AI skills

Last week, Mark and I gave a talk on AI for Konica Minolta's European IT Management. Hybrid-wise. English. Thank you for the invitation!

We designed the program to help managers find a strong point in a dynamically changing world with AI.

It included several areas:

1️⃣ A common dictionary for the field of AI. Otherwise, an “AI agent” is completely different for everyone, and you do not get along with each other.

2️⃣ Practical examples. Otherwise, you will not be able to imagine what is possible today. And you strengthen your inertia.

3️⃣ Strategic perspective. Otherwise, you will clamp down on a specific example and drown in the details. A lot of things don't make sense to do right away and immediately. A lot of things don't make sense NOT to do right away and immediately.

Perhaps the most important thing you can work on with your colleagues today... is build new AI-related competencies.

The question is not whether we will use AI in our work. The question is... how effectively do we manage it and whether we are going to lead or catch up with the market.

Having information is the basis. This is where our webinar about AI skills next week.

When you have information, you need people to be able to change. And they performed their tasks differently and better than before.

At House of Cutter, we solve this by devoting an entire week to reflection, planning and making changes every 8 weeks. It's expensive. At the same time, it is more expensive not to do it. Otherwise, by now we would have drawn sites in Figma and run them on Wordpress.
