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

Image by the Adecco Group: Title slide of the study

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

Image: DALL·E inside OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 showing a colorful collection of textbooks about AI, data, robots & business.

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.

The Handbook of Data Science and AI

Lieber Gast,

jeden Tag werden rund 4.900 Bücher weltweit veröffentlicht – laut der UNESCO; die zudem die Höhe der Zahl für einen guten Indikator für den Lebensstandard und die Bildung einer Nation betrachtet (Quelle: https://de.globometer.com). Wo liegt Deutschland? Selbst nachschauen oder bis zum Ende lesen. 😉

Warum schreibe ich das? Nun, seit einiger Zeit fokussiere ich mich als freiberuflicher HR-Berater und Analyst auf das Thema People Analytics (seltener: HR Data Science) und habe dazu neben diversen Weiterbildungen in Python, Big Data und Maschinellem Lernen als wichtigem Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz auch eine Menge an Fachliteratur hierzu mir angeschaut.

Es gibt einige gute Bücher speziell zu People Analytics sowie zu Data Science, die jedoch recht kurz sind, spezielle Themen behandeln oder wichtige Grundlagen wie z.B. die IT-Infrastruktur weglassen – verständlich, wenn es kein Wälzer werden soll.

Vor kurzem jedoch habe ich ein Buch entdeckt, das ich sehr empfehlen kann (und eine Reihe von positiven Kritiken auch in Jeffs kleinem Buchladen bekommen hat), im April erstmals als englische Ausgabe publiziert wurde und ich heute morgen in meiner Postbox abholte:

Stefan Papp u.a. (2022). The Handbook of Data Science and AI. Generate Value from Data with Machine Learning and Data Analytics. München: Hanser. Preis: 38,99 Euro; 573 Seiten; gebunden mit flexiblem Cover.

In 18 Kapiteln gehen die 15 Autoren auf alle wichtigen Bereiche ein: Von den IT-Grundlagen (Infrastruktur, Daten Architektur, Data Engineering) über Mathematik und Statistik bis zum maschinellem Lernen und deren Anwendung in der Praxis (z.B. Natural Language Processcing, Computer Vision, Modelling und Simulation, Visualisierung, Strategie, Rechtliches, verschiedene Branchen).

Wer sich also mit People Analytics und HR Data Science beschäftigt und hier schon einige Erfahrung hat, der sollte in das Handbuch einen, zwei oder auch drei Blicke werfen. Ich werde es heute tun!

Tipp: Keine Lust auf Englisch? Einen etwas besseren Einband (hartes Cover wie bei anderen Hanser-Fachbüchern)? Und etwas Geduld? Dann kaufe dir doch die deutsche Ausgabe, die als 2. Auflage am 15. Juli 2022 unter dem Titel “Handbuch Data Science und KI: Mit Machine Learning und Datenanalyse Wert aus Daten generieren” ebenfalls im Hanser-Verlag erscheint – mit einem etwas höheren Preis von 49,99 Euro und 624 Seiten (bedingt durch die deutsche Übersetzung, wie mir die nette Dame vom Verlag erklärte – wieder was gelernt. :-).

So viel für heute. Ich wünsche dir einen lustigen Freitag und ein entspannendes Wochenende! Vielleicht auch mit einem Buch?

Herzliche Grüße, Stefan Klemens

PS: Ach, noch die Auflösung: Deutschland liegt auf Platz 5 der weltweiten Buchpublikationen. Die Zahlen stammen zwar aus dem Jahr 2010, doch ich denke nicht, dass sich seitdem viel geändert hat. Auf die Schnelle finde ich auch keine aktuellere Quelle …
