HPOD - The Human Point of Difference
HPOD: The Human Point of Difference is the hearts book within the Hearts, Minds and Hands trilogy.
It positions people at the heart of the AI transformation, not the technology. It helps people understand what it means to be humanly valuable when AI can do so much of what we once did. It offers a roadmap for identity, capability, and personal evolution, because in this age, relevance is something you build, not something you’re guaranteed.
The Jinji Method
The Jinji Method frames the AI-powered workplace not as a destination, but as an ‘evolutionary journey’. Rather than a static end or future state defined with clarity by the technology, organisational structure, job roles and so on, the AI-powered workplace can best be described as a workplace in motion. In an ‘evolutionary journey’ of harmonising AI technology and human endeavour in the pursuit of value creation and growth. This notion reflects an unending evolution of the work that is performed, how things get done through people and technology, and how the enterprise achieves it’s what, when, how, who and why in the workplace of the future, across a timeframe that no one can really define.
A New Bargain
A New Bargain is the Minds book within the Hearts, Minds and Hands trilogy. It is about the perspective of how people enterprises and employees will be challenged to find mutuality amongst the challenges this transformation will bring.
This is the story of enterprise as the frontline in AI, and about the redefining of the psychological contract between employer and employee that will be essential to mutuality at the centre of the AI-powered workplace employment relationship.
