AI and Productivity: Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Processes and Unlock Employee Potential
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has been unprecedented but how can senior business practitioners and people professionals ensure that it increases productivity and doesn't hinder staff learning and development?

Unlike other technologies, there has been no gentle roll out of AI from the top level of the organization. This means that the adoption has been fast, unstructured, ever changing and often comes from more junior colleagues rather than a top-down approach. AI is fast becoming a default feature that is being built into existing familiar systems but what does this mean for productivity? Is AI really saving time and creating the efficiencies that the business needs or is it an expensive distraction? What does it mean for staff skill development and employee learning? Is it impacting employee curiosity, problem solving and agile thinking? What does it mean for employee communication and soft skills?

AI and Productivity examines all these questions and provides senior business practitioners and people professionals with the answers they need. It covers how to assess where AI can really make a difference to your people and your business and where it should be used sparingly and with caution. This book discusses AI and its impact on productivity in processes, activities and teams with a specific focus on recruitment, HR and Learning and Development. There is crucial discussion of the impact of AI on employees' skill development what it means for developing talent in the organization. Written by a leading voice in the industry, this is essential reading for senior business and people practitioners who want to ensure that their workforce and their business benefits from productivity gains made possible by AI.
