🔧 Scaling Human Talent with Gen AI

The true promise of GenAI isn't 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 but 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. AI transforms what's possible by amplifying human capabilities in two critical dimensions:

✅ 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: When most people think of AI, they imagine multiplying their output—creating digital copies of themselves. You can indeed get more done by adopting AI tools that optimize your day-to-day tasks.
✅ 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: AI bridges the "novice-to-expert gap," allowing less experienced professionals to produce work significantly above their expected skill level.

Forward-thinking companies will drive aggressive AI adoption, transforming employees into more productive cross-functional performers and breaking down traditional siloed job descriptions. For example, software developers will transform into "software composers" who focus on architecture and design while AI handles implementation details.

I shared these insights with the Business Agility Institute as a leader who has carried out aggressive adoption of AI in my organization. Get the report here: https://businessagility.institute/learn/from-constraints-to-capabilities/756. Thanks to Evan Leybourn for the invitation to contribute.
