How Microsoft 365 & Copilot Are Redesigning the Way We Work with Tracy van der Schyff [MVP]

How Microsoft 365 & Copilot Are Redesigning the Way We Work with Tracy van der Schyff [MVP]

Key Takeaways

  • Digital literacy has evolved into digital fluency, shifting the focus from simply operating a computer to using technology with intent, purpose, and responsibility.
  • Organizations often struggle with tool overload and improper storage because they deploy Microsoft 365 applications without establishing a clear digital strategy or explaining the purpose of each tool.
  • The 'Me, We, Us' framework simplifies the complex Microsoft 365 environment by categorizing tools into personal spaces, collaborative spaces, and organizational publishing spaces.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot should not be treated as a quick fix for a broken digital workplace; instead, AI acts as a spotlight that exposes existing permissions, sharing, and governance issues.
  • Working alongside AI can improve human capabilities such as communication, critical thinking, and creativity, provided users learn how to express their intent clearly through prompting.

Microsoft 365 has given organizations more tools than ever to communicate, collaborate, automate, and manage information. Now Microsoft 365 Copilot adds an entirely new layer of AI capability. But behind all the discussion about productivity, automation, agents, and AI, there is a much bigger question: are these technologies simply helping us work faster, or are they fundamentally changing the way we think, learn, communicate, collaborate, and work?In this episode of m365.fm, Mirko Peters sits down with Tracy van der Schyff to explore the human side of Microsoft 365 and Copilot. Tracy has spent years working at the intersection of technology, productivity, digital literacy, training, adoption, and organizational change. Her focus is not simply on teaching people which buttons to click. It is about helping people understand technology, use it with purpose, and become more capable because of it.The conversation goes far beyond Copilot features. Mirko and Tracy discuss digital fluency, Microsoft 365 adoption, information management, AI readiness, change management, responsible AI, the broken digital workplace, and a powerful idea that runs throughout the episode: we design technology, but the technology we create and use also shapes us.

FROM DIGITAL LITERACY TO DIGITAL FLUENCY
For many years, organizations talked about PC literacy and later digital literacy. But Tracy believes those terms no longer fully describe the skills people need in a modern workplace.Knowing how to operate a computer is not enough. Knowing where a button is inside Microsoft Teams or how to upload a document to SharePoint does not necessarily mean somebody understands how to work effectively in a digital environment.Digital fluency goes further. It means understanding the purpose of a technology, knowing when it should be used, understanding how your actions affect other people, and using technology responsibly and intentionally.This becomes even more important as AI enters everyday work. Tracy explains how her original model of eight pillars of digital literacy has evolved into eleven pillars of digital fluency, now incorporating responsible AI use and the additional skills people need when working alongside AI systems.The important distinction is that these are not simply Microsoft 365 skills. They are becoming life skills.AI is also creating unexpected opportunities to develop human skills. Communicating effectively with Copilot requires people to explain what they actually want. Better questions can produce better answers, and those answers can help people formulate better questions the next time. In that sense, working with AI can improve communication, creativity, critical thinking, and the ability to express intent clearly.

THE MICROSOFT 365 TOOL OVERLOAD PROBLEM
Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Loop, Planner, Lists, Power Platform, Copilot and countless other applications give employees enormous capabilities. But providing access to tools does not automatically teach people how those tools should fit together.Organizations often deploy technology and expect employees to figure out the rest.That can result in departmental information being shared from personal OneDrive accounts, Teams being created simply for individual meetings, documents being stored in inappropriate locations, and employees constantly switching between tools without understanding where work actually belongs.When that happens, Tracy argues that blaming users is the wrong response.If an employee was never taught the intent behind Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, or another application, they will naturally choose whatever tool helps them complete the immediate task. The underlying problem is often not the employee. It is the absence of a clear digital strategy.

ME, WE, US: SIMPLIFYING THE DIGITAL WORKPLACE
One framework Tracy uses to make the Microsoft 365 environment easier to understand is ME, WE, US.The ME space represents the individual. These are the tools and information primarily associated with your personal work.The WE space begins when people collaborate around a common goal. Microsoft Teams and collaborative SharePoint environments become particularly relevant here.The US space represents information intended for the broader organization, such as publishing environments and intranets.This sounds simple, and that is precisely the point.Employees should not need to understand every architectural detail behind Microsoft 365 before they can make a sensible decision about where their work belongs. Organizations need to translate complicated technology landscapes into models that ordinary employees can understand and apply.

COPILOT DOES NOT FIX A BROKEN DIGITAL WORKPLACE
One of the strongest messages from the conversation is that Microsoft 365 Copilot should not be treated as a solution for an already broken digital workplace.Copilot does not magically repair years of poor information architecture, excessive sharing, unmanaged Teams, confusing permissions, duplicated documents, abandoned SharePoint sites, or inconsistent working practices.Instead, Tracy describes AI as an amplifier.If an organization has a healthy digital environment, Copilot can amplify that healthy environment. If the underlying environment is unhealthy, AI can make those existing problems significantly more visible.In that sense, Copilot acts like a huge spotlight.Information that may previously have been difficult to discover can suddenly become much easier to surface. That can make organizations believe Copilot created a problem when, in reality, the underlying permissions, sharing practices, or information-management problems may have existed for years.The AI did not necessarily create the mess. It exposed it.

ONTOLOGICAL DESIGN: THE THINGS WE CREATE CHANGE
USA fascinating part of the conversation explores ontological design.The concept sounds complicated, but Tracy explains it in a very practical way: we create things, and the things we create eventually change us.That applies to software, applications, intranets, processes, social media, Microsoft Teams, Copilot, and almost every digital environment people interact with.When someone designs an application, they make decisions about how users will interact with it. Those decisions influence the behavior of the people using the application.The same principle applies at a much larger scale to the modern workplace.Employees can spend many hours every day inside Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft 365, and increasingly Copilot. Those environments are therefore not neutral. They influence how people communicate, how quickly they expect responses, how they organize information, how they collaborate, and even how they think about work.The intention behind what we design matters because what people consume eventually influences them.

WHEN ACTIVITY BECOMES CONFUSED WITH PRODUCTIVITY
Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools have dramatically reduced the friction required to communicate. But reducing friction can also create enormous amounts of noise.Tracy raises an interesting problem: people can begin to use visible activity as proof that they are productive.More messages. More notifications. More updates. More documents. More meetings. More channels.But every communication creates work for somebody else.A message that takes one person a few minutes to write might interrupt dozens or hundreds of other employees. Individually, that interruption may seem insignificant. Across an organization, the cumulative cost can become substantial.The question therefore should not simply be whether Microsoft 365 allows us to communicate faster. Organizations also need to ask whether all of that communication is necessary in the first place.

AI CAN BE MORE THAN A PRODUCTIVITY TOOL
Many discussions about Copilot focus on straightforward productivity scenarios.Summarize my emails. Summarize this meeting. Create a presentation. Rewrite this document. Analyze this information. Help me find something.Those capabilities are useful, but Tracy argues that AI can become something much more interesting.People can use AI to learn.Someone who struggles with delegation can ask Copilot how to become better at delegating. Someone intimidated by AI can ask AI how to begin learning about AI. Someone concerned about cybersecurity can ask how to protect themselves and their family. Someone who lacks confidence with a technology can use AI as a private environment for experimentation and learning.This moves the conversation from simply asking, “How much time can Copilot save?” toward asking, “How can Copilot increase human capability?”That distinction is important.The most valuable use of AI may not always be automating another task. Sometimes it may be helping someone become better at performing that task themselves.

AI DOES NOT REMOVE HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY
Copilot might summarize hundreds of emails, but responsibility does not disappear if an important message is missed.AI can generate a document quickly, but somebody still needs to understand why that document exists.AI can retrieve organizational information, but companies still need to understand permissions, ownership, governance, security, and information management.AI can produce an answer, but people still need the judgment required to evaluate that answer.For Tracy, this is another reason digital fluency becomes more important as AI becomes more capable.Organizations should not respond to increasingly powerful technology by investing less in human skills. They should invest more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital fluency in the modern workplace?

Digital fluency goes beyond basic computer literacy by focusing on understanding the purpose of technology, using tools responsibly, and knowing when and how to apply them effectively in a digital environment.

How can organizations simplify the Microsoft 365 tool overload?

Organizations can simplify tool overload by implementing the 'Me, We, Us' framework, which helps employees clearly understand where personal work, team collaboration, and company-wide information belong.

Does Microsoft 365 Copilot fix a broken digital workplace?

No, Copilot does not fix a broken digital workplace. Rather than repairing poor information architecture or messy permissions, AI acts as a spotlight that makes existing organizational issues more visible.

How does using AI improve human communication skills?

Communicating effectively with AI requires users to articulate their intent clearly through prompts. Better questions yield better answers, which in turn helps people refine their critical thinking and expression.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800
Welcome everybody to the MC65F and podcast.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,040
Microsoft 365 has given organization more tools than ever before to communicate,

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:14,480
to collaborate, to automate and manage information.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,440
Now, Cooper is adding an entirely new layer of capability.

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,680
But there's much bigger question behind all of this.

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,520
Are these technologies simply making us more productive?

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,520
Or are they actually changing the way we think, learn, collaborate, and work?

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:44,240
My guest today is Tracy Funshive, who has spent years of helping people navigate the intersection between technology, productivity,

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,640
digital literacy, training, and change.

