C-Suite executives are used to managing organizations with the help of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Objective and Key Results (OKR's). But, during a crisis like we've never seen, these critical tools and indicators will need refreshing. In this article, I suggest new datasets that are needed to evaluate the organization's health.

Homeworking is nothing new. But for reasons we all recognize, the concept is now being extended to new groups of employees, managers, and leaders. For all of them, this brings a new raft of responsibilities, actions, and tools to learn. Specifically, it falls on our managers and leaders to create an environment to support these new workers. Let alone ways of encouraging best practices in this new world. This is important. A poor homeworking environment will lead to a lack of motivation and understanding beyond anything we see in normal day to day office workings. In this episode, I am providing 10 easy-to-follow tips to help you provide a great homeworking ecosystem.

As well as increasing the efficiency of organizations, AI is helping us in the fight against coronavirus.

As fears over the Covid-19 coronavirus continue to grow, scientists are turning to artificial intelligence to help them understand more and combat it at every level. There are three areas that AI is helping us combat Covid-19:

1. Revealing patterns of infections to inform citizens and public policy
2. Provide diagnosis quickly and effectively to quarantine and treat those infected
3. Develop treatments and vaccines and then evaluate their effectiveness

In this episode, Peter Yorio explains Conversational Intelligence (CI-Q) and how important this is for the new world of work. CI-Q is based on decades of neuroscience research and explains how conversations occur on three levels. Level one communications are transactional. Level two communications are positional, and level three communications are transformational.

AI is presenting amazing new opportunities for organizations. But it also adds new layers of complication to planning, managing and engaging workforces. In this episode, we suggest that employee engagement centers can be the answer.

In this episode, we take a look at this year's conference on capitalism.

It's easy to imagine that attendees to Davos 2020 may be losing a little sleep after the event. In addition to the eye-watering ticket prices, they were confronted with presenters scaring them to death with tales of climate disasters and humans losing jobs as they are being replaced with machines in the workplace as the Fourth Industrial Revolution powers on.

Competency models are frameworks that act as guides for governments, schools, colleges, universities, employers, students, employees, and job seekers. In this podcast, Eric Shepherd explains how these models define the behaviors and capabilities required to perform a task.

Predicting the future is a popular pastime, especially at the start of the year. But how do we know which predictions might come true? And how can get better at it? Eric Shepherd looks into his crystal ball.

"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future!" said Niels Bohr, the Nobel laureate in Physics and father of the atomic model, and social scientists seemed to agree. As if to prove Bohr's point, the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking admitted in later years that some of his early predictions about the universe were not entirely correct.
