HUMAN DESIGN FOR COLLABORATION & INNOVATION

AI is forcing businesses to rethink how they work.

Are your workers ready for the higher-level cognitive tasks, ideation, and big picture thinking for which AI frees them?

Capitalize on that freedom and scale up the quality of the newly complex human tasks now demanded of them. And use their time, especially their time together, more effectively.

You know that much of their work will best be done together. Yet how many managers do you know who design meetings around the true life cycles of viable ideas? While certain kinds of ideas can be worked on every Wednesday morning, others require not only a different timeline, but a designed “collaboration timeline” that maximizes when to prioritize speed—and when breathing room.

The design of people’s time together is an art that takes both people savvy and a feel for the organic cultivation of ideas. At THE HUMAN JOURNEY, we believe the best reason to bring people together for a meeting is not to hear reports, but to create something together—to collaborate. It’s the highest use of all the salaries you’re paying to have all those people in the room. Let us help you master that art.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR UPWARDLY MOBILE MANAGERS

Managers are a key factor in whether employees stay with an organization or look elsewhere.

And, with AI, your upwardly mobile managers’ roles are less about overseeing routine activities than redesigning their people’s work to become significantly more creative. Consequently, managers’ own work will become more like that of creative directors—guiding, receiving, and shaping their staff’s work so that it—and they—succeed.

It takes particular skills to be a strong manager of creatives, such as knowing when to keep the reins loose, sensing how to shape an idea, and discerning the times that “let’s go in another direction” is the right choice. These skills may not come intuitively to someone accustomed to managing by deadlines and budgets, yet your younger employees will expect it.

Together, we can set the growth curriculum for your upwardly mobile managers—and the results you can expect—as your highest-potential employees adapt to the supremely human world their employees are now going to be inhabiting as they partner effectively with A.I.’s capabilities.

ALIGNMENT & HUMAN INTEGRITY

You’ve either attended—or led—endless process meetings on alignment—that rejiggering or re-engineering of work processes so that all efforts map to the grand plan.

That top-down coherence is critical—but it’s not everything. It fails to capture the experience of your staff, which is crucial to retention and recruitment.

We consider integrity to be the “bottom-up” and “through and through” experiential counterpart to alignment.

Integrity is about doing what you say you’re doing—but get the right idea: Integrity little to do with what you think, believe, or project. It’s drawn from the perspective of your current and future staff. .. Employees’ “Great Resignation” after the pandemic demonstrated how much people had reflected on the tradeoffs they had made in their values for too little in return. Many younger employees don’t just want a higher salary or the opportunity to work from home. They expect the organizations they work for to be consistent with their values, and their work relationships to be much richer than the transactional ones of the traditional workplace. Yet most people higher up in the organizational structure haven’t risen up in workplaces that provided this.

Is your company’s mission something employees feel as something more than words? Does the organization strive to make the lived experience of staff consistent with what it does externally? Is its impact on the people it serves and in the communities in which it works coherent with its guiding philosophy?

. In a word, do your people experience your mission as applying to them?
