AI is quickly and dramatically shifting the way we work. According to The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2023:
- 23% of global jobs will change in the next five years due to industry transformation, including through artificial intelligence and other text, image and voice processing technologies.
- 84% of C-level executives believe that they need to adopt and leverage artificial intelligence to drive growth objectives.
- Language capabilities overlap substantially with tasks performed on the job. Estimates suggest that up to 62% of work time involves language- based tasks.
At the same time, many leaders have a limited grasp on how AI can revolutionize their work, and thus they:
- Are not strategically leading their teams to evaluate and reengineer their work to take advantage of AI tools.
- Are waiting for top-down initiatives to implement AI.
- See AI as an independent technology instead of an enabling capability that can infuse their work.
- Are not sure about guidance, guardrails, and governance for using AI.
- Fear that if they don’t get ahead of the curve they will be left behind. In this, they are correct.
Leaders seeking a strategy to securely and systematically begin to activate its potential in their organization can find a path forward with Hi's learning programs and accompanying toolkit.
“We are tremendously excited to be partnering with the team at Hi to launch an entire new suite of learning experiences and tools helping leaders at all levels take advantage of AI to unleash the intelligence of their teams,” said Jonathan Hodge, Advantage president & CEO. “As our partners at Hi like to say, ‘AI isn’t going to take over the world, but people who know how to use AI will.’ “
“We hope our many friends, clients, and contacts will take advantage of these sessions with the Hi team not only to learn more about what they have developed but also the broader context of how AI is transforming our talent development landscape,” Hodge said.
Program developers/facilitators
Hi™ is the newest Advantage thought leader partner and the brainchild of co-founders Jim Perry, left, and Richard Hodge. Jim is a master learning designer and facilitator, author of the Multipliers simulation, and had a 17-year career with BTS, including leading key portions of the SAP flagship programs. Richard founded the Real Learning Company, was a co-founder of Advantage Performance Group, and is lead designer of the Collective Genius simulation.
Hi™ has key partnerships with Advantage Performance Group, USC Marshall (providing access to the Experiential Learning Center and USC faculty), and 1st90 (an innovative team specializing in the design of strategic, immersive, and impactful digital learning journeys).
“After decades of collaboration with the esteemed leadership and partners at Advantage Performance Group (APG), it was a natural choice for us to select them as our go-to-market partner,” said Perry.
“Advantage has consistently demonstrated their commitment to serving the unique needs of over 500 clients, earning numerous business impact awards from prestigious institutions such as Brandon Hall. Their approach, centered on representing cutting-edge suppliers, aligns seamlessly with our vision of enabling clients to achieve their peak performance,” Perry added.
“With a focus on learning journeys and a dedicated emphasis on measuring business impact, Advantage epitomizes excellence in driving organizational growth. We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to unite forces with their team and eagerly anticipate a future marked by shared accomplishments and sustained success," he said.
