“ Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds enormous business potential for organizations in all industries. To illustrate: Experts predict by 2022, global business value derived from AI will total $3.9 trillion.” As such, businesses that leverage AI to their advantage can achieve and maintain a competitive edge, whereas those that fail to do so run the risk of floundering. However, since AI is a highly disruptive technology, successfully incorporating it into operations, products and services is a complex initiative requiring knowledgeable leadership, an agile organizational mindset and an innovative company culture. For the majority of mature businesses, this involves a significant transformation that needs to be carried out strategically across all segments of the organization. In this endeavor, an agile HR function can play a critical role. Agile HR focuses on delivering value to the end user, breaking initiatives down into smaller projects completed by autonomous, cross-functional teams and restructuring the organization into a flexible network of teams that work together towards the common goal. By using this approach, an agile HR function can create a work environment and organizational culture conducive to innovation, while at the same time establishing an executive talent strategy that delivers the leaders needed to spearhead the successful implementation of AI.
