Unser heutiger Gast hat Betriebswirtschaft und Psychologie studiert und ist bereits seit 17 Jahren bei Gallup tätig. In dieser Zeit hat er sich als Managing Partner besonders auf die Gestaltung einer gesunden Arbeits- und Führungskultur spezialisiert. Als Berater, Coach und Trainer gilt er als einer der wichtigsten Vorreiter, wenn es darum geht, Unternehmen weltweit erfolgreicher und gleichzeitig menschlicher zu machen. Normalerweise erscheint unser Podcast montags, doch diesmal kommt die Folge an einem Mittwoch. Der Grund: Am 23.04. veröffentlicht Gallup den aktuellen Bericht zum „State of the Global Workforce“. Wir haben es uns nicht nehmen lassen, dieses Ereignis zum Anlass zu nehmen, unseren Gast erneut an Bord zu holen, immerhin ist er zum dritten Mal bei On the Way to New Work zu Besuch und zum zweiten Mal bei Zoomer meets Boomer. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In fast 500 Gesprächen haben wir mit über 600 Menschen darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Warum ist das Thema „State of the Global Workforce“ gerade jetzt so wichtig und relevant für uns alle? Welche zentralen Erkenntnisse oder Trends können wir aus dem diesjährigen Bericht mitnehmen – und was bedeuten sie für Führungskräfte und Teams? Wie gelingt es Unternehmen weltweit, aus den Studienergebnissen konkrete Maßnahmen abzuleiten und erfolgreich umzusetzen? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr hört On the Way to New Work – heute mit Pa M.K. Sinyan und in einer ganz besonderen Collaboration-Folge mit Zoomer meets Boomer also auch mit Oskar Trautmann.

When reports like Adecco's Global Workforce of the Future survey find that the average saving for workers using AI is 1 hour a day, we should question this. * What did those workers do with their time savings? * Should that time savings benefit the employer or the employee?* Can we trust such a hard-to-measure stat?Our latest episode tackles this and other disruptions happening to the creative and production processes. Matthew Krissel is the Co-Founder of the Built Environment Futures Council and a Principal at Perkins&Will. For over two decades, he has led transformative architectural projects across North America and internationally. We discussed how AI is disrupting architecture and lessons for digital product teams. He really struck powerful points many times during our conversation about questioning the role of time and permanence in a world when we want more, faster.Other points covered in the conversation:* Commoditizing design makes production easier, enabling societies to tackle challenges like housing shortfalls* Commoditizing design devalues other vital processes, like community engagement, respectful place-making, and longevity of projects* Over-indexing AI's potential as a workflow optimizer, while under-indexing the potential to reimagine how complex projects are planned and operationalizedListen on Spotify | Listen on Apple PodcastsIn this newsletter, I'd like to tackle the concept of time saving and what it means from the perspective of crafting an AI strategy. Here was the most important quote from the episode: So just because something took half the time it did before, what happened is we just did more. So we just filled the time. Is there something higher and better use? I suspect that somewhere along the line the designs got better. Also I suspect that somewhere along there was diminishing returns. We were just doing more because we could not that it was actually yielding anything better.  Are you gonna focus on fewer, but better increase your quality? Are you going to spend more time on business development or some entrepreneurial side hustle? Just go home early? What you decide to do as we start to gain productivity time is going to shape a lot of where this is all happening.Newsletter recommendation: Scott BelskyEssential insights and lessons from Scott Belsky that anyone building with AI must read. His newsletter is fantastic and a must-subscribe because of his unique cross-section of expertise across creativity, product, and innovation. His books have also always been pivotal reads to advance your craft. Hopefully, we can do some of the same with our Design of AI podcast and newsletter. Who should benefit most from your ability to learn AI: You or your employer?The challenge to creatives and builders is to decide who should benefit from these transformative technologies if you're self-taught:* Should you gift your employer the benefits if you've taught yourself ways of getting 25% more work accomplished in a day?* Should you gift yourself the benefits of your increased productivity and work on side projects, or spend more time with your family?Historically speaking, employers were responsible for the means and training of production. They paid for novel technologies —desktops, SaaS, big data— and were responsible for training you on how to use them. AI is different because employers are often lagging behind employees in embracing and educating on how to use the technology effectively. It is very easy to argue that the 200 hours you've spent learning AI outside of work hours should exclusively benefit you.AI Time Savings: Benefits & RisksTechnologies have consistently saved us time, but the resulting effects have been questionable. The internet and mobile phones connected the world, while also leading to increased poor health outcomes due to more time sitting. We also spend more time alone than ever.Further back, the Industrial Revolution raised the quality of life for everyone. Still, the commoditization of work led to industrialists exploiting child labour and putting everyone into deplorable working conditions that polluted communities. The time the workforce saved most benefited employers, with employees giving up their ways of life in favour of steady incomes. Most relocated to cities, got cut off from their families, and learned the pain of commuting for the first time.When it comes to AI, the benefits we hope for centre on automation and augmentation. The hope is that we will benefit from less shitty work (automated away) and that we can our new capabilities (augmented by AI) will enable us all become wealthy entrepreneurs. Sure, this may be true for the top 0.01% of AI users who learn how to run a typically 10-person business by themselves. For the rest of us our work may in fact get a lot shittier. At least that's what the authors of the upcoming book, The AI Con, believe. The authors (and upcoming Design of AI guests), Alex Hanna and Emily M. Bender tell a tale of how AI's risks have been severely hidden under the rug. In their book, they document many examples of the technology performing so poorly at tasks that products were shut down within weeks.Maybe the future of businesses will look a lot like Amazon: A business offering endless products of questionable quality and provenance with no humans in sight except those working the worst possible jobs in sorting information, like something out of Severance. In this scenario, the majority of humans will be employed as mall cops of the technology, swooping in when a problem happens that slips between the programming and policies. At this point, AI hypers would argue that even if the enshittification of work is inevitable, AI will open up new and better types of jobs. Only time will tell. How does AI change our relationship with time?When buying productivity-boosting hardware and software, the expectation has always been that the results are undeniable. Going from handwriting to using a typewriter was immensely faster. The same is true when buying a new Saas platform that makes managing projects infinitely easier. Now, with GenAI-powered products, the ROI is unpredictable. The vast majority of capabilities deliver the illusion of rapid progress. Think of image and video generation —the immediate results are shockingly impressive. But getting results to be production-ready requires mastery of probabilistic software and/or resetting your expectations. It all means that the operator —you— ultimately plays a bigger role in the ROI of using this technology than with previous ones.So-called Vibe coding is a major testament to the time savings that AI can create. Anyone can now build a website and app without writing a line of code.Vibe coding platforms —like Cursor, Lovable, Replit, and many more— are fantastically easy to use… until they're absolutely painful to use. The stunning early rewards turn into confusingly broken components all over.Again, results depend on the operator's ability to debug using an entirely new interface paradigm (conversational). This continues the technology's remarkable inversion of the value paradigm, where workers define the quality of outputs.Looking ahead, mastery of data will triumph over mastery of interfaces. This favours employers who unlock the power of their first-party data and build solutions that augment and automate the expertise of their employees.Always worth reading, strategist and tech critic Tom Goodwin posted an intriguing analysis on LinkedIn this week. At the core of the guiding philosophy regarding AI-assistance is that the more complex the task, the less qualified AI is to work on the task unassisted.Check our previous podcast episode and newsletter for more details on how to unlock the power of your data.

