Hello, Capital Age listeners.
0:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Welcome back.
0:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Today,
0:10
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I am thrilled to have two repeat visitors,
0:12
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and even more importantly,
0:14
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
very longtime friends joining me,
0:15
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Stacia Gar and Danny Johnson.
0:17
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Stacia and Danny are the co -founders of Red Thread Research,
0:20
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
which they launched in 2018 and built into one of the most respective independent
0:24
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
research voices in HR,
0:26
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
covering talent management,
0:27
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
people analytics,
0:28
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
learning, and the technologies we're shaping all of it.
0:31
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
They're here to talk about their 2026 Megatrends Report.
0:35
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And of course, we do love to talk about trends here in Capital H.
0:38
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Every year,
0:39
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they do something most HR researchers don't.
0:41
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
They start outside in.
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Before looking at what's happening inside,
0:45
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they study what's bearing down on them from the outside.
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And what they're seeing in 2026 is a convergence that's hard to ignore.
0:53
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Major shifts happening right now,
0:55
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
from the pressure on authenticity in an AI -generated world,
0:58
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the growing complexity of global workforces,
1:01
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the idea that AI is quickly becoming the air we breathe.
1:04
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
All forces converging at once,
1:06
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
all intense,
1:07
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and all hitting simultaneously.
1:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Let's dive in.
1:10
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Welcome,
1:11
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Dani. Welcome,
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Stacia.
1:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Thank you.
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Happy to be here.
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Thank you, David.
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So given all that,
1:16
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
where do you think we should start?
1:18
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Should we take a quick outside -in view,
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
talk about just the big picture of these shifts happening all at once?
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yes,
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we absolutely should.
1:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So thank you first and foremost for having us,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David.
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's always a pleasure to get to be here and to talk with you.
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You mentioned that we do something that's a little bit different,
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and I think you're right in that
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
starting from the big picture.
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And when we think about the big picture,
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
truly is like the biggest picture.
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like what is happening out there in the world that is affecting
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
us as humans,
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
affecting us as societies,
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and certainly affecting us as businesses.
1:52
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And then given that,
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
what are the implications for HR?
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And why is that different?
1:59
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Well, a lot of folks will say,
2:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
oh, well, we're going to talk about the HR trends.
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't know if we've done this for years,
2:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
talking about these sorts of things in years past.
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It was like, oh, engagement's really important or,
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
oh, this thing's really important.
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And it's like, actually,
2:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
no,
2:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
what's really important are these big picture things that are changing how we need
2:16
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to rethink how we're serving the business.
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And then the changes in processes or practices
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
or approaches that then need to flow from that.
2:25
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so that's really what this research.
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
is about.
2:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And one of the things that I find interesting is every year,
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Danny and I sit down as we're starting to look,
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
hopefully, towards the Thanksgiving holiday.
2:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And we say,
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, what's different?
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And every year I start off with,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think it's mostly,
2:41
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it's not that different.
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You know, some stuff changed,
2:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but it's not that big of a thing.
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And then we get into it and we realize how much does actually change over the course
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
of a year.
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Some trends are enduring AI.
2:53
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, has endured obviously for a number of years,
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but really the dynamics and the fact that these things are happening together
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
all at once and hitting all of us at once,
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think is one of the biggest shifts that we've seen over the recent past.
3:07
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Dani, what would you add?
3:08
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't know that I would add much.
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think Stacia's right.
3:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think it's more the volume of things that are happening at once that
3:15
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
is affecting organizations.
3:16
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Organizations are telling us that they just don't have time to react to all the things
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
because, and they're all interdependent.
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So all the things are affecting all the other things,
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
which is just creating a lot of unrest in a lot of organizations right now.
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And exhaustion.
3:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And exhaustion.
3:31
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
That's one of the things I feel like I'm hearing more than ever is not
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
just people who are kind of maybe in the middle doing all the hard work and all the movement,
3:38
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but CHROs just in,
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, unguarded moments saying,
3:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I am tired.
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like, this is so hard.
3:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And it hasn't let up.
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We had COVID and we had the great resignation and now we have this and I'm
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
just tired.
3:52
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So not a paralysis,
3:54
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
just an exhaustion.
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't think paralysis.