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Tracy has an interesting philosophy around technology.

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,280
The things we designed, eventably, shape us in return.

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,280
That becomes a particular relevant as AI ends up the world place.

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Today, we are going behind features and license.

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,560
We talk about Microsoft 365, co-pilot, adoption, digital fluency, change management, and so on.

15
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,600
And ultimately, how organization can use technology to increase human capability rather than simply adding more tools.

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Tracy, welcome to the podcast today.

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,280
Thank you so much.

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,560
Thank you for a very overwhelming, beautiful introduction.

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,600
Okay, I really appreciate that. It's lovely to be here.

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Yeah, before we deep dive into technology and co-pilot, how did you find your way into the Microsoft ecosystem, Tracy?

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,440
I don't think your podcasts are long enough to discuss that.

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,840
I think my life has always been driven by helping people.

23
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,480
And no matter what I did, I always found myself in a path of enablement.

24
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,120
So regardless of what the tool was, and as I said, I won't spend too much time,

25
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,200
but I had a driving school.

26
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
I gave odd classes, a design furniture.

27
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,520
I've just done so many things that I never went and studied technology.

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
I never moved into the technology space.

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,680
People found me.

30
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,520
I think the need for enablement found me wherever I was.

31
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,320
It was never an intent that I had to go into a specific direction.

32
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,480
And my passion is around people.

33
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,880
And if my foot in the door is with Microsoft,

34
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,720
and I can help companies help people just be better than they were the day before then, that's where I am.

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,720
Awesome.

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,120
You have one or one one, yeah, what I would say, basmode,

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,280
what you are really deep dive into digital literacy.

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
What is digital literacy for people?

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,680
They heard this keyboard for the first time.

40
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Sorry.

41
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,480
There's a reason about calling a digital literacy now,

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,160
because for many years, we refer to PC literacy.

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,400
And it became quite a negative thing if you talk about PC literacy,

44
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,400
because people think that if I say we're not PC-literated,

45
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440
it means they cannot use a mouse or a keyboard.

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,120
And it's an actual fact that it's much bigger than that.

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,880
PC literacy isn't just that.

48
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,400
And if we start looking at digital literacy,

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,720
which is what I changed to a couple of years ago,

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,360
where there are so many tools we can use,

51
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,800
it's also about using tools with purpose,

52
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,480
and understanding what they meant to be used for,

53
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,400
but then also being responsible users.

54
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440
And I've just started changing it again.

55
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,320
I've now started changing it into digital fluency,

56
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,960
because it's a life skill.

57
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960
So it's not just about the tools,

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
but we have to be responsible,

59
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,800
and we have to use it within the intent,

60
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,880
and we really need to understand the purpose,

61
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920
because it's easy to use a keyboard,

62
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
but we can also do damage with a keyboard, right?

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,880
So that's why I've changed my philosophy,

64
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,800
even towards digital fluency now,

65
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520
because it's not just about can I use a computer,

66
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,040
is can I use it correctly, efficiently?

67
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Am I effective at using it?

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Does it actually waste time?

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,200
But am I a responsible user of it?

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
And I think in the era of AI,

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,920
the responsible use of technology is going to become

72
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,120
the most important thing,

73
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,920
apart from all the skills that we should focus on.

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Yeah, you say Microsoft,

75
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,000
or there's a lot of two Microsoft head heads also.

76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
There's a lot of things, so I say Teams Outlook,

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,360
SharePoint, OneDrive, New Planner,

78
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,800
lists the power platform, mobile, and so on.

79
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,080
How can we fight against these two overlord

80
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400
or how should employees understand

81
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,720
where work actually belongs?

82
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,120
That's again a very heavy topic.

83
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,800
We can take a long weekend for that,

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,880
if you ever want to come visit South Africa,

85
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,200
but if I had to pick one thing that people know most about me

86
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,160
or that company's know about me is that I'm very empathetic.

87
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Okay, so I'm very, I lean towards understanding

88
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,840
why people do things wrong.

89
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,960
I don't always have a lot of patients for companies

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,880
that does things wrong, because as an employee in a company,

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,280
I have a set of tools, I have tasks that I have to do as part of my job,

92
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,120
and many times, especially with Office 365,

93
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,720
Microsoft 365, and especially now with co-pilot,

94
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,600
we just switch it on.

95
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,000
And as IT people and also from a management point of view,

96
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880
we think if we switch it on, they're going to use it,

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,160
they're going to be fine, but it actually does much more damage.

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,840
So if I think of how can employees do the spits,

99
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,640
I think the first thing that companies should focus on

100
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,080
is digital strategies.

101
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,120
If we don't look at the product stack,

102
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240
and of course it's much bigger than just Microsoft 365,

103
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,400
I mean, even though that's what I focus on,

104
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,960
but if I just look at all of that tools that we have in the platform,

105
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,000
plus all the other tools that we use in our companies,

106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,480
where is that single description that really tells employees

107
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
what is the purpose of this application in our company

108
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,800
and when I'll be supposed to use what?

109
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,600
I so often will ask, look and it's dangerous,

110
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760
you never want to sit next to me on an aeroplane

111
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,520
on a long haul flight like 16 hours because I'm going to look at your day stop,

112
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,120
I'm going to look at where is your one drive,

113
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,400
I'm going to look at all of the stuff,

114
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,040
but I always ask employees for me to open up where they work,

115
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,480
where do they store their files?

116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:50,960
And so often, I will see big departmental folders shed out of one drive,

117
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,640
I will see teams created just for a specific meeting

118
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,400
to have a chat or share a document.

119
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360
And then I will have someone in management or in IT,

120
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080
so users are so stupid.

121
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,600
And that's where the troubles start,

122
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840
because I'm like, it's not the users.

123
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,360
If they weren't explained, the intent of the tools,

124
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840
then we cannot expect them to just figure it out.

125
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,920
They're going to use whatever they can use to do the specific task at hand

126
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,120
in front of them right now.

127
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120
So I have a lot of empathy for that,

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,280
but I don't think companies are taking a step back and saying,

129
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,040
let's just relook everything.

130
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Does everyone really understand the purpose?

131
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,760
There's this infographic that I often use,

132
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920
and I'd gladly share it with your afterwards if you want.

133
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,960
There's two specific ones, one about digital fluency,

134
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,440
and all those skills and how it's evolved for me.

135
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,280
And the other one is an infographic that I designed many years ago,

136
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,280
called Me We Us.

137
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,080
And if I look at any journey that an employee has,

138
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,000
that's the three main areas.

139
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,800
WIRM I in the company, what are the tools that I use to be more effective and productive?

140
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,000
So what is my space?

141
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,520
And I'm referring, I'll cook maybe one note, maybe one drive, etc.

142
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,520
So, or using to do.

143
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,120
So that's my meat pillar.

144
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
The meat pillar is where we start having groups of people,

145
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,360
of course, that works on a common goal.

146
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,000
So that's where Microsoft Teams starts coming in,

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,920
and Viva starts coming in.

148
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,520
And then uspace, and even though we know SharePoint sits behind it,

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,960
or most of it,

150
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360
the uspace, of course, is more publishing sites,

151
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320
where we make information available for employees,

152
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,000
intranet, flows, type of things.

153
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,600
And those three pillars are the things that I focus on when I work with companies

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,360
to clarify it for users.

155
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Because if you open up that portal and you look at all those apps,

156
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,000
there's no way to make sense of that.

157
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,040
But if you can put it in those buckets where someone understands,

158
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,440
this is Tracy, this is my me space,

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,560
these are the tools I use when it just impacts me.

160
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,120
This is my we space where I work with yourself,

161
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,520
my co- and my friends, and in HR,

162
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,360
these are the tools we use for that.

163
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,280
And that's how we collaborate on tools.

164
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,280
This is the uspace where it's the company

165
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,480
and where we can access information and use from the intranets.

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,480
It's such a simple concept,

167
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,000
but very few companies ever take that step back and try.

168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
And you know, they're saying, I mean, who knows,

169
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,760
maybe it was Einstein, you never know,

170
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760
with AI these days, it could have been anyone,

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,560
right? It could have been, I don't know.

172
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,640
Lady Gaga could have said it, I don't know.

173
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:23,280
But it's so clear, they say that if we cannot explain something simply,

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,160
then perhaps we don't understand it ourselves.

175
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,760
And I think especially COVID,

176
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,800
and I mean, I don't want it to use it as an example,

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,280
it was an excuse, but COVID definitely drove

178
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,360
a lot of digital transformations in companies.

179
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Companies were forced to very quickly start working remotely,

180
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440
which might not have been in their close future.

181
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240
So suddenly we had resilience of people working

182
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,400
from home and having to use the tools

183
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,080
that they might have just started using

184
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,520
or that IT switched on last night, right?

185
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,640
So I understand doing things in crisis mode.

186
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,880
A lot of times we have to do things

187
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,960
that we'll look at afterwards and go,

188
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,720
that was a really stupid decision.

189
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,120
But you know, I survived, I'm a human, bad stuff happens.

190
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520
That's what I had to do in that situation.

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,280
But very few companies have in the last six years

192
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,360
taking a step back and said, "Okay, we're breathing, we're okay."

193
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600
What decisions that we might back then?

194
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,880
What should we change?

195
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,480
You know, maybe some of those decisions

196
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,760
was on the fly like this.

197
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,520
And I'm quick to point fingers at IT.

