In this podcast I reflect on five big things we didn\u2019t talk about much this year, and each falling into the \u201cHuman Capital\u201d agenda. We spent much of our year worrying about AI, agents, productivity, and jobs, largely putting the \u201cHuman Capital\u201d agenda on the back burner.<\/p>\n
While AI is certainly the defining technology of our times, there are human capital issues to consider. As I discuss, these \u201csoft\u201d issues help us address the \u201csocio-technological\u201d impacts of AI. There\u2019s no question that AI is amazing and it will change our lives. As business people, however, we need to remind ourselves of the human capital issues that matter too.<\/p>\n
PS: The impact of AI on the job market is already taking a toll. Younger workers are now experiencing much higher unemployment rate than tenured workers, largely because companies believe AI can replace apprenticeships. I\u2019m not a fan of this strategy but you can listen to this analysis<\/a> to understand.<\/p>\n Our big 2026 Imperatives report comes out in January, stay tuned.<\/p>\n Additional Information<\/p>\n The Dynamic Organization (the human capital strategies that matter during change)<\/a><\/p>\n The Collapse And Rebirth Of Online Learning And Professional Development<\/a><\/p>\n Human Centered Leadership (Galileo Learn program)<\/a><\/p>\n
