Before an organization can succeed, it must have a team. This team is the foundation upon which success will be built. Teams are not just a collection of people. They are the combination of skills and personalities that come together for a common cause. Join this conversation with Patrick Touhey as we talk about why, as a leader, you need to have effective work teams which are collaborative, supportive, and positive in your organization.
Patrick Touhey is president at Elite Performance Too – E, LLC. He was a high school basketball head coach for both boys’ and girls’ teams and a college assistant coach. When his brother, Hall of Fame basketball coach Kevin Touhey, was dying from lung cancer, Patrick promised him he’d continue his passionate work of athletic coaching. With Elite Performance Too-E, Patrick mentors both coaches and players to tap into their hearts and passions, pursue the spirit of team sports, and become the best version of themselves.
Elite Performance Too-E emphasizes intrinsic elements rather than extrinsic metrics that sports often prioritize, such as work hours, scholarships, and individual statistics. By teaching the value of service, leadership, and team connection, Patrick and Elite Performance Too-E help athletes overcome the common selfish and self-absorbed mindset and use the athletic experience to develop as people and potential leaders. Patrick has played an integral part in coaching multiple teams to win state championships and reach their highest potential.

The best way to fix efficiency in your business. But before that, welcome to Work.2dot0. In this episode we talk about how talents and odds are meeting the future of work. We share the insights that we acquired from our working with organizations through our tools TAO. And we bring those insights right to you so we all could learn and have a conversation about the futures. So today we talk about something very, very interesting. Almost every business that we talk to, we interact with is facing this particular problem. So whether you are an analog business trying to go digital, whether you are creating a very big digital initiative within your company, whether you are embracing data and analytics practices to improve efficiency. Whether you are thinking about automation, whether you are thinking one telling about outsourcing. So one thing that is crippling all of us, if we are in that decision making process is.
What is the most efficient way to make our business efficient without spending or without breaking the banks? This thought is almost everyone we talked to, they have one or the other perspective on this. But almost every one consistently is panicking on whether. And we are seeing that many businesses are rushing to the decision. Because of the anxiety that really comes out of their immediate leadership to either cut down on the cost or deliver more value. Or maintain a healthy ratio of value and cost. So almost all of us are facing that particular problem. So now one of the most efficient ways that we think is an answer to this particular problem understands the maturity of an organization. So it is very, very critical for businesses to really understand where they stand, when it comes to their understanding of their maturity. So you come to an organization, you talk to them being an outsider.
When we talk to businesses, we have, because of our interaction with a lot of businesses today we have a very outside vantage point on how many of these businesses are thinking. So when we talk to a business, we come up with say, a bunch of strategies that businesses could execute on. But that really means nothing to the business. Because business works and grooms and they grow on their own culture. Now the biggest problem is how culture really connects with these strategies that anyone can execute to solve that problem. So number one that businesses need to do is understand the maturity. And what do you not get if you don't get to maturity. So may be overspending on certain bracket of your business because this particular technique works somewhere.

30 60 90 Day Play Plan to Career Success
30 60, 90 days to career success. But before that, welcome to Work2dot0. In this episode we talk about how talents and odds are meeting the future of work. We share the insights that we acquired from our working with job seekers and recruiters using TAO for hiring. And we bring those insights right to you. So we all could learn and have a conversation about the future.
So let's talk about an interesting problem. So we have heard from many working professionals in many ways, sometime even experienced professionals with lot of experience under their belt. And very, very common with new joinee working in a company on how to best measure the success of their role. How to perform in a way that you're appreciated within the company. And many times we realize that the workers who are actually facing this particular problem, they are in many ways exceptional workers. No problem in how they perform very high performance individuals. But somehow did the alignment seem off from what you work and what the company appreciates. And now, so what's the problem? And the typical, you can pinpoint the typical problem is that what you are performing on, what you're delivering is not in line with what the company expect from you. Or what your hiring manager is expecting from you.
Obviously besides if you take apart other political motivations behind whatever you are seeing. But even that, even if you include that, that's again a problem with alignment. That what you perform and what someone expects from you is not aligning well. So how to address that particular problem? And we if you have not heard about this theory, its 30, 60, 90 day rule. It has one, it has worked miraculously in helping professionals achieved that or fixed that so call alignment. So first let's talk about why we have misalignment. So we all are individual, we all are working. We all have created our own ways to deliver an outcome. Now, if we join a particular company, we are joining in a totally different culture. Its luck if they are in same culture of where I am, where I've been groomed and trained in, then life is good. But if in most of the cases, every business is different, every business has a different history behind it. And they have different culture. So now once you're joining a particular company, you have certain way to deliver an outcome. You have a certain way to measure an outcome. You have a certain way to understand the productivity that you are working on. But then when you do it with that, the company might be off in understanding how they measure your productivity, how they measure your outcome. And that really it's not your fault because you are performing the way you are supposed to, the way you have been performing and gaining success. It's just that you're not performing the way you are expected to perform. So how to fix that problem? In a typical enterprise world, we have this beautiful world word called maturity. And this relationship between you and the company is lacking the understanding of the maturity. And you cannot change the company to suit your narrative.