198
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,600
I suppose I'm also IT,

199
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,880
but I'm so empathetic that I live in all the spaces.

200
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,000
As technology people,

201
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,960
we're not very good at admitting that we've done something

202
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,360
that's no longer valuable,

203
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,800
and that we need to change both.

204
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,920
We're very quick to communicate successes.

205
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Oh, we've moved 15 terabytes of data last night

206
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,760
to this server or something.

207
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Wonderful.

208
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,880
But are we prepared to communicate and say,

209
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,560
"Listen, back then, we told everyone just to create teams

210
00:10:58,560 --> 00:10:59,920
so that they can work?"

211
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,360
We're gonna switch it off,

212
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,760
because that's something that I tell everyone to do.

213
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,600
We're gonna switch off the creation of teams

214
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,280
to simplify your life.

215
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,520
This is the button you click when you ask for a team,

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
but let's explain why teams are needed.

217
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Because employees are so overwhelmed

218
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,280
by everything I cannot even imagine.

219
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,440
And now we're throwing co-pilot at it because it's the fixer.

220
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520
We look, "Okay, it's chaos. We know it's chaos."

221
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,000
But co-pilot is gonna fix everything.

222
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,520
I'm like, "No, it's not."

223
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Co-pilot is this amazing thing that's got this huge spotlight

224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,520
that it just shines on everything,

225
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,760
everything that wasn't the dark before,

226
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,200
that we could hide behind.

227
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,840
So co-pilot is just this wonderful, beautiful, huge spotlight.

228
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,440
So that's gonna be the next phase,

229
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,720
MIRK over everyone's gonna say,

230
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,200
"Oh, come save us from co-pilot."

231
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,880
That's caused so much chaos.

232
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,880
That's where we are.

233
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,320
I think we need to simplify it.

234
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,480
I think people need to take a step back and say,

235
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,560
"Listen, these are the decisions we made.

236
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,360
They're not valuable or applicable anymore.

237
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,440
It doesn't serve our company anymore."

238
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,480
And also, as we know, technology is changing daily.

239
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,120
The decisions we made last week, Monday,

240
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,680
might not even be relevant anymore.

241
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,880
So we need to change the way that we put procedures in place

242
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,400
and the decisions we make

243
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,240
and become much more agile at that

244
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640
because it's not serving our employees.

245
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,400
I can only imagine how they can struggle.

246
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,640
But as you can see, I have a lot to say about that.

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,480
So let me keep quiet for a little bit.

248
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Yeah, I think co-pilot is so interesting.

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,240
If it's Staratars, it's more like,

250
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,160
"Oh, Kleepy is back. It's helped.

251
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,360
Give you some tips."

252
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,480
Then it's...

253
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,200
What with you?

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,960
Now we have these out and all this agent,

255
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,480
stuff, work, and end co-pilot studio.

256
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,520
And also, we have Foundry and so on.

257
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,120
But what will you say?

258
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,000
What fundamentally changed when co-pilot entered the workplace?

259
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,480
I don't think anything changed.

260
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,920
I'm going to...

261
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Well, of course, I'm talking technically first.

262
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Blackform-wise, I'm what changed before I say

263
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,520
"Oh, hell's gonna change employees."

264
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Again, I'm saying co-pilot became a person

265
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,840
that you can ask anything that...

266
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
It's like that old employee in a company

267
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,320
that knows all the gossip.

268
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,080
It knows that Sarah dated Peter 25 years ago

269
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,160
and the new employees doesn't know it yet.

270
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,280
Co-pilot knows that.

271
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,200
Co-pilot's that person who makes the tea

272
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,880
for everyone and listens.

273
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,960
So if you leave your office door open

274
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,800
and he comes inside with a cup of tea

275
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,560
and he hears you talking about something,

276
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:41,680
co-pilot hears that.

277
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:44,080
So as it can be, a trusted friend

278
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480
to help you understand things better

279
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,720
it also knows everything based on the fact

280
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,560
that we share everything.

281
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,880
So from a front-end perspective,

282
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,600
or from a technical, from a platform perspective,

283
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,840
I think it's just about suddenly having a listening tool

284
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,840
that puts spotlight on things.

285
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,960
If I can put it that way,

286
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,880
in that case people terribly, okay?

287
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Because it's now exposing stuff that's been wrong

288
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,800
for many, many years, okay?

289
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,840
And that's the biggest fear that people have.

290
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,160
And I'm like, "It's not co-pilot.

291
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,160
You've done that for years.

292
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Sorry, welcome to the party."

293
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,720
But I think if used responsibly,

294
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,440
and not co-pilot, I'm not referring to co-pilot specifically.

295
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,320
I'm talking about where we store our content.

296
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,360
If our employees understood the purpose of one-drive

297
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,280
and teams and stand-alone share point,

298
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480
if I can call it that, understood how sharing should work,

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200
understood how exposing works,

300
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,120
then co-pilot's gonna be an amazing tool to add into that,

301
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440
to become extra hands for that.

302
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,440
But at the moment, that's just ears,

303
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160
and it's a gossip person, and it just talks.

304
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Stelling everyone all the nonsense

305
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,760
that we've been talking for years.

306
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,320
So, yeah, so for me,

307
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,760
is co-pilot had a massive impact on my life, or AI in general?

308
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,240
But it doesn't really change anything technically on the platform.

309
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,360
It's just it's posing it.

310
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,160
It's making it, putting it in everyone's faces,

311
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960
which is what's making people uncomfortable, of course.

312
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,640
Yeah, that's interesting, because a lot of people

313
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,280
are a lot of marketing, say, AI inside,

314
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,000
the core pilot ready.

315
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,880
I don't know, all those buzzwords.

316
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,080
The marketing stuff.

317
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Yeah, yeah, say, "Oh, let's do this new work," and so on.

318
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,480
But did we, from your perspective,

319
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,520
change the digital literacy to an AI literacy, as well,

320
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,160
or did it also merely the same?

321
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,680
I definitely think so.

322
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,520
That digital fluency that I spoke about now includes aspects

323
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,560
of AI.

324
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,960
So, my initial digital literacy was eight pillars,

325
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,800
eight pillars of digital literacy that I just confessed for years,

326
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,240
and I've now changed it into the 11 pillars of digital fluency,

327
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,000
which definitely includes unresponsible AI use, etc.

328
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,160
So, it's another platform.

329
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,000
It's another application that we use,

330
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,320
but all of those gives us skills.

331
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,920
So, just like that, co-pilot also gives us skills.

332
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,200
I joke, I did a meme a while ago, a graphic that I designed, of course, with co-pilot,

333
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,040
but I did this graphic where this man is like whispering,

334
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,520
he's standing next to robots, right?

335
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,000
And he's saying that, "I'm so clever.

336
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,560
If I ask it good questions, it gives me good answers."

337
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,680
And co-pilot whispers, and it says, "I'm so clever.

338
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
If I give it good results, it gives me better prompts next time."

339
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,280
So, there's an incredible skill that AI will be developing us,

340
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,120
and because we start using it, which is a communication skill.

341
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,720
Many people don't think of it that way.

342
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,760
They think, "Oh, communication is between humans."

343
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,920
But people are starting to communicate different,

344
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,200
and they're starting to be more clear about what it is that they want as well,

345
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,840
whereas humans, we're actually terrible at that.

346
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
So, apart from using it responsibly,

347
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,240
we're also learning a lot of normal digital literacy skills.

348
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,680
We're learning to be more creative.

349
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,120
We're learning to communicate better, to express ourselves better.

350
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:22,560
We're learning to document things better, even though everyone thinks,

351
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,160
"Oh, AI is doing everything."

352
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480
That's not actually how it works.

353
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,880
It's helping us be better at what we do.

354
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,440
And if you're bad at what you do, it's going to help you be worse at what you do.

355
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,560
Don't make a mistake.

356
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:40,240
It doesn't just work positively, but if you're passionate about building a good presentation,

357
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,480
then AI can help you be better at.

358
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,760
You know, it can help you with some of the skills that you thought you were lacking before.

359
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,600
So, definitely more that we're adding to the skillset.

360
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,680
I think I fall into a bit of a dog haul of research last week,

361
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,920
because I suppose it is something that keeps me awake at night.

362
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,520
I worry about people that worry about AI, right?

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040
That's an interesting concept.

364
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,920
But I started going into research around the industrial revolution

365
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,280
about the change.

366
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,200
Did we just as humans have gone through over hundreds of years?

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,480
Whatever those were, whether it was from horses to cars or that doesn't matter, right?

368
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,240
And it's exactly the same cycle we're going through again.

369
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,320
Every time we go through exactly the same cycle.

370
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,960
And all of those optimizations, the world has gone through over the years,

371
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,360
has always had positive and negative sides.

372
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,400
Anyways, this is not new at all.

373
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,120
So, I think if you just take a step back as well and say,

374
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,040
"Okay, the bad we see is actually us doing it, right?

375
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,560
We need to remember that."

376
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,760
"Okay, it's just amplifying how bad we are as humans,

377
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,760
and our evil we can be as humans."

378
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,760
But still, these wonderful skills, it can go both ways.

379
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,080
Mocha, it's a difficult thing to answer.

380
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,840
It can definitely make things worse,

381
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,400
and it can make things a lot better, but it's our choice.

382
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,680
I think that's the important thing.

383
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,880
Yeah, I think it's interesting.

384
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,560
And yeah, we have all the cycles.

