 | | 5 Ways to Future-Proof Your Career in the Age of AI | | What can we do personally to stave off the displacement that may happen as a result of AI? AI technology has the power to transform our professional lives—perhaps in the very near future. This article provides five strategies to future-proof your career in the age of intelligent machines. By following these strategies, you can find ways to identify and provide unique value, even as GPT-4 and other technologies advance. | | | | | | |  | | Driving Organizational Change—Without Abandoning Tradition | | As societal expectations grow for the responsible use of digital technologies, firms that promote better practices will have a distinct advantage. Strengthening your organization's digital responsibility can drive value creation, and brands regarded as more responsible will enjoy higher levels of stakeholder trust and loyalty. Based on ongoing research into digital transformations and in-depth studies of 12 large European firms, here are four best practices around digital responsibility to maximize business value and minimize resistance. | | | | | | |  | | When Scenario Planning Fails | | How can organizations perform scenario planning when they are hit by shocks outside of leaders' field of vision? Interviews with Nordic executives, who experienced both the Covid-19 pandemic and were in close proximity to Russia as the country invaded Ukraine, can provide clues. Instead of abandoning the typical "base case/best case/worst case" planning, they adapted their planning to encompass four main strategies other companies can try. | | | | | | |  | | Make It Safe for Employees to Speak Up—Especially in Risky Times | | In turbulent times like these, it's natural for people to hold back and avoid taking risks at work. This can mean a reluctance to report mistakes, ask questions, offer new ideas, or challenge a plan. People, whether they're aware of it or not, try to protect their reputations and jobs. Unfortunately, the same behaviors that feel risky to individual employees are precisely what their companies need in order to thrive in this uncertain economic climate. Here's how leaders can achieve a more psychologically safe workplace and the benefits it provides. | | | | | | |  | | How Unnecessary Paper Packaging Creates the Illusion of Sustainability | | As global consumers grow increasingly conscious of the environmental toll of plastic packaging, many brands have taken steps to reduce their use of plastic. But some brands have adopted a much less productive approach to the anti-plastic movement: They've begun adding superfluous paper packaging on top of plastic packaging. Research demonstrates that this sort of overpackaging can boost consumers' perceptions of sustainability, despite the fact that it is demonstrably worse for the environment. | | | | | | | | |

| | FEATURED PRODUCT  By Rob Cross and Karen Dillon A hidden epidemic of small moments of stress—microstress—has insidiously infiltrated both our work and our personal lives with invisible but devastating effects.

Drawing on fresh research, Rob Cross and Karen Dillon explain the science behind the phenomenon. They also share the secrets of a small set of people who've endured their share of microstress but have still managed to cultivate relationships that enable them to thrive both at work and in life. The Microstress Effect will help you build resilience and find purpose to help you break free from this quietly invasive force that's stealing your life. $30.00 Learn more | |
