Two experts on human capital and work provide a practical framework for
addressing the leadership and organizational challenges of automation.
- Of all the books available on automation and artificial intelligence,
this book provides the most "on the ground level" view on what leaders
need to do to proactively drive the changes in how work gets done in
their organizations.
- Explains how automation requires organizations to rethink what a "job"
really is and how it should be structured, in much the same way that
Hammer and Champy's "reengineering the corporation" forced
organizations to rethink how a "business process" should be
structured.
- Helps leaders cut through all the noise and hype around automation,
AI, and robotics, and helps them become more capable of applying
various types of work automation and AI to jobs in their organizations
with a structured 4-step approach
- Explains the three ways that jobs can be automated--robotic process
automation, cognitive automation, and social robotics--and shows how
each technology fits a different kind of work and has different
implications for jobs and for the organization
Audience:
- Leaders in all industries and functions who want to understand how to
employ AI to improve performance and drive change in how work gets
done in their organizations.
- HR professionals and organization consultants.
- Anyone in organizations who wants to understand how their work and
jobs may change.