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think everybody's kind of dedicated to figuring out what's going on right now and how to move through
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it. As you know,
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
HR people are very,
4:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they're bleeding hearts.
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
They want to solve the things for the people in the organization.
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't think that's let up at all.
4:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But we are hearing sort of different flavors of how we move forward than we have in the past.
4:13
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But because they are sort of everything all at once,
4:17
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
is there an issue of sort of ownership?
4:19
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Oh, yeah.
4:20
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Who owns what?
4:21
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
For sure there is.
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We're hearing things on both sides of the spectrum from CHROs
4:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and from senior leaders.
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Either they own it and they want to sort of define and write what the
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
future looks like for people in the organization,
4:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
or they don't own it and they're waiting for their organization to tell them what
4:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to do. It's very interesting.
4:38
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Usually there's been this push for sort of like,
4:41
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we need the seat of the table because we need to do it.
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And now we're hearing these two factions kind of come out.
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's very strange.
4:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And I think that part of the confusion there is that they recognize
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
how much this technology AI is influencing all of this,
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but they don't really understand.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
what their role is.
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Because when I've pushed on these CHOs and said,
5:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
hey, well, like,
5:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
this is all about how people do their work.
5:07
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like, why in the world wouldn't you be leading the charge on this?
5:10
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And they're like,
5:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
well, yeah,
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Stacia, but like,
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we don't do the work.
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
The business is the one doing the work.
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So they're going to have to redefine the processes and the work and how the technology
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
integrates,
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
et cetera.
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like,
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
that's not us.
5:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like, we'll help,
5:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but that's not us to lead the charge.
5:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And then the other group that
5:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Danny mentioned was like,
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
oh my goodness,
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they cannot do this on their own.
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You know,
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
what HR has always done is define change in how
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it impacts people and help redefine work process
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and work with others in the business.
5:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But HR has been the lead.
5:45
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so I think it comes back to fundamentally how HR organizations
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
see their role in the organization and where
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they are comfortable drawing those lines.
5:58
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I also wonder if there's,
5:59
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't know how to say this without just saying it,
6:01
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but there seems to be a dip in sort of the importance of people
6:05
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
in organizations right now.
6:06
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's all about the technology.
6:08
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We're funding technology.
6:09
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We're laying off people so that we can fund technology.
6:11
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We're rethinking the work so that we can do it with fewer people,
6:13
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
6:14
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think that's a very short -term view of how we're doing this or
6:18
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
how we should be doing it in the future.
6:19
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But I think that's what's happening right now.
6:20
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And in that case,
6:21
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
HR isn't necessarily in charge.
6:24
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Those things are handled by other parts of the organization traditionally.
6:27
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think I know what you're saying generally,
6:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Danny.
6:31
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think I would frame it as AI seems to be
6:35
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
in particular holding a mirror back up to the organization.
6:39
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
sort of reminding it or perhaps for the first time just helping it to understand how much
6:43
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we just sort of assume about people,
6:45
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
how much that people are just sort of fuzzy and even in very prescribed
6:49
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
kinds of work.
6:50
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You can't plan for everything.
6:52
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so the humans doing the work kind of made up for that.
6:55
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We just didn't really realize it.
6:56
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Now suddenly we do as we have to try to,
6:58
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
if we're trying to design that work for an agent to do,
7:00
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
now suddenly we have to figure out how the human does all that work.
7:03
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But what it does is it's at least for,
7:05
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think the point I agree with.
7:07
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
at least at this particular moment,
7:08
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it's sort of objectified,
7:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and that's the right word,
7:10
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the humans in the organization too.
7:12
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's sort of now we're thinking about humans in a way that's mechanical and
7:16
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
mathematical,
7:17
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
just like we're thinking about algorithms and agents.
7:19
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I agree with you.
7:21
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I hope that's just a moment.
7:22
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's also making us realize just how valuable.
7:26
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
that fuzziness that humans bring really is.
7:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yeah.
7:29
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
The fuzziness that humans can deal with is very,
7:32
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
very different than the fuzziness that an agent can deal with.
7:35
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I've been diving into sort of the back end of agents and talking to people that are creating agents.
7:39
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
There is this contextual level to what humans can handle
7:43
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
that is not yet replicable in technologies.
7:46
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And I think we're close to realizing that and we'll start paying
7:50
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
attention to the people again.