Advise secures €1.55M funding and plans to expand global workforce

Advise, the data, analytics and AI platform provider helping retail manufacturers and brand owners to unlock revenues and margin growth, has announced that it has raised €1.55M in funding as it continues its aggressive international growth. Following a year of 250% growth in revenue, the funding will be used to support the company's global expansion plans, which will see Advise double its headcount in the next 12 to 18 months. Despite a turbulent few years - exacerbated by Brexit, COVID-19 and geopolitical uncertainty -the global consumer goods market has continued to grow year-on-year, helped by a focus on digital transformation to meet changing market needs. Advise's growth has been inspired by this movement as manufacturers seek data-driven solutions for their operations, which can lead to margin growth and better, data-driven pricing strategies with retailers. These can include new product development, promotional and non-promotional pricing, and discounts and offers. Advise, the trading name for RecommenderX, was founded by Dr Kevin McCarthy and John Phelan. The company has developed an AI-powered SaaS platform that harmonises sales, inventory and customer data from multiple sources - making it the go-to platform for easily accessible, accurate data analytics. In doing so, it provides manufacturers and brand owners - such as Pilgrims Europe, Dr Oetker (Ireland) and Britvic - with the actionable insights needed to grow their market share and plan mutually beneficial pricing strategies for retailers and consumers. It also gives manufacturers the ability to compare product performance across retailers and benchmark themselves against competitors - therefore ensuring they are making the best possible returns. Advise's funding round was led by Business Venture Partners (BVP) through their EIIS fund and supported by existing investors, including ACT Venture Capital, Elkstone, Enterprise Ireland, and a group of private investors. The investment will help Advise to meet, and capitalise on, the rise in demand for its platform by increasing its presence in Ireland, the UK and the US. Maintaining its focus on an intuitive user experience and speed to insights, the company will pursue its expansion plan with a greater focus on sales and marketing in each location, along with a larger development team. The new roles, which will be located in all three markets, will be in the areas of sales, engineering and data science. Dr Kevin McCarthy, CEO and co-founder, Advise, said: "For decades, retailers have been leveraging their data to determine product pricing strategies, while manufacturers have lacked the insights to have any meaningful influence. With pressure on retailers to consistently drive down consumer costs - especially now amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis - this can leave manufacturers with no bargaining chips and very low margins. "Our easy-to-use AI platform democratises and simplifies the data analytics process and will drive greater competition in retail. It addresses a previously unmet need, and the new funding reflects a market confidence in this solution. The investment, and our partnerships with our investors, will be critical in bringing Advise to the next stage of our journey." Andrew McGreal, Investment Director, Business Venture Partners (BVP), said: "Retailers and their manufacturers operate in a traditional industry, but with a very complex data ecosystem. Historically, this combination made data analytics and the ability to unearth actionable insights at pace a challenge. The Advise platform, built specifically for this purpose and industry, enables better decisions and lightning speed to reveal real insights at a low cost of ownership. It's a game changer for the industry. We have been hugely impressed by the team in Advise and what they have built so far and are thrilled to be supporting their plans for expansion."

