Rückblick: Museumsnacht bei sipgate am 27.04.2024

Lieber Gast!

Technologie und Kunst? Klar, denn jede erfolgreiche Technologie benötigt ein sowohl schönes als auch benutzerfreundliches Design! Wer lehrte uns dies besser als Steve Jobs mit Apple (main credits to Jony Ive).

Doch wir müssen nicht ins Silicon Valley reisen, um Technologie und Kunst zu erleben, sondern meist gibt es vor Ort interessante Plätze! Wie z.B. in Düsseldorf bei der Museumsnacht am 27. April 2024, als ich nach langer Zeit wieder einmal die Fotokunst-Ausstellung bei sipgate besuchte:

Unter dem Motto “Vita brevis, ars longa” führte uns der Kurator und Künstler Cornelius Quabeck, der den Düsseldorfer Telefonie-Anbieter seit 2013 berät, durch die neue Ausstellung mit spannenden Einblicken in die Fotos und Bilder. Er selbst zeichnete die mehr als 200 hundert Porträts der Mitarbeiter mittels Tusche auf Papier, die im Eingangsbereich von sipgate hängen (ein fortlaufendes Projekt, bei dem Cornelius jeden neuen Mitarbeiter porträtiert).

Wir kamen relativ spät um 22 Uhr dort an, und draußen im Hof sowie drinnen im zwei-stöckigem, sehr langem Gebäude hatte sich schon sehr viele Besucher eingefunden. Die DJane legte gerade die Musik auf und nach der Führung schauten wir uns noch etwas um.

Spannend für mich als HR-Mensch mit Tech- und Datenfokus war nicht nur die inspirierende Gestaltung und Einrichtung der Räume, sondern auch einige Informationen zum Unternehmen selbst.

Zum Beispiel: der ausgehängte Artikel “Das etwas andere Unternehmen” aus dem Handelsblatt, die “sipgate Brand Personality” und – natürlich – der Bildschirm mit einem Dashboard zu People Analytics mit einigen Kennzahlen wie Mitarbeiterzahl, Time to Hire (Zeit Jobposting bis Zusage), das Preboarding (Zeit mündliche Zusage bis 1. Arbeitstag) und der Stellenübersicht.

Wir ließen den Abend in einer ruhigen Ecke mit kühlen Getränken ausklingen, bevor wir uns auf den Heimweg machten. Fazit: Wer noch nicht bei sipgate war: Besuchen! Egal wer man ist. Denn: Come as you are, wie Nirvana sang (passend auch zur HR-Vielfalt der Jobanforderungen und Persönlichkeiten), und das Unternehmen jedem am Eingang begrüßt.

Einen schönen Feierabend wünsche ich!

Herzliche Grüße, Stefan Klemens

Study

New study by the Adecco Group: Impact on talent strategy of AI and GenAI

Dear guest!

Known Swiss personnel service provider and talent company Adecco Group (with its German headquarter in Düsseldorf!) published its new study “Leading through the great disruption 2024” on April 4, 2024.

As the subtitle “How a human-centric approach to AI creates a talent advantage” indicates this study deals with the effects of machine and deep learning on the workforce. 2,000 C-Suite executives from nine countries (Canada, USA, France, Germany, Spain, UK, Australia, Japan, Singapore) were surveyed.

A key finding: “66% said they will buy AI-skilled talent externally, compared with just 34% who said they will develop their existing workforce.”

And: “37% of business leaders say pay for AI-related roles will “increase significantly” in the next 12 months, compared with just 24% for white collar and 9% for blue collar roles.”

Marcel Urech from Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten headlined his article about the study somewhat lurid “Viele Jobs, die KIs vernichten, kommen nie zurück” [Many jobs that AIs destroy never come back]. But this is the way articles attract readers as we all are aware of, even the HR folks for some years with employer branding as a marketing tool for talents, right?

Looking closer we see another result of the study: “A majority of 57% say the “human touch” is still more influential than AI in the workplace, while creativity and innovation is cited as the leading area where skills are lacking.

To sum up, five key messages are presented:

  • AI is already forcing change
  • A ‘Buy vs build’ talent strategy is not sustainable
  • Leaders are not ready
  • A responsible talent strategy underpins AI success
  • AI can help to create a human-centric business

Of course these results in my post are just a selection of the data provided, so turn for the complete results to the study report (with some interesting findings for Germany).

Well, the world of AI in HRM is as challenging as exiting – And as Denis Machuel, the CEO of the Adecco Group, says: “AI should be a tool that supports people’s unique creative potential and enables more time for strategic thinking and problem solving.”

I will put the links to the study (a PDF with 60 slides without the usual registration form!) and the cited article at the end of this article.

For now, I wish you a happy Thursday and productive end of the week!

21 Open Access Books about AI, Data, Robots & Business you can klick on – Part 1

Dear guest!

One thing we should remember: Thanks to the widespread and more public available libraries since the beginning of the print book at the start of the Renaissance until the spread of information through the World Wide Web since the 1991:

The access to knowledge has grown dramatically to almost anyone in the world and this stands in sharp contrast to the keeping of knowledge in secret and for a few selected people in the past. But thanks to technology like letterpress printing (credits of course in the west to Johannes G.) and the work of Tim Berners-Lee for the WWW: data, information, and knowledge is now in our Information Age at almost any place in the world and at any time available.

Which can be of course a challenge and leads sometimes even to internet addiction when digital detoxing is not done in time. But I am not an expert in Clinical Psychology, so turn to some other expertise in case of interest in this matter.

Book recommendations: Surely you find helpful insights on “how to stay smart in a smart world” in the same named book by renowned Gerd Gigerenzer (see also his new 2023 published book The Intelligence of Intuition for a deeper understanding of human decision making; Note: free access to Chapter 1).

In the last twenty years another trend emerged and the publication of research papers and textbooks by open access lowers sometimes expensive orders of magazines and textbooks by publishers. One great source for this is the Directory of Open Access Books (doab), which I used for the research on the theme of this newsblog article.