7:51
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But right now,
7:51
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think we agree,
7:53
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David.
7:53
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they're underutilized and I think undervalued in organizations right now.
7:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
There's another reason I think that we're going to see a shift too,
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David, and maybe this gets a later question on optimism and
8:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
such, but agents are not free and they're only
8:08
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
going to get
8:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
more expensive as we integrate AI more into the organization.
8:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Now, all you technologists out there,
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I know what you're saying is,
8:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
haven't you heard of Moore's Law and the fact that technology gets cheaper,
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
blah, blah, blah, blah,
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
blah, and that the cost of compute has gone down?
8:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I get it.
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I hear you.
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I'm not aware of that.
8:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But the thing is,
8:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
is as we rely,
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we as organizations rely more and more on AI and AI
8:34
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
agents to do the work.
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We are not only relying on the capabilities that
8:41
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
exist today.
8:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and the price point to some extent that exists today,
8:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but we're also relying on those technology providers to continue to invest
8:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
in those agents in a way that aligns with what we need as
8:53
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
an organization and with an assumption that we will be able to continue
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to customize them and make them malleable in a way that we want.
9:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And because of the need for some sort of technological consistency,
9:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we are going to be beholden.
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to that technological provider.
9:10
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You think today that you're maybe upset with the HCM provider you're
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
with and you're going to have to rip it out every 10 years or whatever?
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Think about what that's going to look when all those agents are doing all of that work.
9:20
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You have never seen Beholden until you envision that.
9:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And at least with people.
9:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
They're on your balance sheet.
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You pay them.
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You have control.
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You're on the edge in some ways of potentially losing control.
9:34
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Now,
9:35
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
there's efficiency.
9:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
There's all sorts of good things.
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I'm not discounting that.
9:38
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But I'm just saying we haven't fully thought through all the implications of
9:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
going in the direction that a lot of these organizations are.
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And once we do,
9:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think we will once again come back to,
9:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
huh,
9:49
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
there's a lot of value in the people who we actually pay to do the work.
9:53
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think the other thing,
9:55
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I was having a couple of conversations last week at Learning Technologies,
9:58
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and one of them stands out.
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Right now,
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
organizations are looking for moats.
10:02
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What can the organization do that nobody else can do?
10:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Right now,
10:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it's how fast can you spin up these things and how much efficiency
10:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
can we find in these things?
10:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But eventually, it's going to be,
10:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
again, the people in the organization with the ideas being able to capture that information
10:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and those ideas and capitalize on those.
10:19
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And that isn't done by agents,
10:21
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and I don't see it being done by agents in the future,
10:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
which is why I think we're maybe at the very bottom of this people aren't valuable in
10:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
organizations right now.
10:28
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yeah, we've been using this word sort of your human edge and how do we kind of scale your
10:32
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
human edge?
10:33
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Because everyone will have access to these same sorts of tools and models
10:37
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and so forth,
10:38
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right? So that part's not the part that's going to differentiate.
10:41
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
The part that will differentiate as we figure out the human piece.
10:44
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But I also think,
10:45
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to a point you're both making,
10:46
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
if all we're doing is focused on...
10:49
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the efficiency side of this equation,
10:52
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the economic side of it,
10:53
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the same labor arbitrage we were talking through 10,
10:56
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
20 years ago when business process outsourcing was new,
11:00
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
now we've just replaced tokens for where's the cheapest human
11:04
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
power.
11:04
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
As long as that's the focus,
11:06
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we're leaving just value on the table.
11:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We're leaving the forward -looking view.
11:11
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yeah,
11:12
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
sure, I could do the same thing I currently do at 10 % the cost.
11:15
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Or I could take the people I have and do 10 times the value,
11:18
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right?
11:19
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So, you know,
11:20
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
how do I get there?
11:20
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Part of that,
11:21
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
maybe that leads us into actually diving into these mega trends.
11:25
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
One of the things that humans just do that,
11:28
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, at the moment,
11:29
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
AI and agents don't is relationships.
11:32
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And key to a relationship is trust.
11:36
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But your research talks about why trust is getting
11:40
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
harder, mainly because content,
11:43
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the kind of cost of entry to content is approaching
11:47
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
zero at this point.
11:48
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So content created by AI already outnumbers humans.
11:52
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And that's only going to seemingly increase exponentially.