385
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,840
And yeah,

386
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,800
I'm not really sure is it's the real big change we have

387
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,000
because we have all the data science stuff

388
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,120
before we have voice recognition services since years.

389
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:29,360
I think it makes us more productive,

390
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:33,280
but the bad side, I think it's more we doing,

391
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,280
think a little bit less.

392
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,400
We see it on LinkedIn when we post,

393
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,520
when I post,

394
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320
I often use AI for a variety of years,

395
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:48,800
but then I think I have read a little bit from your post

396
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,320
and from your content,

397
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,840
and you talk about the unorthological design.

398
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,560
About this concept, really interesting.

399
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,320
Can you explain that concept in, I say, simple terms?

400
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,240
Yeah, so,

401
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,960
I mean, if so many fancy names for many things in life, right?

402
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,920
If we, if we just think about it simply,

403
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,640
let's take it, I don't cook at all, by the way.

404
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,680
I care if you used to cook.

405
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,080
I mean, there's many things in life, although I'll change tires,

406
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,080
but I definitely don't cook.

407
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,360
I care if you use,

408
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:23,920
but even if you had to go to the kitchen,

409
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,760
whatever intent you put into making a dish,

410
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520
the ingredients that you add to it,

411
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,000
that thing that you create and end up consuming

412
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,440
ends up changing you.

413
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,440
It's the same as painting a painting.

414
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,880
So, the intent we put into creating something,

415
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,840
eventually that does come back and changes us.

416
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,960
And I mean, we do a lot of things to change as other people as well.

417
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,120
So, ontological design is a very important thing for me

418
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,240
when it comes to the fact that I want people to

419
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,040
think about what they create and about the behind.

420
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,040
Because you're right, AI does put a lot of

421
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,040
additional content out there with thought has not gone that much into it.

422
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,600
And again, that's not, I asked fault.

423
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,320
That's our fault for not faltering through that,

424
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600
for not being able to differentiate that,

425
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,440
and to having intent and purpose behind it.

426
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,160
So, I think simply put ontological design,

427
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,920
it's the same as building an application,

428
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,280
building a leave application.

429
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,320
That developer, the UX,

430
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,280
or CX person,

431
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,640
the person that designs the form,

432
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,880
the person that looks at the business requirements,

433
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,880
all of that impacts people again.

434
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,520
And it impacts us as humans.

435
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,800
The systems we use, the things we create,

436
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,160
we so much more than our jobs,

437
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600
but every single thing that we touch changes us.

438
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,200
That impacts us.

439
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,400
And if we can maybe have a bit more thinking behind that,

440
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,960
with how it impacts people,

441
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,640
the things they have to consume,

442
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160
because think of every application that we use,

443
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,120
think of every social media post that you read.

444
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,640
Think of every app that you're open on your phone.

445
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,920
Imagine that being food.

446
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,640
Every one of those things.

447
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,360
We think a little bit different when it comes to food,

448
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,120
because a little bit, we'll say,

449
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,120
"Oh, that's not going to make me feel great if I consume that."

450
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:21,440
Right?

451
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,000
But everything around us is similar to food.

452
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720
It's something that we consume that changes our DNA,

453
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,920
it changes how we function,

454
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,440
it changes how we think.

455
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,360
So for me, it's really some people,

456
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,960
it's just about our down think,

457
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,680
there's always so much good intent

458
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,800
and purpose into what we put out there for people to consume.

459
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
And that can relate to pretty much everything in life.

460
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,320
It's not just building.

461
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,680
I think back then,

462
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,200
when I started reading up about it and researching,

463
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,160
it was much more around the applications that we built

464
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,000
and in trying to eat some things.

465
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,520
But the more that this has moved on,

466
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,880
the more I've realised that it's pretty much everything out there.

467
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,280
The car you drive changes you as a person.

468
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,440
The movies you watch,

469
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,640
the food you consume,

470
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,320
the friends you hang out with.

471
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960
That's ontological design because it's our,

472
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,840
it's our choice,

473
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,480
look, our two friends that we all think is worth.

474
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,400
It's our choice to drive a certain car.

475
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,920
For employees, we don't always have that much choice

476
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,280
with the applications we use

477
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,640
and the things that we expose to.

478
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,560
But perhaps if people just put a bit more intent

479
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,440
into what happens off to people, use it.

480
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,120
Not whether people are happy using it if that makes things.

481
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,640
Yeah, yeah, I think that's interesting

482
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,400
because I think most people, I don't know,

483
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,320
we sleep eight hours, we work eight hours,

484
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,240
and we have eight hours.

485
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,760
You work eight hours?

486
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,800
What?

487
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,400
You work eight hours?

488
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,520
You're such a lucky man.

489
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Is that a swiss thing?

490
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,800
Actually, I'm not in flight, so I don't work.

491
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,760
There's shaman.

492
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Whatever you want to work, but yes, anyway.

493
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,960
So let's say eight hours.

494
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Normal people should work approximately eight hours.

495
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,560
Yes.

496
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:09,760
And they spend so many time with Microsoft tools,

497
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,040
especially, I say teams.

498
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,320
I feel, if I were, I spend nearly the world time in teams.

499
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,120
Now, we have also outlawed Microsoft 365.

500
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,800
And now we have the increasingly used of co-pilot.

501
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,120
Do you think those tools effectively

502
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:30,640
shaping human's behavior?

503
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,120
Absolutely.

504
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,520
Absolutely, that.

505
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Now, I've got to, of course, it definitely changes us.

506
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480
I mean, just like tools get developed

507
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,360
to support certain skills, tools also change skills.

508
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:54,000
So the way that we, using simple things

509
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,160
with the way we used to communicate with each other.

510
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,160
So we used that in person conversations.

511
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,240
And then, or send letters or write letters.

512
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,480
And then with technology, of course, that's all changed.

513
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
So if I have to think of teams as well,

514
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,120
where we just sit in this digital workroom.

515
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:16,960
And I have to contribute a lot of the noise and teams to that.

516
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840
But I think as humans, we've become quite selfish

517
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:27,200
to think that activity equals productivity, if that makes sense.

518
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,640
I think we're too noisy.

519
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,360
So that's something that I talk about a lot in teams is that

520
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,760
people tend to want to prove that they are active

521
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,040
and working by pushing activities out.

522
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,800
You don't have to tell people that you do what you do.

523
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,960
You know, you should rather just ask when you need something.

524
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,880
So that's definitely changed something for me in the workplace

525
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,920
as well.

526
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,120
Purposeful people are with pushing activities out

527
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:55,040
to show that they're busy, which is unnecessary.

528
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,360
You know, so I think that's changed

529
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,600
definitely the way that we work together.

530
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,320
It's a bad thing.

531
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,320
We communicate too much.

532
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,400
I will communicate.

533
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
I'm talking about in a collaborative space now, of course.

534
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,520
So especially teams.

535
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,160
And we communicate too much content.

536
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,880
Yeah, it's just, I don't know.

537
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,760
I think often we have, I don't know, there are a hundred employees.

538
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,040
I write one message.

539
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,760
I take five minutes and the other take all a minute to read it

540
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,120
and the company often lose then a hundred minutes.

541
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,440
Yeah, time.

542
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,000
What did you think?

543
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:44,720
How can AI help us here to get more efficient, especially, I think,

544
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,680
my co-pilot for chance?

545
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,720
I think that's a good question.

546
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,640
And of course, that's something that everyone's asking.

547
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,840
And I'm actually going to take a step back from that.

548
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,840
Because if you had to just go and look at social media,

549
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,560
if you had to go and look at the content that people are putting out.

550
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,160
And again, something that I've often, over the years,

551
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,520
focused on is not the most fanciest tools.

552
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,880
I've always stepped back to the normal tools we've had for years.

553
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,360
I've said, can everyone just calm down about agents

554
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,360
and just learn how to use Google first?

555
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,320
Okay, I'm just like saying, everyone, because you can't even ask

556
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,760
these different questions. So that's why I always go back to digital literacy

557
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,000
or digital fluency because I think people that doesn't have those necessary skills

558
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,880
will be even worse at using AI.

559
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,040
So that's one thing that I think of.

560
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,600
So if you had to go and look at the top 10 ways to save time with AI,

561
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,000
right, the thing would normally be, you know,

562
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,960
getting on top of your email's quicker or I'm summarizing a document quicker

563
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,120
or something, which is absolutely true.

564
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:53,920
So of course, if I had to look at my life, I'm receiving sometimes

565
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,920
200 emails a day. It's just, it's impossible.

566
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,400
So it's become completely impossible for me to even try and work through that

567
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,800
while sitting on meetings for eight hours a day.

568
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,560
So in that aspect, I'm filtering through the noise.

569
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,560
It's helped me a lot to be able to do that.

570
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,880
But I can never, ever lose sight of the fact that it's still my responsibility.

571
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,040
If I still miss something very important, like the boss telling me that if you don't do this by

572
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,640
at a clock tomorrow morning, you fired and copilot misses that in my summary, I can't blame AI.

573
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,400
You know, that's something that's important.

574
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:35,760
But something that I recently started focusing on is, and I did put an article out about that as well,

575
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:41,360
starting to think because I suppose I see myself like a tech therapist.

576
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,000
I deal a lot with people's fears of technology, right?

577
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,640
So it's not just about making a better at the tool.

578
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,040
I believe that every human has the ability.

579
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,320
I should be careful to say every human because I've met a couple.

