Session Focus: Building a Better HR Skillset

In this insightful session, HR leaders debated the roles, responsibilities and roadmaps needed to prepare HR professionals for the "quiet tsunami" of artificial intelligence and digital transformation disrupting the workforce.

With education's half-life now less than 4 years and over 50% of S&amp;P 500 companies predicted to be replaced by 2027, the compelling takeaway was clear: HR must continuously upskill and reskill, potentially through certifications, to remain relevant and aligned with their company's AI-driven digital transformation.

As Josh Bersin states: "Artificial intelligence won't take your job, someone who embraces AI will."

Key takeaways highlighted the importance of:
1) HR reskilling through certifications focused on not just knowledge, but hands-on application, case studies and understanding AI's ethical implications.
2) A balanced approach with both companies providing time/resources and individuals taking ownership of self-directed learning.
3) Closing HR's skills gap by choosing the right certification roadmaps suited to your organization's digital strategy and transformation needs.
With AI tsunamis disrupting HR, the time is now to chart your reskilling journey through strategic certifications so you can ride the wave, not be overcome by it.

Virtual Debate: Preparing HR Leaders for AI's Quiet Tsunami vs. Josh Bersin's Why AI won’t replace HR

Hypothesis: To prepare for AI's Quiet Tsunami, we need similar rigorous HR Certification Roadmaps as commonly used for IT upskilling.

💥 Future of Work is Here. AI and ChatBots are likely to revolutionize HR in many positive ways—Josh Bersin (Feb 2023)

In Josh Bersin Academy's recent newsletter, Josh recommends how you (HR Leaders) can prepare for the long view.
<ul>
 	<li>"Schedule time to focus on your learning and development goals. Create a list of immediate initiatives that are realistic and identify some longer-term intentions. The goal should be to keep up with the HR news of the day without it derailing your broader professional development mission.” —Josh Bersin</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

Wait a minute; The effectiveness of IT Certification Roadmaps has been demonstrated to surpass that of conventional learning programs.

💥 As HR is revolutionized in many positive ways, will traditional instructor-led and online learning prepare HR for AI’s quiet tsunami revolutionizing work?

Let us find a learning approach that offers HR leaders credibility and a technological edge by keeping them up-to-date with advancing technology.

To help make this debate more concrete, we ask that all participants review the following available learning programs:
<ol>
 	<li>JBA Program that has a Certificate: <a href="https://ideation.ele.llc/LC_FoW/20230316_JBA_HR-in-the-age-of-AI.pdf">HR in the Age of AI | Josh Bersin Academy</a> (5-6 hours over five weeks)</li>
 	<li>AIHR Certificate Program: <a href="https://ideation.ele.llc/LC_FoW/20230316_AIHR_Digital_HR_Certificate_Program_Syllabus.pdf"> Digital HR Transformation 2.0 | AIHR</a> (27 hours over nine weeks)</li>
 	<li>Wharton Certificate Program: <a href="https://ideation.ele.llc/LC_FoW/20230316_Wharton_HR_Management_31-10-2022_V44.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HR Management and Analytics | Wharton School</a> (40 hours over two months)</li>

In this first ELE Online Debate, we will split into two groups. Our ELE Producers will conduct a group debate on Zoom by:
<ol>
 	<li>Introducing the topic. All debates start with a topic or resolution.</li>
 	<li>Assign the Affirmative and the Negative. There are two sides to any debate.  Attendees can participate or observe but can’t switch sides.</li>
 	<li>Keep Track of Time.</li>
 	<li>Make a Judgment.</li>
</ol>
During this debate, we will ask each group to support their side on questions such as:
<ol>
 	<li>Should companies require HR staff to receive specific training to support a company's digital strategy?</li>
 	<li>Do companies understand the skills and knowledge that HR staff must acquire to support a digital transformation?</li>
 	<li>Do HR practitioners possess the skill and will need to complete certification programs that would support a digital transformation?</li>
 	<li>Are companies responsible for encouraging HR staff to update their skills and knowledge to support their digital strategy?</li>
 	<li>Should companies allow HR staff to pursue certification as a part of their regular day-to-day responsibilities (as opposed to on their own time, outside of the 8 AM – 5 PM workday)?</li>
</ol>
Recordings will be made available on Insights, and we plan to continue this virtual debate in-person on May 18th at <a href="https://www.learningexecutive.com/events/2023-wisconsin-executive-learning-exchange">the Skills-First Milwaukee Talent Development Conference @ GE HealthCare</a>.

ELE produces this – Future of Work Learning Circle.