11:57
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So with all this synthetic content,
12:01
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What is authentic?
12:02
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What is real?
12:03
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What is trustable?
12:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think a lot of organizations are trying to figure that out right now.
12:07
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I was reading this morning on Reddit and some guy was talking about how he
12:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
was just about to hire somebody and then they realized that it wasn't actually a real person.
12:15
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So they made it all the way through the hiring.
12:19
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
They made it through...
12:20
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
some sort of online check and then at the very end just realize that they weren't a person.
12:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so we have this happening on both sides,
12:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right? Organizations aren't being completely honest with people.
12:29
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
People aren't being completely honest with organizations.
12:31
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And this isn't just an AI thing.
12:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
This has been happening a little bit longer.
12:35
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
People have been holding two jobs for years now,
12:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know what I mean?
12:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And I don't know that I have an opinion on that other than it is happening and organizations
12:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
aren't happy with it.
12:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so this idea of trust being lost between the humans and the organizations
12:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
that they work for,
12:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it seems like it's increasing.
12:50
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And one of the ways that we've combated that in the past is through good information.
12:53
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But now that half the information is being created by bots or by agents
12:57
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
or by LLMs,
12:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it's more difficult than ever to have trust in somebody unless you're breathing the very
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
same air they are.
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Or you have breathed the same air.
13:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Or you have breathed the same air that they have.
13:08
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What are we replacing,
13:09
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
besides just being in the same room,
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
breathing the same air,
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
what are we replacing to bring back some degree of trustworthiness?
13:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Well, I think it breaks into two things.
13:19
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
One is trust that you're a human.
13:22
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
When I was at Unleashed,
13:23
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I actually saw a couple of interesting technologies that,
13:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, have verification methods and fingers.
13:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I'm waving my finger about all that kind of stuff to try to indicate
13:34
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
that you are actually the person you say you are,
13:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
etc. And so some of this will get that part of it will get solved by technology.
13:40
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But this bigger question of authenticity
13:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and.
13:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
is one,
13:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know,
13:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we know that trust has been declining between people and the organizations
13:52
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
they work for well before AI and LLMs
13:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
took over this whole content thing.
13:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So some of that goes back to how do our
14:02
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
leaders communicate?
14:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
How transparent are they?
14:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David,
14:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
back in the old days,
14:06
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we used to run a survey that said,
14:08
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
how open are your leaders to bad news?
14:10
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And that was always one of the most predictive items,
14:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right?
14:12
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's the same stuff.
14:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Are your leaders trustworthy?
14:15
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Are they straight with folks?
14:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Are they transparent?
14:17
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Are they really trying to be the leaders that people want to follow?
14:21
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think that is going to be a big part of it.
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think the other part of it,
14:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
too, is understanding how and when to use these tools.
14:30
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Danny and I were talking about this earlier today,
14:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you know, because obviously we write,
14:34
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
as do you.
14:35
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And when an LLM can just like fill the space with
14:39
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
stuff, one,
14:41
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
a lot of that stuff wasn't something you actually meant as a writer.
14:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like, I wouldn't really put it that way.
14:46
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Is it kind of close?
14:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yeah, maybe.
14:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But like for somebody else on the other side who's maybe
14:52
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
ascertaining their perception of who you are and what you
14:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
stand for, kind of sort of me,
14:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but not really me.
15:00
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
doesn't really cut it.
15:01
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so thinking through,
15:03
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
when do I actually use this technology?
15:06
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And when do I not?
15:08
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What are the most important things for me to communicate?
15:11
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And how do I make sure I'm being
15:15
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
a good trustee of the other person's time instead of just letting the LLM
15:19
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
fill the space.
15:20
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
These are all skills that we're going to have to develop as we want
15:24
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to continue with our authenticity and connection to others.
15:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think that probably goes both ways too.
15:29
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What signals does the candidate or the employee need
15:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to send or does the organization want them to send?
15:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And then what do they expect back once you already work for the organization?
15:39
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What kind of signals do you need to see from a leader?
15:42
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and in what ways,
15:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and so on.
15:44
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It occurs to me that this is maybe a slight tangent.
15:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
This same conversation is happening inside the walls of organizations.
15:51
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It's happening all the way into education.
