AI have the power

What is the purpose of tech in HR.. Very often those who oppose tech think the purpose of tech is to dehumanise, but in reality it is otherwise.

That means instead of seeing tech as a threat to our job and existence think how can it make life easier for our stakeholders?

For instance... Ensuring candidates get replies on time, enabling the right people to apply, building a metric for team capability and by ensuring small interactions are done well, build greater empathy in the system

How does tech increase empathy? Instead of sending an email to someone and that someone doesnt respond for whatever reason, having a bot, simply makes the job more painless.

Think of a bank. Back in the day, we had to go to the bank for every trivial thing. Now, by having a portal/app - you dont have to go and all your work is getting done. Isnt that better?

The question to ask therefore is what problem of the user are we solving for? Sometimes, we put that on us and try to solve our problem - which does not necessarily solve the problem for the user.

So, in an age where there is AI everywhere to parse the resumes of candidates of those who have applied, why not use it to guide people where to apply by parsing their resume at source or through Linkedin?

Why not use AI to ensure every candidate gets a reply on the stage of their application?

And so on

No conferences

Decided not to attend any conferences this year. Atleast not the typical ones I have often ranted about here. Will be both choosy and intentional about which ones to attend.  The ones to attend are the ones put up by practitioners of a craft. The rest is marketing one way or other.

And the unconference happened

 Most conferences have an agenda. No, not the stated agenda, but an agenda of marketing, airtime to sponsors, ensuring the past and future customers are invited, of ensuring that the "stars" of the industry are invited and attention showered of them. All in all it is a your scratch my back, I scratch your back syndrome. Some of these become cliques and claques and therefore the real point behind a conference is lost. And then there is the unconference - organised and run by the alumni of the ISABS ODCP program. And as the name suggests, this is truly an un-conference organised by the alumni, for the alumni. No funders - except the alumni themselves. No sponsors. Just the team.  I havent seen a more tastefully organised conference (yes, its an unconference).  To begin with - the location - not a typical star hotel, but an outdoorsy place. The food - simple. The welcome - personal. It was like a homecoming. The setting was warm and welcoming. It was a smaller conference. Ju...

The power of jotting down ideas

 Long long ago, I always used to carry a small letterpad with me. To jot down ideas that might occur. Over the years, it has changed from a notepad to evernote to google keep, but the power of jotting down ideas is immense.  Small ideas go into keep.  Anything to be quickly typed goes into whatsapp as a self message.  Bigger or better formed ideas go into Google docs A few are still written, but I manage to copy them into a digital format sooner rather than later.  But the power of jotting down is immense. My google keep is an encyclopedia of ideas - most of which may never get implemented.
