Heute: Feiertag zur menschlich Raumfahrt!

Heute, 12. April, ist der Tag der menschlichen Raumfahrt! Und: Technologie und Raumfahrt haben viel mit Psychologie zu tun. Sei es:

  • die Auswahl von Astronauten mit psychometrischen Instrumenten (Test, Interview, Verhaltensbeobachtung/Assessment Center),
  • die Forschung zu Kommunikation, Konflikten und Isolation in mars-ähnlicher Umgebung, oder
  • die Frage, warum Menschen überhaupt in die Ferne reisen und welche Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Emotionen und Motive dies fördern.

Auch viele Science Fiction Romane, Filme und Serien widmen sich dieser Beziehung und Fragen zur Zusammenarbeit von Computern, Robotern, Künstlicher Intelligenz mit uns Menschen auf der Erde und im All. Zum Beispiel “I, Robot” oder die Serie “Star Trek” (Raumschiff Enterprise).

Und aktuell steht ja der Mond und eine baldige erneute Landung unsere Spezies auf der Tagesordnung der NASA.

Mehr zur Frage, warum die UN den 12. April zum Tag der Raumfahrt (offiziell: International Day of Human Space Flight) erkor hier.

Als ultimativen Guide zu den Sternen empfehle ich das aktuelle Buch von Ulrich Walter (2023) “Reiseziel Weltraum”, das ich derzeit lese.

Ein fantastisches Wochenende wünsche ich!

Update: HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf – New group at Meetup

Dear guest!

About a week ago I announced in a post here on LinkedIn the founding of a new group for regular in-person meetings in the local area: HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf. And a date for the first and founding edition on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.

Today I have installed the new and private group “HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf” at Meetup for organizing events, connecting members, and online communication. There is also the first and founding edition. Please join our group if you work or are interested in HR tech, exchange in-person, and having a good time with foods and drinks in a nice place:

https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/hr-tech-meetup-dusseldorf

As I learned there are at least two other HR events on this date in the area or not far away, so even if you cannot participate on the first date (for whatever reason), please show your interest in further meetings by joining the group. Thus you will be also informed about our upcoming events. A note: Meetings are opened to any nationality and language, so that is why this post and group information are in English.

I am looking forward to see you soon. For now I wish you a wonderful week!

Interview

Interview mit Jonathan Haidt in der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung am 08. April 2024

Lieber Gast!

Ich habe ja mal Psychologie studiert: In Düsseldorf, Bonn und Madrid. Nach einer Ausbildung zum Bankkaufmann.

Zwar zog es sich später wieder in die Wirtschaft mit meinem Fokus auf Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie, doch an den Grundlagen und zentralen Fragen des Faches war und bin ich immer noch interessiert – und diese sind natürlich auch relevant, wie z.B. Differenzielle und Persönlichkeitspsychologie für die Mitarbeiterauswahl und das Online-Assessment. Und wenn es mit Technologie zu tun hat, um so mehr!

Jonathan Haidt lief mir literarisch über sein Buch “Die Glückshypothese: Die Quintessenz aus altem Wissen und moderner Glücksforschung” um das Jahr 2010 über den Weg, als ich mit mit dem wissenschaftlichen Fundament der Positiven Psychologie beschäftigte – die auch für Führung und das Human Resource Management relevant ist, wie z.B. das bekannte Verfahren zur Identifikation von Stärken: Der StrengthsFinder von Don Clifton und Gallup.

Haidts Buch ist eines der Besten zur Positiven Psychologie, das ich gelesen habe (und es waren bestimmt mehr als zehn). Als Sozialpsychologe und Wissenschaftler an der New York University Stern School of Business forscht er vor allem zur Psychologie der Moral und moralischen Emotionen und ihrer Beziehung zu Politik und Religion.

Zudem war er weiter als Autor aktiv und publizierte mehrere Bücher hierzu sowie seit 2015 auch zu den Themen Universitätskultur und mentale Gesundheit von Studierenden. Sein neues Buch “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” erschien im März 2024 und wird auf deutsch laut Amazon im Juni verfügbar sein.

Anlässlich dieser Publikation sprach Rolf Dobelli, der bekannte Schweizer Schriftsteller und Unternehmer (z.B. “Die Kunst des klaren Denkens”, Gründer von World.Minds), mit Jonathan Haidt über die hohe Nutzung sozialer Netzwerke besonders durch junge Menschen und dessen Wirkungen auf die Gehirnentwicklung und das Verhalten – und er liefert einige Ideen für Maßnahmen zu einer positiven Entwicklung.

Zusammen mit anderen Erkenntnissen, Erfahrungen und Positionen, wie z.B. Gerd Gigerenzer (2022) in “Klick: Wie wir in einer digitalen Welt die Kontrolle behalten und die richtigen Entscheidungen treffen”, ein lesenswerter Beitrag vom 08. April 2024 in der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ):

https://www.nzz.ch/feuilleton/interview-jonathan-haidt-covid-war-nichts-im-vergleich-zu-dem-was-wir-unseren-kindern-mit-sozialen-medien-und-smartphones-antun-ld.1824924

So, diesmal ein thematisch etwas anderer Beitrag zu Psychologie und Technologie. Beim nächsten Post schaue ich mir an, welche spannenden Artikel es zur Künstlichen Intelligenz hinsichtlich People & Culture (HRM) gibt. Lust darauf? Dann einfach vernetzen.

Einen produktiven Dienstag und herzliche Grüße

Save the date: HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf – Edition 1 on 14 May 2024

Dear guest!