15:54
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
A recent conversation with my high school teenager whose
15:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
final kind of big project in history class is the
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
teacher breaking them up into groups of three.
16:05
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
having them record the three students,
16:08
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
having them record essentially a seminar amongst themselves,
16:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
like engage a topic,
16:13
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
answer a question,
16:14
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
debate a topic amongst the three of you.
16:16
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
You can't have any devices in front of you.
16:18
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Just engage the topic in a thoughtful way,
16:22
S… Speaker 6 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right?
16:22
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Like that kind of recording of that video is exactly what,
16:26
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
it's the right signals,
16:27
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right? It's what the teacher needs to see captured in a way that they feel
16:31
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
like they can trust.
16:33
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What it made me think about was another conversation I was having at a conference,
16:36
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
probably you've had similar,
16:37
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
on the talent acquisition side of things,
16:39
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
of companies sort of realizing at the high volume end of hiring,
16:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we've always had,
16:43
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
if you were going to go work seasonally at a department store,
16:47
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you're going to, for a long time,
16:48
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you're going to sit down in front of a terminal and answer a quiz.
16:51
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And on the other end of the spectrum,
16:54
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
if you're going to come work for a big professional services firm,
16:56
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
you're going to go through a day -long,
16:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
very exhaustive case interview process.
17:02
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
What happens when that quiz and that case interview process now applies
17:06
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to every job?
17:07
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But we're doing it at scale so that we're capturing all
17:11
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the signals we need to capture in ways that we can trust.
17:13
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yeah, I think that's a really interesting point,
17:16
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David, and one that we've been working with.
17:17
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So we just finished gathering data from 461 learning tech vendors.
17:21
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And one of the things that popped this year was assessment.
17:24
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So it went from 21 % of these vendors telling me that they offer assessment to
17:29
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
about 89 % saying that they offer.
17:33
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Now, assessment can mean all kinds of things.
17:35
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
It can mean that multiple choice test that you were talking about earlier,
17:37
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
or it can mean a sandbox,
17:38
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
or it can mean a rubric so somebody standing in front of them can assess
17:42
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
whether they know the thing.
17:43
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But increasingly,
17:44
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we are looking for proof that people are who they say they are and can do
17:48
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
the thing that they need to do,
17:49
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
and it's even showing up in the technology that's now available.
17:52
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
This is one of those areas where it's a challenge,
17:54
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but the solution actually sounds to me better than the current state
17:58
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
if we do it right.
17:59
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think it can.
18:00
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think one of the things that we misjudge a lot is the lift on the organization or the lift
18:04
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
on the humans to make sure that we have the right kind of data,
18:06
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right? So increasingly,
18:07
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we're also seeing things like latent data feeding in to tell us,
18:10
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
to give us ideas about how people are working and how they're doing things,
18:13
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
which gets into the gigantic skills discussion.
18:16
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I think you're right.
18:17
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
We can scale in ways that we couldn't four years ago when it comes to assessment.
18:20
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But I wonder sometimes if we're overusing it.
18:24
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And we could get rid of some of the proxies that were really never particularly
18:28
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
useful in the first place.
18:29
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Yes. Like the resume and even more so the cover letter.
18:32
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Oh,
18:33
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I don't know,
18:34
S… Speaker 3 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
David. You're talking crazy now.
18:35
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
But it does require a rethink,
18:37
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right? Your example of the history teacher,
18:40
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
number one,
18:41
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
we all know I have a soft placement heart for history and history teachers,
18:44
S… Speaker 7 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
but...
18:45
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
That required her to fundamentally redesign the assessment slash measurement.
18:49
S… Speaker 4 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
I mean,
18:50
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
one of the biggest challenges we come up with in people analytics is,
18:53
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
well,
18:54
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
these are the data that are easy to access,
18:56
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
so that's what we're going to use,
18:57
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right?
18:58
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
So the multiple choice is easy to access,
19:01
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
so that's what I'm going to use.
19:02
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
Looking at every single one of those videos for every one of those groups,
19:06
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
not so easy to...
19:08
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
grade quickly,
19:09
S… Speaker 1 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
right?
19:09
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
And so that's a different investment in measurement,
19:12
S… Speaker 5 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
different measurement approach,
19:13
S… Speaker 2 (Cap H_2026 MegaTrends_V1)
et cetera, et cetera.
