Find out more and sign up at https://inventium.com.au/genai-cohort/ *** If you’re wrestling with Gen AI prompts - getting outputs that are “just okay” and wasting time going back and forth, you’re probably doing it wrong. Neo Aplin, Inventium’s Gen AI expert, calls this “gunslinging.” It’s a fast-and-loose approach that leads to mediocre results. The smarter way? It’s called “architecting”- a method that helps you co-create with AI for complex tasks like strategy papers, training workshops, and reports. In this episode, Neo breaks down how to use architecting to get AI working like a true thinking partner and not just a text generator. We discuss: Why “gunslinging” leads to frustration and wasted time How to “architect” your AI prompts for better results The types of tasks where architecting will supercharge your work Tips for using architecting with tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot Key quotes: “Most people are gunslingers - they shoot from the hip and hope for the best.” “Architecting is like designing a house before you build it. It makes the whole process faster, smoother, and way more effective.” “If you want AI to work as a true thinking partner, you need to co-create with it - not just give it a prompt and hope for the best.” My latest book The Health Habit is out now.

If you've listened to How I Work for a while, you've definitely heard me talk about the Four Day Week, and how much we love it at Inventium. But if you want to implement the practice at your own organisation, you probably have a lot of questions… Doesn't a four day week just mean longer working days? Should everyone take the same day off, or is it better to stagger? And of course, how do you know if the practice is suited to your business?  In a recent virtual Ask-Me-Anything, I sat down with Inventium's Head of Consulting, Zoe Aitken, and a remote crowd of curious workers to answer all these questions and more. We cover everything from common problems and workarounds to highly specific case studies and experiments we've run at Inventium, so if you've ever wondered how the Four Day Week works, this is for you.  If you're looking for any of the resources we mentioned in the live conversation, you can find them below:  Perpetual Guardian: The Four Day Week is Here Freedom.to Measure What Matters by John Doerr How to run a Four Day Week experiment Andrew Barnes' TED Talk on the Four Day Week *** My new book Time Wise is out now.

Have you heard of the Hybrid Paradox?  Since the pandemic, a huge portion of knowledge workers have moved to some form of hybrid working arrangement, whether it's working from home one day a week, or almost all the time. And there's been a tonne of benefits: setting our own schedules, working to our bodies' natural rhythms, greater control of our environment… But do you ever just really, really miss seeing your team every day? That's the Hybrid Paradox.  And at my consultancy, Inventium, we're loving our remote-first arrangement, but we've still been feeling the sting of the Hybrid Paradox. So, naturally, our team of organisational psychologists decided to run some experiments.  Inventium's Head of New Product Development, Charlotte Rush, breaks down the five experiments we ran in 2022, and teaches you how to implement in your own organisation.  Connect with Charlotte on LinkedIn or at Inventium's website If you want to learn more about building an awesome remote culture, check out Inventium's virtual masterclass *** My new book Time Wise is out now.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages I'm just back from an extended visit to Australia, and as a farewell treat I took my family out to a fancy dinner. I'm a vegetarian but I decided to take them to a high-end steakhouse. I chose to go there for two reasons: first, most of them are committed carnivores; and second, I knew most of them hadn't had the experience of the theater and rituals that come with a classic steakhouse. Not only was the food great, but I also ran a little pub quiz as dinner unfolded, creating a delightful sense of engagement, competition and bonhomie. At the end of the night, I truly felt like I had accomplished my goal – to create a special memory with the people I love.  Amantha Imber is a speaker, the host of Australia's #1 business podcast, and a freshly-printed author. The foundation for all of that is actually her training as an organizational psychologist, helping people do better work and feel better at work.

It's not just about getting the job done when we're working hybridly, it's about the connections we make. And this has been lost when we're working from home, and this is making us feel lonely. In the second part of our hybrid work feature, we look at how hybrid work can leave us feeling lonely and disconnected, and what we can do about it.   Guests: Mark Mortensen - Associate Professor, INSEAD Dr Caroline Knight - Research Fellow, Curtin University's Future of Work Institute Sasha D'Arcy - Psychologist and ‘Inventiologist' at Inventium

Hybrid is here to stay. So, what is pandemic-driven hybrid work doing to our ability to focus and what do we need to do to find that elusive flow state in this brave new world of work? In the first part of our hybrid work feature, we look at hybrid work and our level of focus when working from home, compared to in the office, and along the way we'll bust some myths and get some attention hacks.   Guests: Sue Williamson - Associate Professor of Human Resource Management in the School of Business at UNSW, Canberra Katherine Johnson - Associate Professor in Psychology in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne Sasha D'Arcy - Psychologist and ‘Inventiologist' at Inventium

Since the start of the pandemic, the global take-up of the four-day work week has accelerated. We first looked into the pros and cons of the four-day work week back in 2020 when it was very much in its early days in Australia.

We get the latest on what is and isn't working in this global workplace experiment and what we can learn from the early adopters.   Guests: Andrew Barnes – Founder, Perpetual Guardian and 4 Day Week Global Alex Pang – Founder, Strategy and Rest Nikki Beaumont - Founder and CEO, Beaumont People Kath Blackham – Founder and CEO, Versa Sasha D'Arcy – Four-day-week employee at Inventium

If your work-life-love-laugh-balance has changed during the past couple of years (um, hello everyone!) and looking down the barrel of 2022 raises all kinds of questions, then hook in to FORTY with the oh-so-wise and delightful Dr Amantha Imber. Personally, Amantha unpacks how dating in her forties is so vastly different to the pressure of dating in her twenties, and why turning 44 triggered an emotional mother-daughter connection. Professionally, Amantha studies people. As an organisational psychologist and founder of world-renowned behavioural science consultancy Inventium, she has challenged and innovated long before a global pandemic made us question the status quo around our work lives. Unlimited annual leave, full-time pay/four-day working week, and remote-first offices are a few examples of how she is an absolute game-changer. She throws multi-tasking out the window, knocks decision-fatigue on the head, and so much more. It's unsurprising Disney and Google and Harvard Business Review and Forbes and Women of Influence lists have all tapped her on the shoulder to share her smarts. And now, Amantha shares them on FORTY.
