Two weeks ago, I had the incredible opportunity to be the keynote speaker at one of my favorite annual conferences (you know who you are :)), where I explored Generative AI (GenAI) and its potential impact on HR professionals. 🤖 In my talk, I unpacked three practical use cases, demonstrating how this powerful technology can be applied in the real world. 🌍 But amidst all the excitement, there’s still a lot of uncertainty around GenAI, especially regarding its usefulness and long-term implications. That’s why I emphasized the need for robust discussions on how AI can be adopted safely, the real questions we must answer, and how we can get started in a meaningful way.❓ 🔍 My core message? 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 "𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲"—𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆.

Head on over to our blog to find out how to build a performance management process that actually works. https://hubs.ly/Q02LRCvc0 #PLMS #performancemanagement #performance #capabilitybuilding

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝? Association for Talent Development (ATD) and Credly have been urging me to claim my CPTD (Certified Professional in Talent Development) certification badge. Here it is, along with a more rational and less emotional reflection. My conclusion—getting certified is highly beneficial. ✔️ Even if you think you know most of the exam content, you still learn a lot of 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Unlike college exams, professional certifications focus on practical application of knowledge, not abstract theory. ✔️ Certifications keep us on our toes and make us 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 and be aware of the latest trends. ✔️ Once certified, you join a community of professionals and gain 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 to additional resources and opportunities from certifying organizations. ✔️ Exam preparation 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 and refreshes your knowledge. ✔️ “It’ll look good on your resume,” as my American friends say. This is an external 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of your expertise. ✔️ And… this is a very effective way to develop as a professional. Not for someone/something else, but for yourself. This is very 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. Quite a few software engineers follow me here. Colleagues, please get certified in clouds, software testing, etc. It’s always worth it. Dear Ina Novikava, CPTD®, thank you for being the best (I mean it) study body I’ve ever had. More importantly, thank you for pushing me to take the exam. I don’t think I would have done it without your arguments.

A fantastic handbook, edited and contributed by so many amazing scholars. I had the pleasure of co-authoring two chapters with two incredible colleagues. The first chapter, written with Dr. Caleb Seung-hyun Han, explores skilling as a promising framework for applying people/workforce analytics to HRD practices. The second chapter, in collaboration with Dr. Kibum Kwon, challenges the long-standing, but potentially outdated, HR wheel (HRD/HRM distinction) framework by examining what professionals in the field actually do. We utilized topic modeling to analyze LinkedIn job postings for our research. #hrd #ahrd #L&D #peopleanalytics #hranalytics #skilling #textmining #talentdevelopment #handbook #tamu
