es sind eben nicht 2 - 3 Use Cases ein ein paar Bereichen. Viel mehr geht es um eine Veränderung der Denk- und Arbeitsweise. Während viele Unternehmen noch zögern, hat Moderna bereits konkrete Schritte unternommen, um KI strategisch zu implementieren: 1. Zusammenlegung von HR und IT unter einer Führung 2. Systematische Analyse aller Arbeitsprozesse 3. Klare Entscheidung: Was macht Mensch & Maschine? 4. Entwicklung von 3.000 spezialisierten KI-Assistenten 5. Integration dieser Assistenten in komplexe Workflows Der taktische Ansatz dahinter ist bemerkenswert: ↳ Nicht einzelne KI-Projekte, sondern eine umfassende Transformation ↳ Keine isolierten Tools, sondern vernetzte Systeme ↳ Kein Fokus auf Stellenabbau, sondern auf Neugestaltung der Arbeit KI-Integration ist keine einmalige Initiative, sondern ein fortlaufender Prozess der Organisationsentwicklung. Moderna zeigt, dass der Erfolg nicht von einzelnen Tools abhängt, sondern von der strategischen Neugestaltung der Arbeit selbst. Genau das ist der Weg, den es zu gehen gilt. | 12 Kommentare auf LinkedIn

I was interviewed in today's The Wall Street Journal on the impact of AI agents on customer behavior - here's how I believe our lives are about to change: ( ⬇️ From the article by the great Steve Rosenbush ⬇️ ) There is a flywheel effect at work here. The AI agent has access to an enormous amount of data about users that makes it possible to tailor recommendations, information, and insights to their needs. And once they reside in a messaging app, they can create a continuing presence in the user’s life, just like a person would. “Once an AI knows you and remembers your history, it stops feeling like a tool and starts to feel like a companion,” says Conor Grennan, chief AI architect at New York University Stern School of Business. “It starts to blur the line between an AI brand ambassador and just a friend who shares your taste.”" ⬆️ End of quote ⬆️ . The wild part of all this to me is that agents are coming to WhatsApp, where we hang out. It shows us a ton about Meta's strategy: My thoughts: WhatsApp already hosts most of our everyday conversations, so when a brand drops in an AI agent that greets me like the barista who knows my order, it doesn’t feel like marketing—it feels like service. What’s new is the compounding effect: every helpful, context-aware response deposits a little ‘trust capital’ in the relationship bank. Those micro-interactions can become a moat for a brand by helping establish lasting customer loyalty. So: Where do you see this all going? +++++++++++++++++ UPSKILL YOUR ORGANIZATION: When your organization is ready to create an AI-powered culture—not just add tools—AI Mindset would love to help.

Eine empirische Studie zeigt: Der wirtschaftliche Nutzen der generativen KI wird von Führungskräften mit praktischer Erfahrung deutlich positiver bewertet als von solchen ohne. Während 64 Prozent der Erfahrenen von einer schnellen Amortisation ausgehen, glauben dies nur 35 Prozent der Unerfahrenen. Die Wirtschaftlichkeit hängt stark vom Betriebsmodell, der Nutzungstiefe und den unternehmensspezifischen Bedingungen ab. Wer GenAI gezielt einsetzt, steigert Produktivität, Innovationskraft und Arbeitgeberattraktivität – ein realer betriebswirtschaftlicher Vorteil, schreibt Peter Buxmann in seinem Gastbeitrag für F.A.Z.

*NEW PAPER*: GenAI investments will only pay off if employees adopt the technology and learn to use it effectively. Feelings of psychological threats are common and they are going to be a major obstacle. GenAI deployment therefore needs to be accompanied by a careful talent management strategy. In our new Trends in Cognitive Sciences article, we review the psychological threats that GenAI deployment can trigger in workers, focusing on three areas: competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Moreover, we sketch different types of reactions that such feelings of threats can trigger. The figure below summarizes five coping strategies (both adaptive and maladaptive) for the three types of psychological threat. Link to the article in comment (open access for 50 days).

