Josh Bersin and Aine deep dive into the impact of AI on the future of work.
In this conversation, Josh Bersin discusses the transformative impact of AI on learning and development (L&D) within organizations. He emphasizes the shift from traditional static courses to dynamic, personalized learning experiences facilitated by AI technologies. The discussion highlights the advantages for small businesses in leveraging AI tools for content creation and training, the challenges faced by traditional learning management systems, and the importance of ensuring content credibility in an AI-driven landscape. Bersin also provides insights for HR leaders on how to effectively adopt these new technologies and decentralize L&D efforts to better meet the needs of employees. Small businesses can leverage AI for cost-effective training solutions. Personalized learning experiences are the future of L&D. Traditional LMS platforms are struggling to adapt to AI advancements. Decentralization of L&D will lead to more relevant training. Content credibility is crucial in AI-generated learning materials. HR leaders should embrace AI tools without lengthy implementation plans. AI can quickly transform existing content into new learning formats. Cultural factors within organizations significantly influence success. AI is revolutionizing learning and development. Static courses are becoming obsolete in favor of dynamic content.

In this lively Chad and Cheese podcast episode, our courageous hosts tackle the recruitment world with wit and sarcasm. They mourn the downfall of job board giants CareerBuilder and Monster, now on the clearance rack, as private equity bean counters strip them bare. Chad laments their lack of vision, while Joel predicts three fates: a ZipRecruiter roll-up, a Recruit Holdings acquisition, or an international player snagging a cheap U.S. foothold. J.T. scoffs, saying job seekers hate these brands and job boards are dinosaurs. The trio then roasts Indeed's late-to-the-party conversational AI tools, with Chad calling them five years behind and Joel comparing Indeed's struggles to Apple's innovation slump. J.T. notes Indeed's trust issues, with scam texts spiking 500%. Meanwhile, SmartRecruiters' bold AI platform, Winston, earns praise for its forward-thinking pivot, unlike Workday's Josh Bersin propaganda machine and iCIMS' press-release snooze.

J.T. cheers the shift to monetizing knowledge, urging everyone to jump in, while Chad stresses the need for a business model to cash in.

In today's episode: Companies are analogous to societies: they work best when the organization strives to work for everyone, regardless of ambition, skill, and education. The human cost of layoffs is immense. When an arm of the business is failing, it may be worth redeploying and redeveloping employees: it shows faith and gives them a sense of confidence. Democratic processes can be slow, but they build consensus. That kind of momentum is powerful.

A company's culture is often very visible; whether it's oriented around competition, cost, innovation, or adaptability.