580
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:58,240
But I believe that most humans have the ability to teach themselves to do incredible things.

581
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,240
If they have the self-esteem, okay?

582
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080
So that's a good place to start.

583
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,720
If you think you can, then you can.

584
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,680
If you think you cannot, then you cannot.

585
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,760
So that's a very simple way to just think of it.

586
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:17,120
So something that I then started focusing on a bit more is the fear around AI

587
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,760
and how we can actually use AI to help us with the fear we have with AI.

588
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,520
It's a bit of a conundrum, right?

589
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,480
It's an interesting thing.

590
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,360
So people are suddenly flustered saying, "How am I going to use AI?"

591
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,360
I see that Susan and H are so brilliant at putting things together.

592
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,280
How am I ever going to learn these skills?

593
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,960
Well, you can use AI to teach you AI, right?

594
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,720
And I think people don't always think of it that way.

595
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,880
It's a bit of a strange thing to think of.

596
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:51,680
Even when it comes around fears, something that I've started doing is that the things that would get stuck in my head, like this.

597
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:57,120
I now discuss with AI and say,

598
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,880
"You know what, I'm really worried about AI taking over the world.

599
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,840
You know, I'm worried about losing everything that I'm passionate about.

600
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,200
How do you think I can protect myself against you?"

601
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,080
And you'd be pretty amazed at what comes back at you.

602
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,320
So that's ontological design.

603
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,840
What you're putting at system can come back to you positively

604
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,920
if what you're putting to it is positive, right?

605
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,320
So if I then look again at how this helps people,

606
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,320
there's lots you can read out there of how it can help you.

607
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:32,320
The first thing you have to understand is if you think you can, you can.

608
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:39,840
So take that first small step, a lot of people are afraid of it. Take that first small step and say,

609
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,080
"Listen, Coke, ballad, I'm kind of new at this.

610
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,000
I actually don't even know where to get started.

611
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,720
Why don't you discuss?"

612
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,680
So think of it, you've been a, you've been a, you've had an assistant to point it for you.

613
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,520
The company is paying for you for an assistant and it just sits there in the corner, right?

614
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,800
So maybe you've never had an assistant before.

615
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,680
I'm not great at delegating, okay?

616
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,840
So that's something I'm asking AI to help me with.

617
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,760
How can I become better at delegating stuff so that it understands me and my quirks a bit better?

618
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,960
So to say, I'm not good at passing work on.

619
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,560
I've got this project that I'm on.

620
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200
How do I make sure that the team around me stays busy?

621
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,560
And that's where it's become super valuable for me.

622
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,760
Is actually being open with AI with the things that I'm struggling with

623
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,400
instead of focusing on that fancy things up there?

624
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Like listen, I'm really bad at responding in time on things.

625
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,280
What do you think?

626
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,320
Two or three things that I can help to be better at that or something?

627
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,720
I don't think people realize that it's just sitting there in the corner and it's only

628
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,040
going to throw it at you, what it is that you throw at it.

629
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,680
So if you wanted to only summarize emails, go for it.

630
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,200
Summarize your emails.

631
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:56,480
But there's a much bigger psychological and a fluency thing that it can help us with.

632
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,120
But a lot of people don't know that they can ask us to do that.

633
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,080
And that's where there's a lot of the value for me.

634
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,520
Like that article that I put out for a lot of friends of mine.

635
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,000
I don't have children, but a lot of friends of mine who have children

636
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,600
or we have an parents that are much older already and using technology and causing chaos

637
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:21,760
because of cyberthreats and spam and fishing and being attacked and their money is being stolen.

638
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,720
And people just are so afraid of the AI and I said,

639
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,280
well, why don't you ask AI how you can protect yourself against the stuff that's happening?

640
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:35,440
So I wrote that article to help parents prepare their children for AI and for cyberthreats

641
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,040
and for the scary stuff that's out there.

642
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,680
So that's a bit of a different way, I think, because there's a lot of content being put out there.

643
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,680
What is the 10 prompts you can use?

644
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,240
That's not what we need.

645
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,000
There's enough content out there.

646
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,920
And you can tell co-pilot or any AI, tell me over the next six months.

647
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Help me with one thing a day so I can learn and build my skills.

648
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,600
But we're too afraid to ask because as humans, we so used to doing everything ourselves.

649
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,040
I'll just struggle through this.

650
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,240
I'll just work 10 to 12 hours a day and I'm guilty at it.

651
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,320
This is a process that I'm going through.

652
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,000
And that's why it's important for me to share the human side of AI.

653
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,440
A lot of my blogs these days have gone much more around the human side,

654
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,400
the human side of AI, which is a strange way of looking at it.

655
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,240
But because there's a lot of other people focusing on the agents and the prompts,

656
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,760
I actually don't care about that.

657
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,120
I want people to realize.

658
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,480
And it's so interesting that you said ontological design because it's something I don't think of often.

659
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,840
I suppose it becomes a way of life or just a way of thinking.

660
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,040
But it's exactly what we should be doing.

661
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Put good into it and you're going to get good back from it.

662
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,160
That's changed what you're putting back into the world.

663
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,640
And what you get back from the world is going to be so much better.

664
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,840
And do the same with AI.

665
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,360
Do good with it.

666
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,240
Do good to yourself.

667
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,360
Number one, we are our first priority.

668
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Being good to ourselves, being more efficient,

669
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,720
being effective, having less fear is good to us.

670
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,000
It's personal while being.

671
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,760
We have to focus on that first.

672
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,920
Before you become better in a team.

673
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,960
You become better at you.

674
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,160
That means spice.

675
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:10,960
You become better there.

676
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,720
How can you become better there?

677
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:16,080
Because again, whoever you become affects those around you.

678
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,240
And then when you move into the wee spice,

679
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:21,680
then you're a better team leader or you're a better part of a team or something.

680
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:21,920
So,

681
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,040
yeah, I think we need to focus more on the psychology and how we can

682
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,720
to be better humans actually.

683
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:31,040
I think that's going to become a big thing for me.

684
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,880
I think I'll put out another article on that.

685
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,120
How can we be better humans because of AI?

686
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,240
Because it's true.

687
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:36,800
We can.

688
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,320
Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

689
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,480
So I have four years, Aldona.

690
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,800
And she actually use ChatGPT a lot now.

691
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,440
She has this

692
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,320
her own workspace.

693
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,400
And she learned writing.

694
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,280
Well, she was ChatGPT because she liked to prompt

695
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,640
image for, for, for, I don't know what the English word for,

696
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,560
to paint it with her.

697
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,600
So sorry, prompt there are all the ones.

698
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,400
So that's really good.

699
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,960
But I think a little bit, we have, I don't know,

700
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,080
COVID times and all the companies bring all all the tools to the people,

701
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,040
especially the teams.

702
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,920
Chatboy and Lube and so on.

703
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,920
But, yeah, I think people was a little bit over-round.

704
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:36,880
And I think we have a lot of, I call it the broken digital workplace.

705
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,440
A little, little, little apt key agree.

706
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,000
Now the company say, okay, now we have co-pilot

707
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
to fix it.

708
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,120
So.

709
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,160
What did you think or what's happened then an organization

710
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,520
introduced co-pilot into a, yeah, I say,

711
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,640
poorly structured Microsoft 365 environment?

712
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Which by the way, most of them are, I'm sorry to say that.

713
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,120
I've very seldom seen companies that are using technology correctly.

714
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,360
Very so luck seriously, not often.

715
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:19,600
So, wow, I'm, indefinitely, quite well known for stepping on toes.

716
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,360
So, again, if I had to pick a role for myself, it's this ruptor.

717
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,560
Because I'm so passionate about what I do,

718
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,680
I don't mind being the person that rubs the plasters.

719
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,960
So, a lot of times in companies when I get involved,

720
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,200
it's my biggest role is to be at this ruptor.

721
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,520
It's to just point fingers and be brutally honest.

722
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,840
I've got, I've got very little tact.

723
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,120
I'm carrying it's not because I don't care, it's because I care too much.

724
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:49,200
So, when it comes to IT and management, because I blame the top layer,

725
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,640
okay, I'm very sorry to say it.

726
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,400
If I hear another person say that I end user is stupid,

727
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,640
I'm going to smash them in a fight, okay?

728
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
So, late that day of warning out there,

729
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,440
we'll smash you in your fights, okay?

730
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,440
Because it's not a fault, okay?

731
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,200
You do get people that are difficult,

732
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,560
that don't want to learn or challenge.

733
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,720
Of course, we do that, but it's fear.

734
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,080
That's all fear-abased.

735
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,400
If you go into a meeting in someone's miserable,

736
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,560
there's a project manager that's really miserable,

737
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,880
and he's giving everyone grief, I can promise you,

738
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,920
he had it that bad day at home, always be it really hurts

739
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,320
on a previous project, or it was leaked down

740
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,160
on a previous project or something, okay?

741
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,600
We're all just humans.

742
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,560
So, if I look at applying that magic ingredient,

743
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,640
now called AI in companies, okay?

744
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,120
And whether it's co-pilot or whatever it might be,

745
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,960
as I mentioned,

746
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,400
it doesn't fix things, okay, it amplifies.

747
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,640
So, if you had a healthy environment,

748
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,640
it's going to amplify that healthy environment.

749
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,600
That's what you, again,

750
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,160
ontological design, how do we keep on going back to this,

751
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,640
that's amazing that you brought that up today.

