AI Readiness Seeing the System, Beyond the Hype Part 1
After our recent Members-Only Mastermind session with Chris McKay and Jessica—who are also keynote speakers for the Big CHRO Event—I asked ChatGPT a simple question:
“What part of this talk was truly unique… the kind of insight our members couldn’t just find on the internet?”
The response was ๐ฅ. Here's what it said:
๐ 1. Agentic AI as a Workforce Redesign Imperative
Chris didn’t just explain agentic AI—he reframed it as a new type of workforce HR must learn to hire, onboard, manage, and offboard.
“Most AI talks treat AI as a tool. This session treated AI as a new kind of talent CHROs will be responsible for—alongside humans.”
๐ง 2. The Cost of Intelligence Is Going to Zero
Chris dropped a bold statement: intelligence is no longer your differentiator—clarity is.
“Everyone will have access to top-tier AI. What sets your org apart? Your data, your context, and your people.”
๐ 3. An AI Maturity Model Built for HR
Chris and Jessica introduced a 5-level AI maturity benchmark and the USAGE framework, designed to help people leaders—not IT—guide adoption.
“This isn’t something you’ll find in a vendor whitepaper. It’s been field-tested with CHROs and co-created with Microsoft and LinkedIn.”
๐งฉ 4. Governance + Tool Strategy You Won’t Find on YouTube
They covered:
-
Why NotebookLM is safer for private data
-
What “prompt injection” means for AI compliance
-
How to use different models for different strengths
-
And which tools (like Gemini and AgentSpace) are about to change the game—but aren’t public knowledge yet
“This wasn’t a demo. It was a strategy briefing from the frontier.”