When I say a ‘traditional course’, I mean learning content (instructor-led or self-service) delivered online or face-to-face either, going from beginning to end with little variation in content or delivery. These courses have been the mainstay of training at work since I started in the classroom in the 1980s. For some, the idea that the traditional course is doomed come as a shock. For others, it’s self-evident. Listening to researchers, experts and practitioners like Dani Johnson, Dr Philippa Hardman and Gregg Collins, I am convinced that within 5 years most organisational training will abandon these traditional courses. Why? It is now easy to personalise content, even in a simple fashion, with AI. With extra effort, you can deliver content via adaptive delivery that understands where you are succeeding and failing and changes what you learn, and how you learn it, to ensure you reach competency faster. It’s more effective, more enjoyable, and faster. All of this is already happening, and it's only going to get easier and more wide-spread. But the real drive will come not from the technology, but from the learners. The technology enables the change. The learners will demand it. Once enough people have experienced content delivered with this flexibility – probably initially in their private lives, as consumers – they will start to ask why their employers aren’t delivering content the same way. So I have three questions for you this Friday: · Do you agree that the traditional course doomed? · If so, is the timescale of 2-5 years reasonable? · What are the implications of all this? I’d love to hear your thoughts. | 77 comments on LinkedIn

New Research: AI vs. Human Coaches - Building Effective Working Relationships This study explores a fascinating question: Can AI coaches of the future build effective working relationships with clients comparable to human coaches? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Part of my dissertation research study at Teachers College, Columbia University was recently published in an Advancing Coaching Scholarship special issue alongside other prominent scholars. With AI increasingly entering human-centered spaces like coaching, this research offers early insight into its impact. Through a randomized controlled experiment, I found that people could establish strong connections with both simulated autonomous AI and human coaches in just a single hour-long session. The data showed comparable relationship quality metrics across both conditions, with individuals specifically valuing the collaborative, goal-oriented conversation regardless of coach type. Read the full study here to explore what this means for the future of coaching. #AICoaching https://lnkd.in/g4W7i8dx | 31 comments on LinkedIn

it's also reducing the wage premium of a college degree. This is why the #Superworker strategy is so urgent. https://lnkd.in/g8V9aHxN “Law firms lean on AI for paralegal work as consulting firms find that five 22-year-olds with ChatGPT can do the work of 20 recent grads." "Tech firms are turning over their software programming to a handful of superstars working with AI co-pilots." "The share of jobs posted on Indeed in software programming has declined by more than 50 percent since 2022." "And even if employers aren’t directly substituting AI for human workers, spending on AI infrastructure is crowding out spending on new hires.” | 172 comments on LinkedIn

Vernünftige deutsche Version ist auch mit dabei 😁 Yeah! Die sehr praktische Audio-Zusammenfassung von NotebookLM ist jetzt in über 50 Sprachen verfügbar und deutsch ist auch dabei. Damit bist du in der Lage verschiedene Wissensquellen in vernünftiger deutsche Sprache zu konsumieren. Die Qualität der Aussprache und die Stabilität der Stimme sind auch richtig gut. Teilweise auch so gut, dass ich es nicht 100%ig von Menschen unterscheiden könnte. Google hat da einen guten Job gemacht. 👏🏻 🔵 Auch schon vorher möglich, aber nicht gut Ja, auch vorher war die Audio-Zusammenfassung auf Deutsch möglich, wenn man den Prompt angepasst hat. Gut war die Version aber nicht und die Aussprache teilweise nicht zu gebrauchen. Mit der offiziellen Unterstützung von anderen Sprachen klingt das Ganze schon wesentlich besser. 🔴 Wie findest du die deutsche Version? ------------------------------------------ 👉🏻 Mein KI-Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gy42ujUE ------------------------------------------ #ki #ai #notebooklm #genai