752
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,480
It's so amazing how relevant it is.

753
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,560
But if your environment's healthy,

754
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,520
it's going to make it healthier.

755
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,720
If your environment's unhealthy,

756
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,360
it's going to put a mess of spotlight on it, okay?

757
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,200
And it's going to be the full-tiled

758
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,040
for the next thing that goes wrong.

759
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,040
Oh, we've got disasters,

760
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,480
we've got data breaches,

761
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,400
everything because of co-pilot.

762
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,360
No, it's not.

763
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,600
You have problems for years,

764
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,880
you just didn't know it, okay?

765
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,000
So, I think as humans,

766
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,440
and let's compare, let's do that.

767
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,160
I love using jacks to posing or something.

768
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,680
I love comparing things,

769
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:24,640
and you know,

770
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,400
a creator of two, I don't know,

771
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,360
what ever type of site.

772
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,760
So, let's think about as medicine, okay?

773
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,000
What's the easiest thing to do?

774
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,840
You have a headache,

775
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,360
so take a headache tablet, right?

776
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,240
Of course, I also drink medicines.

777
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,840
Or do I need to put that effort

778
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,080
in and exercise every day and drink more water?

779
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,240
Much easier to take that headache tablet.

780
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,640
And AI in a lot of companies

781
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,640
is being switched on as headache tablets,

782
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,480
or as vitamins, or as something.

783
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Years ago, I used,

784
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,080
it's amazing how we think before AI,

785
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,720
because now AI is the next big thing, okay?

786
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:07,920
10 years ago, I was a team,

787
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,800
I was like, oh my word,

788
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,560
how are we going to get people to use teams?

789
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,920
Okay, another overusing it?

790
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,120
But years ago, I warned companies,

791
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:15,840
and I still do it.

792
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,440
I'm pretty sure I wrote a blog about it.

793
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,360
I've written way too many blogs, okay?

794
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,280
Well, no, I don't think so, but anyway.

795
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960
So years ago, I said,

796
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,720
companies go,

797
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:27,600
employees will arrive on a Monday morning,

798
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,480
and on their desk,

799
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,480
is a cute little recipe book,

800
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,640
an illiquidizer,

801
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,640
and they go,

802
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,160
because the CIO has played golf with someone on Saturday,

803
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,480
that said, if people drink green smoothies,

804
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,560
they're going to work harder,

805
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,080
and cost you less money, right?

806
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,720
So everyone gets issued with a liquidizer,

807
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,600
and a recipe book, they'll make a mistake,

808
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,760
even got a little cure code that you can scan

809
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,880
to go read recipes.

810
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,640
How am I going to make my green smoothie?

811
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,760
So wonderful.

812
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,520
So that person has peace of mind

813
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,680
that he has done what he has supposed to do in the company.

814
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,400
Everyone is now issued with a liquidizer,

815
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,080
they can make their own green smoothies.

816
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,680
So yes, some people are going to figure it out.

817
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Some people are curious.

818
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,880
Some people are going to put vodka in there, okay?

819
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,120
And make more green, ours.

820
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,840
Copilot is just a liquidizer, okay?

821
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,080
So it's going to just produce what it is that we throw in there,

822
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,040
or that it has access to.

823
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,440
But what companies don't realize is that it's the hard work

824
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,880
that delivers the results,

825
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,240
not the easy fixes.

826
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,400
It's not the heat-actablet that really is.

827
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,560
Heat-actablets only solve something right now,

828
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,160
but the underlying problem,

829
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,920
they're not drinking water,

830
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,600
they're not exercising the big problem.

831
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,720
So if I look at Copilot as well,

832
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,560
and that comes with responsible use,

833
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,120
so with that liquidizer or that smoothie maker

834
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,960
that we've now issued every employee,

835
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,520
if we don't have awareness campaigns in the company

836
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,880
with why it's important to have more vegetables and smoothies,

837
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:57,280
why?

838
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,720
How?

839
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,560
If we don't even focus on saying at Peter and finance

840
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,120
that works way too hard and is close to a hard attack,

841
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,240
hey, Peter,

842
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:08,080
I want you to be healthier because

843
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,960
I want you to grow old with your grandchildren.

844
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,280
You're so much more than your job.

845
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,160
Do you know that?

846
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,200
So much more than your job.

847
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,320
You're so much more than the hours

848
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,600
that we're squeezing out of you,

849
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,120
the blood that we're getting out of the store

850
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,160
and in this company, right?

851
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,480
And we talk to humans,

852
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,000
then when you put that liquidizer on the desk,

853
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,360
people understand that there's benefit for them to use it,

854
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,400
they understand the benefit,

855
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,640
but we're not explaining healthy habits

856
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,080
to people and companies.

857
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,240
We're just putting another plaster on it.

858
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,320
We, teams was a plaster that was put on

859
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,640
because we said people can't collaborate.

860
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,040
Or also to work remotely, of course.

861
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,240
That didn't help.

862
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,080
If the skills of ways to communicate

863
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,360
and how to communicate and wait

864
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,200
to store my content didn't exist,

865
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,760
teams might at one million times worse.

866
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,280
It's unbelievable how bad it is

867
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,200
and how many people tell me teams is terrible.

868
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,160
As it, no, it's not.

869
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,280
You're terrible.

870
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,680
But I'll blame IT and management

871
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,920
because they never taught well being in the company.

872
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,160
We've never taught y'all to responsibly use

873
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,600
technology or why it should be used.

874
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,640
Sorry.

875
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,400
It's going to be a plaster.

876
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,720
It's a headache tab that's not going to make anything better.

877
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:17,920
And I actually feel better today,

878
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,680
but it's not going to fix things, okay?

879
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,040
We, I don't think,

880
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,200
I think the need to train people

881
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,400
on digital literacy and digital fluency

882
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,440
is now even more required than it was before.

883
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,040
AI doesn't remove that.

884
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,640
Doesn't.

885
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,240
Yes, people can do more.

886
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,080
Yes, I can achieve a lot more now.

887
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,640
Yes, it takes me now two hours

888
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,560
instead of eight hours to build a functional spec or something, okay?

889
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,000
Because we all spend

890
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,880
like unbelievable time creating documents

891
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,240
for projects and things.

892
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:53,840
But if I don't understand why that document needs to be in place

893
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,000
and if I don't understand what a healthy project is

894
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,800
and I don't understand why it is that we have to put things

895
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,800
down like that, then just creating the contents

896
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,240
not going to make me a better worker.

897
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:05,600
So that's my opinion about that.

898
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,440
I love AI, okay?

899
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,160
I love AI and I hope I live long enough

900
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,480
to study and enjoy life before humans kills us with AI, okay?

901
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,920
Because it's not AI, it's going to kill us.

902
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,600
It's going to be humans, okay?

903
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,840
So if that's a crazy road that we're going to take,

904
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,000
I hope that there's enough time left for all of us.

905
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
But if we start realizing now that we can do

906
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,440
incredibly good with AI.

907
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Yeah, I think what's the topic is,

908
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,840
I'll talk about, I'll talk about change

909
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,320
and company laughs, talk about change.

910
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,440
But I don't know, they talk a lot about change

911
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,080
and bad things.

912
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,360
Well, I do talk about it, yes.

913
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,880
But that's all they do.

914
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,440
But they really don't do it from my feeling

915
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,640
all the time.

916
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:59,920
What makes for you a good change management, I say, process?

917
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:04,800
Yeah, change management.

918
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,640
So a lot of companies think it's just a compliance exercise.

919
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,400
They'll sometimes contact me and say,

920
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,200
can you see me that PDF with all the tick boxes

921
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,040
that we can just select tick readiness?

922
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,920
I think it's similar to being AI ready

923
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,760
or tick ready or something, okay?

924
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,720
And I think the first thing we need to realize is that

925
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:29,840
change management is a lifelong commitment.

926
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,400
Okay, so, and a lot of companies get that wrong.

927
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:38,080
We need people and companies that focus on it permanently.

928
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,240
Not me, that gets brought in for three months or six months or a year

929
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,800
because it normally doesn't sustain after it.

930
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,200
I can have huge impacts, but it doesn't last.

931
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,120
Change management, change management, looking off the people's

932
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,000
while making sure that we focus on skills

933
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,920
and healthy use of applications and things

934
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,400
should be a permanent part of a company's DNA.

935
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,480
It should be a strategic objective.

936
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,040
If you go and look at companies' values

937
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,560
in the emissions statements, that should be there.

938
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,960
Change management while being making sure

939
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,960
that we continue to invest in our employees,

940
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,720
but it's not. It's seen as projects.

941
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,280
It's, you know, it's a short term.

942
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,440
So that's the first thing that they need to change.

943
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,280
We need to have people that are passionate

944
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,320
to continuously focus on it.

945
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,800
It needs to be their job and they need to be paid for it.

946
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,040
Okay, that's very, very important.

947
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,040
It's the same as having an intranet manager

948
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,560
or having a responsible use of AI champion or something.

949
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,600
It's not a temporary thing.

950
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,680
It needs to be permanently focused on.

951
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,400
It's, I think, change management, if I had to

952
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,640
create an analogy for it, change management

953
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,640
like having a nurse on site.

954
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Having a little office there, where there's some

955
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,840
that when you're not feeling well,

956
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,880
but also someone that takes care of employees most of the time

957
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,160
and focuses on it.

