When this is over, what say we all pitch in and buy health care workers, couriers, hauliers, farmers, millers, grocers, bakers, sewage workers, power workers, teachers, fire fighters and police officers a bottle of something?

Thank you #FestivalOfWork it's been a fascinating couple of days. My main takeaways:
1. Change of mindset from artificial to augmented intelligence
2. We're all being buffeted by change. Not just me, not just my company, or profession or industry. All of us, everywhere.

[Rob Foster @RobFosterHR]

General observations on the event:
🙂Good range of insightful conference speakers
🙂A decent range of topics permitting either adeep dive, or skim across
🙂A broad range of exhibitors across all/many HR disciplines

#FestivalOfWork Maybe we should hand control of the future of work to the unmitigated wisdom of 5 & 7 year olds...

If you’re going to hire an analytics person into HR, don’t then put them in the basement, advises @DeloitteUK people analytics leader Luk Smeyers – they need to be integrated into the function #FestivalofWork

LMS's are not designed to measure impact - the clue is in its name. I'm intrigued that the panel have been talking for over ten minutes about learning and not mentioned the role and responsibility of managers in learning. #FestivalofWork

[Rob Foster @RobFosterHR]

Next up: "Has the LMS had its day?"
I'm predicting the answer is:
Yes (as a front-end for learning).
And no (as a reporting and compliance tool)

There are a plethora of ethical risks with #AI. How can we be more responsible with this tech? We cannot leave this challenge solely in the hands of technologists @RobMcCargow #FestivalofWork

"85% of CEOs say that AI will have a significant impact within the next 5 years. But there's a much smaller implementation of it, partly around talent, lack of a true AI industry, the ability of organisations to adopt & adapt" #FestivalofWork

@Michael_LPI ...or automate it

[Rob Foster @RobFosterHR]

This morning I’ll be learning about the future work in an automated society - but not before I’ve had to join a 10 minute queue to drop my coat and bag off at the cloakroom #ironic #FestivalOfWork

[Rob Foster @RobFosterHR]

Next up....
