Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

349: Keeping the Human Side of AI Adoption with Regent Cornell
Q: How can organizations maintain accountability when AI is heavily involved in decision making?
Establish governance (like Fierce Governance) to monitor AI outputs, set clear decision rights, and have ongoing check-ins to course-correct as needed.
349: Keeping the Human Side of AI Adoption with Regent Cornell
Q: What should never be outsourced to AI in the workplace?
Deep facilitation and human-centered conversations that require empathy, heart, and authentic human judgment should remain human-led, with AI supporting rather than replacing human connection.
349: Keeping the Human Side of AI Adoption with Regent Cornell
Q: Why is this moment different from previous waves of workplace change?
Because AI is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, there are few rules, and many organizations lack clear information on how to implement it responsibly, leading to fear and uncertainty.
350: High Tech, Human Touch: Why Relationships Still Win in the Age of AI with Raina Fryer & Jeff Boucher
Q: What makes HR strategic in today's organizations and how can AI support that shift?
HR gains strategic influence by being involved early in decision-making, using AI to forecast talent needs, analyze risk, and craft proactive plans, while actively advising on people implications to drive better outcomes.
350: High Tech, Human Touch: Why Relationships Still Win in the Age of AI with Raina Fryer & Jeff Boucher
Q: How should leaders balance automation with genuine human connection in daily operations?
Leaders should free space with technology for higher-impact, people-centered activities, then actively nurture relationships through intentional conversations and presence, ensuring that AI augments rather than replaces human interaction.