Have you ever felt like you are not connecting with someone and the barrier that stands in the way is cultural? It might be that the jokes you crack don't land, the emails you send seem to miss the mark, or the way you lead meetings doesn't resonate with everyone in the room. It can be like trying to tune into a radio station but finding yourself between frequencies, where everything just sounds like static. This is a common experience in today's global workforce, where teams are more diverse than ever, spanning across different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Andy Molinky is a psychology Professor at Brandeis University and an expert in the field of intercultural relationship-building.

Welcome to episode #922 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #922. When work changes, we look to people like John Winsor. John is a truly visionary leader and a driving force behind the open talent movement. As an entrepreneur, thought leader, and global authority on the future of work, open talent and remote work. John's contributions have significantly shaped our understanding and approach to modern employment paradigms. John's role as executive-in-residence at Harvard Business School's Laboratory for Innovation Science (LISH) underscores his commitment to exploring the cutting-edge intersections of AI, workforce transformation strategies, and the open talent ecosystem. Through his company, Open Assembly, John has cultivated a content-rich community and strategic advisory services that empower organizations, individuals, and platforms to co-create the future of work together. A pioneer in the open talent and innovation industry, John has spearheaded a global coalition to establish The Center for the Transformation of Work. This ambitious initiative aims to redefine work for a billion people by 2025, showcasing John's dedication to creating more accessible and equitable work opportunities worldwide. John's journey from founding the groundbreaking open advertising agency, Victors & Spoils, to his pivotal roles at Havas and Crispin, Porter + Bogusky (where we first met), illustrates a career marked by innovation and disruption. His expertise in co-creation and open strategy (like using user generated content and influencers long before everybody else) has not only transformed the advertising world, but also provided a blueprint for organizational success in the digital age. In his latest book, Open Talent - Leveraging the Global Workforce to Solve Your Biggest Challenges, John brings his decades of insights into the open talent model for all of us to discover. The book challenges traditional employment models and offers a radical roadmap for leveraging the global crowd. John is a prolific author, including books like Baked In, Flipped, Spark and Beyond The Brand. In this episode, John delves into the essence of open talent, examining its potential to reshape the way we think about work, the gig economy, and the critical role of culture and continuous learning within this new paradigm. He emphasizes the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset and the transformative power of networks in navigating the open talent landscape. From the impact of generative AI to addressing concerns about economic volatility, John's insights provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the shift towards task-based work. He also highlights the significance of community and team-building in an open talent framework. John's contributions to the discourse on the future of work offer an inspiring and pragmatic vision for embracing open talent.

This week's music: David Usher 'St. Lawrence River'. Takeaways: The future of work is shifting towards an open talent model, where individuals have the freedom to work on specific tasks and projects rather than being tied to traditional roles. Companies need to adapt to this new model by rethinking their organizational structures, embracing remote work, and creating platforms that connect talent with opportunities. Continuous learning and upskilling are crucial in an open talent world, as individuals need to stay relevant and adaptable to changing demands. Culture and branding remain important, but they should be focused on attracting and retaining talent based on the value and opportunities the organization provides.  Platforms play a crucial role in connecting skilled individuals with opportunities in the open talent market. Generative AI has the potential to significantly impact the open talent landscape, enabling faster and more efficient task completion. Concerns about economic collapse and commoditization arise in the open talent market. Team building and community remain important in an open talent framework, fostering collaboration and connection. Work should be seen as an aspect of life, and individuals should derive their self-worth and identity from a broader range of experiences and relationships.

The rapid pace of technological change is making a big impact on hiring. Some organizations are dynamically securing freelance workers through platform apps like Upwork and Freelancer. Other companies are investing heavily in work enabled by artificial intelligence. John Winsor and Jin Paik say these structural changes call for a reimagining of your talent strategy — one that is open to flexible, project-based work for talent inside or outside your organization — and they explain how to go about it. Winsor is the founder and chair of Open Assembly and an executive-in-residence at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard. Paik is a cofounder and managing partner at the AI consultancy Altruistic and a visiting research scientist at Harvard Business School.
