Most organizations approaching AI are struggling and running pilot projects that go nowhere. The common assumption is that the technology itself is flawed, over hyped, or too complex. However, the employers that are succeeding with AI have discovered something different. The technology isn't the problem, and the real barriers are human. Employee resistance, fear about job security, and the inertia of doing things the way they've always been done. What makes the difference between AI projects that fail and those that transform how teams actually work? My guest this week is Taylor Bradley, VP Talent Strategy & Success at Turing. In our conversation, Taylor shares how he built grassroots adoption in his team by starting with simple prompt libraries, the framework for deciding what should be automated, what should be augmented, and what should be left to humans, and why every AI project is really a human change management project in disguise.. In the interview, we discuss: Unlocking AI's full potential The most significant challenges when implementing AI in HR and TA Why AI pilots fail AI projects are actually human change management projects The inertia of the status quo Talent use cases When to augment and when to automate Breaking down roles into tasks Surprising measures of success How HR and TA roles need to evolve Considering adverse impacts What will the future look like?

Big Four accounting firms are racing to integrate next-generation AI technology across their service lines and develop a talent strategy to match the industry's new era. KPMG is focused on making sure it's balancing efficiency gains because of artificial intelligence with long-term workforce development, according to Sandy Torchia, vice chair of talent and culture at KPMG US. The firm has created new learning opportunities for workers to teach them how to use AI to enhance career growth, she said. Like its competitors, KPMG has rolled out new autonomous AI that can accomplish tasks with minimal human intervention. The industry's next generation is taking note. The vast majority of KPMG's US interns expect at least 20% of their work to be automated by AI by the time they start full-time positions, according to the firm's recent survey. Torchia, who is also head of people for KPMG's Americas region, recently stepped into a new role as global co-head of people for KPMG International. She spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons about how KPMG is helping employees adapt to an AI-led future, as well as the state of hybrid work and the CPA pipeline.

Lightsabers and Laptops: One Woman's Journey to Self-AcceptanceWhat happens when a 30-year corporate veteran decides to reinvent herself as an entrepreneur? Julie Thiel's journey from HR executive to founder of Thiel Talent Strategy reveals the profound transformation that occurs when we dare to align our work with our deepest values.Julie's wake-up call came during her daughter's junior year of high school. While negotiating compensation deals on her phone at softball tournaments, she realized she was missing precious moments that would never return. This epiphany sparked a complete reassessment of her relationship with work and motherhood—one that would eventually lead her to entrepreneurship.The conversation dives deep into the unexpected challenges of the corporate-to-entrepreneur transition. While Julie assumed her extensive HR expertise would be her greatest asset, she discovered that mindset became the true game-changer. "I had to unlearn hierarchical thinking," she explains, describing how she initially evaluated networking contacts through a corporate lens of authority and position. Learning to approach every conversation as an equal opened doors to authentic connections that transformed her business.Particularly moving is Julie's candid discussion of her IVF journey and how that experience taught her the power of surrender. The pain of wanting something desperately—a child—while facing circumstances beyond her control parallels the vulnerability of entrepreneurship. Through meditation and deep reflection, Julie reached a place of acceptance that whatever happened would be right. This hard-won wisdom continues to guide her business decisions today.For working mothers wrestling with guilt and perfectionism, Julie's message is liberating: "I had to accept being an average dog owner and sometimes an average housekeeper to be fully present for what truly matters." Her daughter's recent graduation and departure for college validates this approach—the moments missed on field trips pale in comparison to the strong relationship they've built.Julie's enthusiasm for her "geeky" interests like Star Wars and lightsaber battle leagues reflects her growing comfort with authenticity. "There was a time I would have worried what people would think," she laughs, "but now I'm like, this is fun, so I'm going to do it." This same fearless authenticity fuels her business approach, attracting clients who value her unique perspective.Want to recreate your relationship with work, motherhood, and self-expectation? Julie's journey offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to build a life where work enhances rather than diminishes our most precious connections.
