The author’s use of humour made the book an enjoyable and engaging read, it will be a resource I refer to again. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in digital transformation or software projects
“As the author states, ‘nothing changes unless you make changes’. In this era of AI-everything, change is imperative, but the only way to successfully do so is to understand (and use) the technologies and mindsets defining the future or work. This book is your guide. It accomplishes being a roadmap of the future, and a reference guide to the tools that will get you there. It does so while also painting a human-centric vision of work that is thoughtfully designed for the worker of the future. Read it. Use it. Succeed thanks to it.”
"What happens when AI increasingly displaces demand for human labor while continuing to grow productivity to new heights? In this practical guide and insightful roadmap to navigating an AI-powered future, Jayne Mather highlights crucial technological dividends like Universal Basic Income and shorter workweeks among other smart changes. Discover how UBI can secure everyone's well-being while we redesign work to prioritize human fulfillment in a world of abundant technology."
An excellent guide for any high complexity or high impact digital transformation or software project. Grounded in both practice and research, the book helpfully signposts to change management models, frameworks, and methodologies
The author handles her subject matter from a very person-centred approach, and it is written in a very relatable, informal and accessible style. The fact that you need to 'enthuse' your users as well as educate and empower them is something which is often overlooked, yet actually key to the success of a software project. However, it is a central theme in this book, and it offers great insight on how to achieve this.
"In 'Humans and AI: The Future of Work" the author Jayne Mather takes the reader on a carefully crafted journey exploring what may lie ahead and how best to prepare for the coming changes. My favorite part was learning about the 'Hyperautomation Organization." For those looking for fresh perspectives, I recommend this book for both its sweeping vision of the future and its actionable recommendations."
A brilliant book that really frames the processes in an intelligent way that makes you think ‘why didn’t I think of that’. Every business should have a copy of this book.