958
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,320
It doesn't help that you're once in three years

959
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,560
reigning to a nurse that just comes and sits on site

960
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,720
for six weeks and then all your problems are fixed.

961
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:08,400
Doesn't work like that.

962
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,640
So we need a nurse on site and we're going to need it now more than ever.

963
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,480
AI is going to surface a lot of

964
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,360
unwell people at work.

965
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,280
It's going to surface a lot of negativity

966
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,840
and stress and fear in the workplace.

967
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,000
And now we need that nurse, that

968
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,680
that helper, that change management person, the adoption,

969
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,160
the training, the wellbeing.

970
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,600
We need that permanently in companies and I think companies

971
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,200
need to start taking that seriously.

972
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,080
It's not a project.

973
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,400
Getting someone in externally

974
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:47,280
to do change management is not hard work.

975
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,800
It normally doesn't stick.

976
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,040
You might put a couple of things in place, but

977
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,640
it's as good as I tell a company,

978
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,200
as part of change management is that,

979
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,560
you need to have a forum that says it's full for AI,

980
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,680
you know, it's right.

981
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,080
We need to have a forum once a month that gets together

982
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,840
and just talks about the major changes

983
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,600
and how does it impact my employees?

984
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,760
And we need to regularly communicate.

985
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,440
Once I leave that company, that doesn't exist anymore.

986
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:18,240
Very few companies actually put start systems in place permanently.

987
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:20,400
So for me, that's change management.

988
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,840
Change management is having a wellbeing specialist

989
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,760
in-grind in your company and making it part of your

990
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,720
mission and your vision and your values

991
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,640
and your strategic objectives is to have healthier employees

992
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,800
that uses technology responsibly, effectively and efficiently.

993
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,160
And it's a short statement,

994
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,560
but it carries a lot of weight.

995
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200
There's a lot that must go into it to be able to achieve that

996
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,400
and you have to continuously focus on it to achieve that.

997
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,720
I didn't answer that, Mocha.

998
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:51,280
I'm sorry.

999
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,400
I didn't really answer that.

1000
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,000
I think I just opened up more questions,

1001
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,440
but that's more being in about China.

1002
00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:00,480
I think what actually

1003
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,960
or happened in the last time it's...

1004
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,520
Okay, we need co-pilot.

1005
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,240
IT gets...

1006
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:10,720
get the job, the project,

1007
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,360
and they do their job.

1008
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,920
They buy, I don't know, license, roll out.

1009
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,440
And yeah, then they say, "Okay,

1010
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:27,200
users know you have to look at naming conventions,

1011
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,760
speed adaptor, permissions, life cycle management,

1012
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:30,800
and code it all as shit."

1013
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,800
And I think, yeah, they really lost...

1014
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,440
I don't know, there's some...

1015
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,160
Something missing.

1016
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:40,640
It's like...

1017
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,560
They all try to say, "Okay, my project,

1018
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,720
you are responsible, you are responsible for these and that,

1019
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,200
but it's not strategic, I think."

1020
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,320
How can we make it...

1021
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,840
Yeah, making...

1022
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,280
bringing more sense, and I think also...

1023
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,640
When it makes more sense, it makes more return of rest.

1024
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,640
But how can we make it...

1025
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,320
It's since making process...

1026
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,880
bring AI into a company?

1027
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,280
I'm again going to go back to that me,

1028
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:18,960
we ask situation.

1029
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,240
I think a digital strategy, specifically focusing on storage, okay,

1030
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:26,080
without going into all the other applications.

1031
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,200
So let's just talk about where I save my file, okay?

1032
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,480
That...

1033
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,360
That needs to be focused on.

1034
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,280
We can't always go back and fix the past.

1035
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,080
It's too difficult.

1036
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,040
There's too much content, but we can say that from a certain date,

1037
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,640
we want to start working different.

1038
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,360
So if we look at the modern workplace,

1039
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,920
and again, making sure that we have good data hygiene,

1040
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,560
approaches, and understanding, and awareness,

1041
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:55,040
if our employees truly understand,

1042
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,880
in a way that we live and work,

1043
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,720
when to use what?

1044
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:01,040
And I'm specifically talking about storage now,

1045
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,720
care files, because for me,

1046
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,120
the AI side, of course,

1047
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:09,120
the consumption of our data, we are data stored, right?

1048
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,000
So if I just think,

1049
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,640
and I just only focus on those areas,

1050
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,680
my one-drop content and my team's content,

1051
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,120
and then of course, there's intranets.

1052
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,280
But we need to go back to that,

1053
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,800
Marco, we absolutely have to focus on making sure

1054
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,480
that our people understand where to store what,

1055
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,680
so that AI can work more efficiently.

1056
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,640
But some way, we have to draw the line in the sand.

1057
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,880
As humans, we tend to think,

1058
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,840
we've spent so many years making this mistake,

1059
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,600
that it's too difficult to change now.

1060
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:45,120
Any single day that you stop making that mistake is a good day to change.

1061
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,360
But it's going to be a tough job.

1062
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,800
It's going to be difficult to do that.

1063
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,000
It's not easy,

1064
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,440
but the benefits we get from it,

1065
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,800
the results and the benefits of

1066
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,360
synum companies where people actually understand better,

1067
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,000
how their behavior, again,

1068
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,920
we're back to ontological design,

1069
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,120
where I store my document and how that impacts people.

1070
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,640
And now, like I said,

1071
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,400
GoPro is a flashlight,

1072
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,120
so we have to go back to

1073
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,280
healthy data storage and understanding.

1074
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,040
Years ago, I was like,

1075
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,960
"Oh, I think we've lost the plot."

1076
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,200
Microsoft, a lot of terminologies came out,

1077
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,480
and I'm blaming Microsoft.

1078
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,160
It's any technology, right?

1079
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,000
People were, you know,

1080
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,640
the whole structured versus unstructured data.

1081
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,640
Or it doesn't matter where your documents are anymore.

1082
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:29,680
You can just search for it.

1083
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,200
I'm like, "You're right."

1084
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,840
Let's talk about that in a couple of years.

1085
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,120
Now, it doesn't matter, Trace.

1086
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,960
Stop worrying about structured data.

1087
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,720
Stop worrying about having structured environments where content goes in.

1088
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:42,160
Because we can just ask.

1089
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,760
But now we're realizing that

1090
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,880
because we didn't focus on where we store it,

1091
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,720
we didn't understand permissions,

1092
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,480
we didn't understand access.

1093
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,800
Because if you just dump it everywhere,

1094
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,080
you don't understand the access.

1095
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,480
So again, I'm going to go back to an analogy.

1096
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:01,120
It's taken to the cupboard that you pack your clothes in, right?

1097
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,200
If we teach our children that you actually don't have to worry about that,

1098
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:06,560
must really, you know?

1099
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,240
Everything can go on to the floor in your bedroom.

1100
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,800
You don't have to put t-shirts in that place.

1101
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,720
You don't have to hand dresses there.

1102
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:16,400
You don't have to put this there.

1103
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,160
Of course, I'm going to just buy your robot.

1104
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,520
You don't even have to worry where it is.

1105
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,440
You'll just say, "Hey, robot, go fetch my favourite blue socks, right?"

1106
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,520
But now, because you never taught your child decent habits

1107
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,680
towards where they store their things,

1108
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,800
their favourite t-shirts ended up in their brother's cupboard, right?

1109
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,240
But they didn't care.

1110
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:38,080
The robot keeps on fetching it there.

1111
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,600
It doesn't matter where it's stored.

1112
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,520
But now their brother is using it when he works on his motorcycle

1113
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,280
and it's got oil on it, you know?

1114
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,360
That's the type of stuff that happens is

1115
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:52,000
is if we don't have that respect towards where our data goes,

1116
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,200
we can't expect to just find that we need to go back and install those skills.

1117
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,640
I know that's a difficult thing to do.

1118
00:52:58,640 --> 00:52:59,840
Good grief.

1119
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,840
It does keep me awake sometimes at night,

1120
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,880
but if we don't start,

1121
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,600
we have to start.

1122
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,840
That's just what I say we do.

1123
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,200
And it starts with me.

1124
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,640
That's the big thing is you don't have to change 10 million people.

1125
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,080
I just have to change me.

1126
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,640
I have to change my attitude towards the respect I have towards company data,

1127
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,120
where I store the stuff I work on,

1128
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,520
where we store the stuff that my team works on.

1129
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Just about those things.

1130
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,800
I know there's a lot of cross-contamination,

1131
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,240
but just focus on those things first.

1132
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:30,880
Because then if we can install respecting people

1133
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,040
with where they store their data,

1134
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,720
then adding a carpet on top of it.

1135
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,640
But we are way too late for it.

1136
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,320
Copilot's already been in the ploying companies.

1137
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,320
But we're going to go through that cycle again.

1138
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,840
It's going to be a two or three year cycle.

1139
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,600
We say, "Oh, we've got problems with teams."

1140
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,640
And we're going to have problems with Copilot.

1141
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,480
But after the fact,

1142
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,360
and that creates new jobs, by the way.

1143
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:04,960
When we say it's, we are a lot in the we space,

1144
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,200
but did the companies do give the people,

1145
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,000
I don't know, policies or rules or found things,

1146
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,600
outrails to help?

1147
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,240
No.

1148
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:14,880
No?

1149
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:15,760
Okay.

1150
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:16,240
That's the...