Becoming an "AI-FIRST COMPANY" - nach dem viralen Post von Shopify über das Thema der AI-First Mentalität, legt Duolingo nach und ich kann nur empfehlen die Argumente bzgl "...employees can “focus on creative work and real problems, not repetitive tasks.” etc sich anzuschauen. Die mutigsten Unternehmen erkennen Wendepunkte, bevor sie offensichtlich werden. 2012 setzte Duolingo auf Mobile-First, als andere noch in Desktop-Denken gefangen waren. Heute stehen wir vor einem ähnlichen Moment – dem KI-Paradigmenwechsel. Duolingo sieht KI nicht nur als Produktivitätstool, sondern als Schlüssel zur Mission. KI skaliert Inhalte, die sonst wesentlich aufwändiger zu produzieren wären. Zum ersten Mal ist Unterricht auf dem Niveau der besten menschlichen Lehrer in Reichweite. Die klaren strukturellen Änderungen zeigen den echten Transformationswillen: _KI-Kompetenz als Einstellungs- und Leistungskriterium _Personalwachstum wo Automatisierung keine Option ist Am wichtigsten: Diese Transformation stellt Menschen in den Mittelpunkt. Es geht nicht darum, Mitarbeiter zu ersetzen, sondern sie von Routineaufgaben zu befreien und ihre Kreativität zu entfesseln – unterstützt durch Schulungen und Mentoring. In einer Zeit, in der noch so viele Unternehmen zögern, macht Duolingo bereits den nächsten Sprung. Eine kleine Erinnerung daran, dass wahre Innovatoren keine Angst vor Veränderung haben – sie sind diejenigen, die den Wandel willkommen heißen, bevor er zur Notwendigkeit wird. Ein paar wichtigen Stellen des offiziellen Announcements hier: "AI is already changing how work gets done. It’s not a question of if or when. It’s happening now. When there’s a shift this big, the worst thing you can do is wait. ... this time the platform shift is AI. AI isn’t just a productivity boost. It helps us get closer to our mission... Being AI-first means we will need to rethink much of how we work. Making minor tweaks to systems designed for humans won’t get us there. In many cases, we’ll need to start from scratch. We’re not going to rebuild everything overnight, and some things-like getting AI to understand our codebase-will take time. However, we can’t wait until the technology is 100% perfect. We’d rather move with urgency and take occasional small hits on quality than move slowly and miss the moment. ... Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees. This isn’t about replacing Duos with AI. It’s about removing bottlenecks so we can do more with the outstanding Duos we already have. We want you to focus on creative work and real problems, not repetitive tasks. We’re going to support you with more training, mentorship, and tooling for AI in your function. Change can be scary, but I’m confident this will be a great step for Duolingo. It will help us better deliver on our mission — and for Duos, it means staying ahead of the curve in using this technology to get things done."

This week I detail the whole story: how the $360 billion corporate learning market is being blown up by AI.This tidal wave has now arrived, with every major ...

Key findings: - STEM students, particularly in Computer Science, are early adopters of AI tools like Claude, accounting for 36.8% of conversations despite representing only 5.4% of U.S. bachelor's degrees. - Students interact with AI in four primary ways: Direct Problem Solving, Direct Output Creation, Collaborative Problem Solving, and Collaborative Output Creation, each occurring at similar rates. - Claude is mainly used for creating and improving educational content (39.3%), technical explanations (33.5%), and higher-order cognitive functions like Creating (39.8%) and Analyzing (30.2%). Students are not just seeking quick answers; they're using AI as a collaborative tool to enhance their learning journey. This trend highlights the transformative potential of AI in higher education. And it shows: students are smarter than many teachers think or fear. I also liked this graphic which however is also nice marketing showing Claude being used for higher order thinking via creation something new… which is the strength of LLMs obviously. #AIinEducation #HigherEducation #STEM #Innovation #FutureofLearning

The more clear and direct your prompt, the better the response. ➜ Break Down Complex Tasks: If you're working on something complicated, ask GPT-4.1 to “think step by step.” It helps the model give more accurate and thoughtful answers. ➜ Use Structure: If you need to share a lot of info, use clear structure—like markdown or bullet points. This helps GPT-4.1 understand and organize the info better. ➜ Format Your Prompts with Clear Sections: Structure your prompts for easier comprehension:   - Role and Objective   - Instructions (with subcategories)   - Reasoning Steps   - Output Format   - Examples   - Final instructions ➜ Put Important Instructions at the Start and End: For longer prompts, put your key instructions both at the beginning and the end. This helps the model stay on track. ➜ Guide It with Reminders: If you're designing a workflow or solving a problem, include reminders like “keep going until it’s fully resolved” or “plan carefully before acting.” This keeps the model focused. ➜ Use the Token Window Wisely: GPT-4.1 can handle a huge amount of text, but too much at once can slow it down. Be strategic about how much context you provide. ➜ Balance Internal and External Knowledge: For factual questions, tell GPT-4.1 to either “only use the provided context” or to mix that context with general knowledge.

