An attention-getting McKinsey study estimated that most employees currently possess only 5% of the skills they will need in 3 years to stay relevant in the age of #AI (see: https://lnkd.in/gYNxDCzf). While critical, up-to-date skills are only one aspect of #agility success. Organizations need to a holistic talent development strategy to assure they can lead and learn with agility for a dynamic future.

It's become fashionable to say that one is "data-driven" 📊 and I'm guilty of saying that as well 👨🏻💻. How about becoming decision-driven? 🤔 While attending a Wharton Executive Education: Business Analytics Online presentation 🎓, I learned about the work of Professors Bart De Langhe & Stefano Puntoni. Their new book "Decision-Driven Analytics" is an excellent read 📙. Here's a link to my review and thoughts about their book -> https://lnkd.in/gwtUCQKW #leadership #analytics #datascience #decisionscience #marketing #ai #machinelearning

Earlier this week, we shared a mid-year update on the top priorities identified by Global Heads of Talent and Learning in 2024. Once again, I think the data shows something unique and important for us in L&D: business problems are still the priority, not tech for tech's sake. Leadership, Skills, and Culture are all key issues on par with or above AI. Not that AI isn't surging in importance, but it remains a means to an end, not an end in itself. I've been aggregating and analysing these stats now for three years for iVentiv and in that time I've only become more convinced about how important it is that we do so. It helps us to keep our events as relevant as possible, first and foremost, but it also gives us a unique perspective on the actual work being done by Global Heads. Not the work we think they should do or the work they think they might be doing in the future, but the real business problems they're tackling today. I put together a short blog about the numbers so far this year, with some quotes from the surveys to illustrate, and I'll be excited to show off the full year's report later in 2024.

"By viewing AI as a tool rather than a crutch, employees can maintain control over the technology and actively engage in complex problem-solving tasks." Neal Sample, a tech-focused business enhancer, board director, CIO, startup advisor, and executive coach, Angie (Nikolas) Emrey, the director of Tech Culture and Change Management at the Walgreens Boots Alliance, and Brad Winn, professor of leadership and strategy in the Huntsman School of Business and executive MBA Director at Utah State University, discuss the positive and negative effects of AI agents on critical thinking skills. bit.ly/3M8php2 #SHRM #Leadership 

🌟 Meet the Faces of D&M: Barbara Malrieu 🔹 Can you tell us more about your background and why you joined D&M? After 15 years in consulting, I began questioning traditional practices that hadn't changed, despite the rise of Big Data. Meeting Maurice NDiaye and Yannis Kavounis who had successfully piloted an AI-driven approach to strategy, convinced me that this is the future. At D&M, I found a diverse environment that fits my African childhood, traveler mindset, and feminist values. 🔹 What is your proudest achievement at D&M? In the past two years, we've built a cohesive team, developed a strong product value proposition, and implemented efficient processes. I’m proud of what we've accomplished together and excited for the future! 🔹 And besides your career, do you have any hobbies? I used to spend my free time backpacking and doing sports. Recently, I’ve rediscovered the joy of building Lego towers and marveling at my toddler's pranks! 🔹 What are some insights you’ve gained that you wish you knew earlier? I wish I had started earlier to strengthen my sense of self-worth. Leadership comes with bumps that can shake your confidence. Knowing your value, evaluating your actions objectively, and setting boundaries are key to growth and balance. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 🤩We loved getting these insights from Barbara and we hope you did too. Stay tuned to meet more of the incredible faces at Descartes & Mauss! #innovation #employeestories #interview #ai #stratechs #leadership #leaders #businessadvice #Q&A #D&M