1151
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:21,600
That digital strategy again,

1152
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,000
that me, we ask things at such a simple thing

1153
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,720
to socialize and discuss with people

1154
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:29,760
so that they understand the impact and where they live and

1155
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:30,880
and how they, like,

1156
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,880
doesn't exist in companies.

1157
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,880
I very, very seldom see that.

1158
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,400
Yes, someone's created a 45 page word document

1159
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,560
that's been saved as a PDF that's called

1160
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,040
the digital strategy of X Company.

1161
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,080
No one reads that.

1162
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,840
No one's explained it simply,

1163
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,680
and no one's explained it to the users.

1164
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,520
I'm going to use a very simple example

1165
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,960
another really on time.

1166
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,400
We have for years say to people,

1167
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,840
don't save 20 folders deep

1168
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,520
and have document names that are 500 characters long, right?

1169
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:02,800
We've said it for years.

1170
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:03,280
Okay, all right.

1171
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,160
I mean, it's...

1172
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,520
Obviously, we've said it for years.

1173
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,360
We've sheltered at employees.

1174
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:08,560
Or I've lost my file.

1175
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:09,760
My file's gone corrupt.

1176
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,000
Why do I get this message that says

1177
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,920
cannot save this file as the folder path is too deep?

1178
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:16,880
Right?

1179
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:17,600
We all notice.

1180
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,040
As IT people, we notice.

1181
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,400
Do you know that every single personal company

1182
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,880
I start working with, we are trained end users

1183
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,800
and I say to them, why they shouldn't do that?

1184
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,080
And I explain to them that there's a character limit

1185
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,520
and that it becomes blind

1186
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,360
after a certain amount of character limits.

1187
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:34,880
It can't even see the file anymore

1188
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,800
and you pick up nonsense and I go,

1189
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,960
oh, that makes sense.

1190
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,000
And then I start having different naming conversions.

1191
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,520
We're not explaining to people

1192
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:46,640
what I shouldn't do things.

1193
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,720
We're just telling people what to do.

1194
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:50,720
We need to stop telling people what to do.

1195
00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:53,120
We need to explain to them why it's good for them.

1196
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,160
Because if you explain to someone why it's good for them,

1197
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,320
they'll start following on their own as well.

1198
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,320
If I understand the benefit that they have,

1199
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,440
we're not doing that.

1200
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:02,880
We're just instructing people.

1201
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,840
That's not how it's supposed to work.

1202
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,600
We're not allowing people to use their own judgment

1203
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,520
because they are well informed enough to make decisions.

1204
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,240
We're still in a mind rate of 30 years ago.

1205
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:17,680
We've made decisions for them.

1206
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,640
But now we're expecting them to use technology

1207
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,480
that's making decisions on their behalf.

1208
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,400
So we are in deep trouble.

1209
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,240
Okay, I can tell you that.

1210
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:28,000
But we can change it.

1211
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:28,880
Anything can change.

1212
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,880
We can make a decision to that and we can change it.

1213
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,880
Again, I want to say,

1214
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,400
"Rians, I love IR."

1215
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,000
I love IR, I love IR.

1216
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,840
But we need to fix a little bit of a couple of things in ourselves

1217
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,120
so that we can use it better.

1218
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,800
Yes, both in the Microsoft space.

1219
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,360
But I think a little bit what you say is something

1220
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,040
what Steve Jotter says,

1221
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,240
it sounds makes sense to high-assume our people

1222
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:54,400
and tell them what to do.

1223
00:56:54,400 --> 00:57:00,000
We high-assume our people so they can tell us what to do.

1224
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,680
I think that's...

1225
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,680
Absolutely.

1226
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,360
But if you don't invest in us,

1227
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,840
people, Mokadol, never learn the skills of how to be a better person or better that.

1228
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,000
We have not invested in our employees in years.

1229
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,320
It's not a new thing.

1230
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,440
And we keep on thinking,

1231
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,840
we'll apply technology to it to fix the problem.

1232
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:18,880
And we're very, very wrong.

1233
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,640
We can't fix it.

1234
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,320
We need to start investing in people.

1235
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,480
And I can promise you that will be the greatest investment

1236
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,000
any company can ever make.

1237
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,680
We need to invest in people so that they can be more digitally fluent.

1238
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:30,880
So that can be better leaders.

1239
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,040
So that can be responsible users of technology.

1240
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,120
And I promise you, with enough explanation and enough awareness and companies,

1241
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,600
they'll then use the technology better.

1242
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,440
We need to stop instructing people.

1243
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,600
And we need to stop putting just guardrails in.

1244
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,720
Because just putting guardrails in doesn't teach people to be responsible.

1245
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:53,120
Yeah, it's a little bit like cyber security.

1246
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,240
So we have a lot of inside risk.

1247
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,520
And the people...

1248
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,160
I think the most people don't want to do something that.

1249
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,880
So yeah, we said them,

1250
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,240
"Oh, we have this rule, this rule."

1251
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:07,360
And we don't say,

1252
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,840
"Hey, simple things, I don't know.

1253
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:15,760
Don't drive in the train and have your left with your passion brought in because."

1254
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,000
Yeah, I think that's really cool, cool concept.

1255
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,040
And yeah, I'm all the technology guy and say,

1256
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,160
"Okay, it's my...

1257
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,040
I have my responsibilities."

1258
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:35,040
But yeah, I think it's all about the humans.

1259
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,440
It's all about the humans.

1260
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,400
Yeah, a lot of technology.

1261
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,800
Oh, it's a lot of people.

1262
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:43,520
Before you.

1263
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,360
Yeah.

1264
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:50,160
Oh, I think we'll be a little bit run out of time.

1265
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,440
We are an upgrade a meeting that started as life works.

1266
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,240
So a meeting that's waiting for me.

1267
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,560
So we see I'm not really good at time management.

1268
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,200
It's okay.

1269
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:07,040
But I have an every session, a rapid fire round.

1270
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:14,720
So I give a short question and then you give a short answer.

1271
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,880
So tips or outlook?

1272
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,840
Teams or outlook?

1273
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:25,200
When you must decide one tool for, I don't know,

1274
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:26,400
to use it.

1275
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:31,120
I think I put a question back at you to say internal or external

1276
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,320
because it completely changes if you're a consultant.

1277
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,720
Internally and company outside teams,

1278
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,600
once you start working across companies it becomes quite difficult.

1279
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,360
Then our could becomes the place.

1280
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,640
And the training or experimentation?

1281
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,720
I think it's a combination.

1282
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,000
I want big one of them.

1283
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,520
I think training is experimentation and I think experimentation is training.

1284
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,840
And from the engineer or critical thinking?

1285
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:06,560
That's a difficult one.

1286
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,560
Again, I don't think I can pick one.

1287
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,120
I think everything in life is in moderation.

1288
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:11,920
That's a healthy mix.

1289
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:17,440
Yeah, you say you don't use your kitchen often,

1290
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,400
but what's the best sauce African food?

1291
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,600
Meat.

1292
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:24,960
OK.

1293
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,560
Phil, it's like we've got the best steak in the world.

1294
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:34,000
Yeah, I love, I know, it's spelled right.

1295
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,120
We call it chakalaka.

1296
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,000
Oh no, and I talk a lot of it very well.

1297
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,480
We're quite a bit.

1298
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:41,440
Good.

1299
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:48,240
I think it's the biggest misconception about co-pilot.

1300
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,640
I think that it's going to fix things.

1301
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,800
Muka, I think that's the biggest misconception.

1302
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:55,760
It's not going to fix things.

1303
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:56,960
It's not hard works.

1304
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,240
It's going to amplify things.

1305
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,120
It's an amplifier.

1306
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,200
Absolutely.

1307
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,080
Good.

1308
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:06,400
And when Satya Nidala called to Tracy and say,

1309
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,480
"Hey, you get all the menu and resources to build your favorite feature."

1310
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:11,680
"What feature build you developed?"

1311
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,640
"What feature are the world at bulk?"

1312
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:16,960
"File."

1313
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,320
And you get all the resources for Microsoft?

1314
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,080
"File."

1315
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:28,320
Something that can remind me every day that I have the ability to do what I need to do

1316
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:33,600
and that I have the best self-esteem to be able to do it right and to remind me which tools I can use to do that.

1317
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,240
And who shall I invite next and what questions shall I ask?

1318
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:46,000
You put me on a spot, especially with a meeting that started three minutes ago,

1319
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,440
and I have people scream at me.

1320
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,920
In the industry, I'd always refer to someone that I obviously know.

1321
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,560
I list the fusion who have a lot of respect from in the industry.

1322
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,160
Here's a lot to say about a lot of things.

1323
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:05,280
I think in general AI, he would be a very interesting person to talk about AI in general.

1324
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,880
And he's thought about AI in the future and what it will mean to the world.

1325
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,240
He's a very good mentor to me when it comes to AI as well.

1326
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,840
Yeah.

1327
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,680
So Nidala, say,

1328
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:22,560
Terese, thank you for joining me. I really enjoyed this discussion and the people don't cry too

1329
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:23,200
loud for you.

1330
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:29,600
I'll manage that now for a minute, so I have to go and manage that very carefully.

1331
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:36,880
So yeah, I think, yeah, what we learned, it's not all about the technology, it's more about

1332
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,240
the people.

1333
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,400
And yeah, so yeah, thank you for your time.

1334
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:49,040
And yeah, I hope you also enjoyed it and all the listeners find all the

1335
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,280

1336
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,360