I've covered an explainer of AI agents for non-techies before, see the comments for a link to that. For most non-techies, AI is viewed as one entity doing every thing on its own. With agents, we can create a team of specialists. That’s the idea behind multi-agent AI systems This image (from the brilliant folks at LangGraph) shows different ways you can set up teams of AI “agents.” Think of each agent like a little digital worker with a specific role - one plans, another checks facts, one executes tasks, and another reviews the results. Like any good team, they talk to each other, share ideas, and back each other up. Now, let's explain that image: 1️⃣ Single Agent This is your classic setup with one AI model doing all the work. It can use tools, but it’s working solo. Smart, but overworked. 2️⃣ Network Here, agents all talk to each other like a group chat. Everyone’s sharing, checking, and helping out. Great for collaboration, but can get noisy. 3️⃣ Supervisor This is the manager model where one central AI supervises others. It gives instructions and checks in. A bit like a project lead guiding a team. 4️⃣ Supervisor as Tools Flip it around: the main AI treats the others as tools. It doesn’t chat with them it just uses them to get stuff done. Efficient, but not very democratic. 5️⃣ Hierarchical This is like an org chart. Big boss on top, middle managers below, then the doers. Neat, structured, scalable. 6️⃣ Custom Everything everywhere all at once. No strict structure—just doing what works to get the job done. It can look a bit messy, but it’s great for handling tricky tasks that don’t fit in a neat box. → So why does this matter? Traditional AI is like having one brain trying to do everything. But now, we can build teams of AIs, each focused on a task—planning, checking, executing, or reviewing. Multi-agent systems might sound like Sci-Fi but they're already at work today. ↳ Image Credit: Google Agents Companion & LangGraph Multi-agent systems 📔 Source: Agents Companion Report 2025 by Google #education #artificialintelligence #learninganddevelopment

2023: „AI wird meinen Job ersetzen.“ 2024: „AI ist mein Copilot.“ 2025: „AI ersetzt keine Freundschaft. Aber manchmal hilft sie beim Denken.“ Super spannendes Lesefutter von der Harvard Business Review. Marc Zao-Sanders hatte sich nach 12 Monaten seinen Artikel aus 2024 wieder angeschaut und ein Update veröffentlicht, wie viele von uns inzwischen wirklich mit Gen AI Tools arbeiten. Spoiler: Der Hype ist vorbei – und das ist gut so. Denn es wird super konkret: _Führungskräfte nutzen GPTs zur Strategieentwicklung. _Manager bauen sich ihre eigenen Helferlings. _Entwickler sparen 56 % Zeit beim Coden. _Teams automatisieren repetitive Tasks – und schaffen Raum für Kreativität. Die Grenze zwischen „Business Use Case“ und „Private Use Case“ verschwimmt zunehmend. Workflows, die am Küchentisch anfangen und in der Vorstandsetage landen. Die spannendste Erkenntnis: Der meistgenutzte GenAI-Use-Case 2025 ist - Nicht Coding. Nicht Präsentationen. Nicht Strategie. Sondern: Therapie. 🧠 Gespräche mit Chatbots über Stress, Selbstzweifel, Sinnfragen. 📓 Journaling mit KI als stillem Gegenüber. 🪞Selbstreflexion – strukturiert, aber menschlich.

Dass wir in einer Welt leben, in der vielen genau das fehlt: ein geschützter Raum zum Denken, Reden, Fühlen. Und dass KI vielleicht nicht nur Arbeit, sondern auch Zugang demokratisiert – zu Support, der vorher unerschwinglich war. 🌀 Vielleicht ist das die eigentliche Disruption.
