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. This helps you get the most accurate results. 𝗜𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗣𝗧-4.1 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿.

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. Laut HBR ist „mentale Gesundheit“ als Use Case für GenAI noch vor Business Productivity. Tools wie ChatGPT weniger Roboter als Spiegel. 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.

Very few companies I've encountered have been so direct and clear on "How we expect you to use AI at x company". I think this move empowers and allays the fears of those who are already using AI on the side. That's a big hurdle already cleared. One which can really amplify adoption. There's some bits I'm not sold on (looking at you point 5), yet, what I really liked here is the focus on learning together. What's clear for Shopify employees is: - They have access to AI tools - They have the endorsement to experiment and explore - They're actively being given places to share ideas and lessons - They know leveraging is a key skill for today and the future If you want to build these mythical learning cultures we all talk abt, you need more action like this. Often, people know what to do but until you open the door to that path as a company, you'll probably stagnate. Anyway, that's my two cents. → How are you approaching the mandate of AI at work?

I got a message last week that stopped me mid doom-scroll. "I just saw a video of an AI agent taking a test for someone. Aren't you worried about that?" Honestly? No. But probably not for the reason you'd expect. I've spent nearly 20 years in learning and education. I've seen trends, fads, and enough terrible multiple-choice quizzes to last a lifetime. The AI agent didn't scare me. The fact that this is still how we assess skills? That did. If your entire measurement of understanding relies on picking answers from lists, of course an AI can game it. So could a cheat sheet. So could your colleague who's got a memory like an elephant. This isn't about AI cheating the system. It's about the system being easy to cheat because it's broken. ❌ We don't need better tests. → We need a better approach. If we confirm 'skills' and 'understanding' through quizzes, then it's all just a game of who has the best memory, not who understands how to apply knowledge. I know millions of institutions and corporate learning experiences worship at the altar of the almighty multiple choice exam as the measurement stick for human intelligence, skills and expertise. ↳ Doesn't mean it's right. That's where AI can actually help. Not as a cheat code, but as a coach. To challenge, to question, to uncover the "how" behind your answer. In tomorrow's Steal These Thoughts! newsletter, I'll show you an AI-powered approach that could transform how we validate skills and knowledge, and help you build more meaningful assessment experiences.

Implementing AI isn't just about integrating new technology. It's about transforming the way people work. Without a structured change management approach, AI initiatives can face resistance, underperformance, and missed opportunities. Here are the key success factors for good AI change management: ✅ Clear vision and purpose: Define the goals and benefits of AI in your company. Make it aspiring. ✅ Strong leadership: Leaders must champion the change and guide their teams. Don't forget to communicate clear expectations. ✅ Effective communication: Regular updates and transparency to manage expectations and take away fear. ✅ Evangelists: Elect "Pro users" in each department to provide instant support. ✅ Training and development: Equip your team with the skills needed to leverage AI. ✅ AI platform: Ensure the platform has excellent UX to drive user adoption and engagement. UX is not UI! ✅ AI agents: Yes, this specific feature is key. Create and share AI agents that employees can use off the shelf. Significantly improves adoption! At Zive, it's our mission to make work efficient and enjoyable for everyone. We provide the best platform for it. But it doesn't work without good change management. Thankfully, we have amazing partners who support our customers with it. #AI #ChangeManagement #Leadership #Innovation #EmployeeEngagement #BusinessTransformation #UserExperience #AIagents | 18 comments on LinkedIn

Friends, this is the MOST IMPORTANT study on AI in 2025. The brilliant Ethan Mollick and team studied how AI impacts individuals and teams across Procter & Gamble- the results are stunning. Here’s what you need to know: The "Cybernetic Teammate" study was conducted in Summer 2024 by a research from Harvard and Wharton, in partnership with Procter & Gamble.  ++++++++++++++++++++ WHO WAS TESTED: The study involved 776 P&G professionals and replicated P&G's product development process across four business units. The experiment featured four distinct conditions: - Individuals working alone without AI - Individuals working alone with AI - Teams of two specialists (one commercial expert, one technical R&D expert) working without AI - Teams of two specialists working with AI ++++++++++++++++++++ KEY FINDINGS: INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE: AI improved individual performance by 37% TEAM PERFORMANCE: AI improved team performance by 39% BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS: Teams using AI were 3x more likely to produce solutions in top 10% of quality EFFICIENCY GAINS Individuals using AI completed tasks 16.4% faster than those without Teams with AI finished 12.7% faster than teams without AI OUTPUT QUALITY Despite working faster, AI-enabled groups produced substantially longer and more detailed solutions EXPERTISE AND COLLABORATION EFFECTS Breaking Down Silos!! Without AI: Clear professional silos existed — R&D specialists created technical solutions while Commercial specialists developed market-focused ideas With AI: Distinctions virtually disappeared — both types of specialists produced balanced solutions integrating technical and commercial perspectives EXPERIENCE LEVELING: Less experienced employees using AI performed at levels comparable to teams with experienced members EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE Positive Emotions: AI users reported significantly higher levels of excitement, energy, and enthusiasm Negative Emotions: AI users experienced less anxiety and frustration during work Individual Experience: People working alone with AI reported emotional experiences comparable to or better than those in human teams TEAM DYNAMICS Solution Types: Teams without AI showed a bimodal distribution (either technically or commercially oriented solutions) Balanced Input: AI appeared to reduce dominance effects, allowing more equal contribution from team members Consistency: Teams with AI showed more uniform, high-quality outputs compared to the variable results of standard teams We'll be talking about this study for a while. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ UPSKILL YOUR ORGANIZATION: When your company is ready, we are ready to upskill your workforce at scale.

The Hard Truth: AI (agents) aren't failing—data strategies are. AI Agents are only as effective as the data beneath them. Without governed, high-quality data, AI adoption becomes an expensive experiment instead of a strategic advantage. Important to fix the data first.

*** 🚨 Discussion Piece 🚨 *** Is it Time to Move Beyond Kirkpatrick & Phillips for Measuring L&D Effectiveness? Did you know organisations spend billions on Learning & Development (L&D), yet only 10%-40% of that investment actually translates into lasting behavioral change? (Kirwan, 2024) As Brinkerhoff vividly puts it, "training today yields about an ounce of value for every pound of resources invested." 1️⃣ Limitations of Popular Models: Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation and Phillips' ROI approach are widely used, but both neglect critical factors like learner motivation, workplace support, and learning transfer conditions. 2️⃣ Importance of Formative Evaluation: Evaluating the learning environment, individual motivations, and training design helps to significantly improve L&D outcomes, rather than simply measuring after-the-fact results. 3️⃣ A Comprehensive Evaluation Model: Kirwan proposes a holistic "learning effectiveness audit," which integrates inputs, workplace factors, and measurable outcomes, including Return on Expectations (ROE), for more practical insights. Why This Matters: Relying exclusively on traditional, outcome-focused evaluation methods may give a false sense of achievement, missing out on opportunities for meaningful improvement. Adopting a balanced, formative-summative approach could ensure that billions invested in L&D truly drive organisational success. Is your organisation still relying solely on Kirkpatrick or Phillips—or are you ready to evolve your L&D evaluation strategy? | 34 comments on LinkedIn