Between 2011 and 2018, with short breaks, I organized meetups for Business Psychologists (and in the first years for Psychologists) in Düsseldorf. These meetups were informal gatherings at a workday evening mostly at Schlösser Quartier Bohème with around 8 to 20 people who enjoyed talking to peers and exchanging experiences.

+++ Update: A have founded the “HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf” group at Meetup now: Please join if you like and come as you are: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/hr-tech-meetup-dusseldorf/ +++

HR Tech is a hot issue and a growing market, but what is missing apart those big and online conferences is a local, in-person and regular meetup for those who are working or interested in technology to support human resource management.

And as my focus was and is HR Tech and plays a crucial role today, I thought it is a good idea once again to organize local meetings to cover topics where HR Tech is fundamental or important like (Note: Some topics are obviously connected and overlapping):

  • HR Cloud, HR Hardware, HR Software, HR platforms
  • Digitization of HR processes
  • Employer Branding, Recruiting, Applicant
  • Requirement Analysis, CV, Video-Interviews, Online-Assessment
  • Talent Management
  • People Analytics, HR Analytics, Workforce Analytics, HR Data Science
  • Educational Technology (EdTech)
  • Change Management,
  • Leadership, Communication, Motivation
  • Performance Management
  • Health Management
  • Retention Management
  • New Work, Remote Work
  • AI and GenAI in HRM
  • Robotics, Chatbots, Virtual Assistants
  • Ethics and Laws (like the new EU AI Act)

According to Gartner’s “2024 HR Technology Imperatives” report, four specific areas stand out: Skills Management, Learning Experience Platforms, Internal Talent Marketplaces, and AI in Talent Acquisition.

And we can find more on their website about the state of HR Tech: “A recent Gartner survey reveals that 56% of HR leaders say their HR technology solutions and strategy do not match current and future business needs.” (Source: Gartner, 2024)

So, there is a lot of to talk about, to exchange thoughts and experiences about HR tech topics, to meet new people and get inspired! I hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 for the first edition of HR Tech Meetup Düsseldorf! The place and further information will be announced shortly – For now mark the day and block your evening if you want to be part of a new local group.

And please like, comment, or share my post if this appeals to you, and even if you can’t join on that day. After all: Such meetings only make sense if there is a sufficient readiness to take part. Plus: If you want to host or sponsor a meeting as a HR department of a company or a HR service provider with a presentation, contact me via a personal message. Thank you!

I wish you a good weekend and are looking forward for meeting you in person.

AI is not breaking EU law: Revealing the musician interviewed // Dave on Data

Dear visitor!

My latest newsblog article for Schorberg Analytics started with a reference to a song title by a famous metal band.

And I wrote a little bit about the new EU AI Act and how its affects AI in HRM in my text at the beginning, before I focused on the main purpose of it: Presenting you 7 books on AI for work and HRM.

Note: I updated this list a day later by adding 20 more books at the bottom on Artificial Intelligence(AI), ChatGPT, Business, and Large Language Models(LLMs), so there are no excuses for you for not reading and not knowing how to get into AI or, as you have probably touched the keyboard for it, for improving your skills and business!

But back to music: “Breaking the Law” is a song title by the successful British band Judas Priest founded 1969 in Birmingham, and the interviewee was their singer and songwriter: Robert Halford. The music group sold over 50 million albums and is considered to be on of the greatest metal bands.

German/Austrian/Swiss culture TV station 3sat spoke with their lead vocalist on the occasion of their new and 19th studio album “Invincible Shield”. You can watch the interview with Rob Halford, now 72 years old, in the media library of the broadcaster and the program “Kulturzeit”:

https://www.3sat.de/kultur/kulturzeit/judas-priest-mit-neuem-album-invincible-shield-100.html

So, that was the solution. When I was younger (and my hair was of course longer) I used to listen to such music and from other rock genres of the 80s and 90s as well. As now I am just a little bit older, I still enjoy this music, but my main focus since 15 years is dancing and listening to Salsa music.

Interesting: There are others like business psychologist Dr. Nico Rose who write and speak about the connection of Psychology and Hard Rock/Heavy Metal music (see his website too), and as I know some (or many? who has a statistics? ;-)) tech people (and with other backgrounds as well like design and law) banged their heads too.

Here a closing tip fits which returns us to AI, data science, and Python (the programming language of course, not the lovely animal 😉):

David Langer, an applied computer scientist and experienced IT trainer (and according to his shirts in his latest videos with some interest for metal bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden), offers great online-tutorials, videos, and live training to learn Python, and Python with Excel, Machine Learning, and special Data Literacy courses. Check out his work on his website and free resources on his YouTube channel!

I learned about Dave on Data by the terrific newsletter by Data & Analytics, so you should, if this your field of work, check it out too.

That’s it!

Holidays are coming for many of us and I wish you some recreational and inspiring free days where ever you may roam! (the next song riddle, hoho!)

Note: The image for this newsblog article was created with the help of DALL·E 3 as part of OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4. For those interested in the prompt and the chatbots accompanying words, here it is:

You: Create a HD pop art image in horizontal format of the relationship of heavy metal music on one side and data analytics as well as artificial intelligence on the other side. Surprise me!

ChatGPT: Here’s a pop art image that creatively captures the relationship between heavy metal music and the worlds of data analytics and artificial intelligence. It blends the vibrant and chaotic energy of a heavy metal concert with the precise, orderly realm of AI and data analytics in an imaginative and cohesive way. Enjoy exploring the details and the surprising ways in which these two seemingly disparate worlds are visually connected!

Hint: I created another picture with it, and a different prompt, and the results with skulls, stats, guitars, and charts were artistic, but maybe a little bit to scary for a header! ;-).