Transcript: Reskilling workers. Let's talk about that. Welcome to work2dot0. In this episode we talk about how talents and odds meeting the future of work. We share, the insights that we acquired from our working with organizations through our tools TAO. And we bring those insights right to you so we all could learn and have a conversation about the future. If you are an organization and you are seeing that transformation is happening, which is almost every organizations nowadays. Then one thing that is biting you hard if you're at leadership level is people getting obsolete in their skills and how to retrain them into the future organization that you are heading to. And challenges that you're facing today. You're not alone. A lot of businesses that we talk to are suffering from that. And almost everyone, although they understand this problem, their solution, and I think it to us even its gut wrenching to see how some of these businesses are really stuck. They understand the problem.
They understand they're doing enough to figure out that they need to do something. But the thing that they're doing is often limited help. And why it's not their fault? Because the thing that are available to you outside it is of limited importance. So what happening, what is happening? So you understand you need to grow, you have sort of skills that are getting obsolete. You understand the skills that you are hiring for. But you are relying right now on outside vendors to retrain your workers. So if you look at that, primarily what you're looking at is content providing companies. Coursera, Udemy and many programs at core services boot camps. And they can train your workers. They can provide content to your workers pretty effectively. But what's the problem?
The problem that we talked to businesses. And almost everyone that we talk to, they understand the idea of hey, these skills are amazing. The skill is where we are heading to. And skill A is where people are really obsolete and we are better off letting go. Some of the smarter companies that we interact with, they are figuring it out, hey, how can I take from people from A to B. And some of the not so smart companies with, well, a lot of financial pressure, are thinking in a very catastrophic way. How can I just get rid of B and hire more of A. Or get rid of A and hire more of B? But if you're a smart company, you understand that one of the critical elements in creating a workforce of the future is workforce that understands the nuance of your business. Understand the culture of your and that's really expensive to train someone.

In this episode, we talk about our talents and odds are shaping the future of work. We share the insights that we acquired from working with job seekers and recruiters using TAO for hiring. And we bring those insights are right to you. So we all could learn and have a conversation about the future.
So one of the really interesting thing that we are seeing nowadays is we hear about it a lot. How to better retrain yourself. And even you are curious many ways that a certain skills that are neighboring to yours, they're radically new incoming. And people are getting great salaries are on that skill. They're making good money and you're always curious how to go about that. And as if you are feeling the same, you're not alone. Because right now what's happening and what even we are seeing because of technology's changing. There are lots of new skills that are emerging. The new skills that are emerging that we are seeing nowadays. We are seeing now I'm more and more trends that are emerging, more technologies every day we come across. And that makes our head spin on the other side. We even see that this new technology demand great.
Kind of a different kind of skillset and that really requires you to think that, hey, maybe I should retrain yourself. So what's the problem? New skills out there you can take a course, take maybe Coursera, Udemy, all of these platforms. A lot of platforms out there today. Take a take a platform and just ingest the content and you are ready to go. What's wrong with that? Everything is great. But then there's another problem to that. So maybe if you have taken that course even you are facing that and to a certain degree, because most of the people that we talk to, they are facing this problem. So you have taken that course, but then it goes nowhere. You're still trying for your job, not getting a job. No one knows you and think about it.
Why is that happening? So you have taken a content, you have passed that course, that certification, that credential. But then you have no one to vouch that you know that skill. And that's where things get a bit tricky because although you put your 120% to learning that particular skill, but you don't have anyone any credibility when it comes to anyone who can vouch and who can actually see you in action. Oh you haven't seen you in action. And that is causing a lot of frustration because many times in our industry we talk, so big data is a big thing. Data analytics is a big thing. Ai is a big thing. And we meet lots of individuals who have taken one course here, a course or a Stanford course and they say, I've done this course and I'm finding no job what to do about.

So when is the best time to look for Job. But before we get into that, welcome. I welcome you all to job tips and in job tips we share some of the best insights that we have captured working with and in terms of job seekers and recruiters and thousands of recruiters and understanding some of the core strengths and some of the core strategies that some of the best jobseekers are using today and recruiters are using today to recruit top talent pool.
And we're bringing right that conversation to you so you could learn and take advantage of. And if you like what you see we do appreciate if you share and subscribe and let your community know so that many people could take advantage of these services and practices. So thank you once again.
So now let's talk about the best time to look for job. And I think we did a brief survey internally and we asked lot of professionals. What is the best time to look for a job and I think someone said hey you know what. Best time to look for a job is; I think the best answer we got was or at least the common answer was six to seven months before you actually start looking.
And that is so far from the truth, that is so far from-- it could be relevant to you or for you in many ways. But number one; our take on that and some of the experts that we talked to agreed to what we have to say here is the best time to look for a job is; the first day you join your job.
Before you panic let me just-- let's go deeper into what's going on. So typically when you're looking for a job. So six months into this you start to say okay I start looking would be six or three or four months or two months or maybe the day you are let go. Now you're just trying to look there's a desperation going on. There's an anxiety that's kicking in. You are not methodical and when and when you have this anxiety is building up in your brain when you're looking. You would you tend to be less rational about your approach on how you're doing your job search.
You are more attuned to compromises; you're more open to desperation which ultimately mess up your interview and your conversation as well. And you are less inclined to the right representation and more inclined to the very aspect of the result of getting a job.

And if you're a talent analytics professional you get it. It is-- your biggest challenge is not talent or analytics right.
So as we know Talent Analytics uses analytics to help understand talent. The biggest challenge talent analytics is facing today is the mindset or the culture of deploying Talent Analytics to empower workers.
So if you look in an organization, Talent Analytics is as good as that data that feeds into Talent Analytics. So that helps them analyze and data somehow has a better correlation with the maturity of your organization. If you're more mature, you are more methodical in doing things, you are more methodical in capturing insights, sharing, creating best practices, creating centers of excellence that you use to improve momentarily audit or occasionally but lack of it really hit you hard.

Transcript: Let's talk about building an HR culture that helps the company succeed. Before that, welcome you all to HR tips. In HR tips we gather some cool insights that we have captured by working with our amazing set of partners and futuristic companies and HR leaders and we are bringing all that insights right to you so we all could have a conversation around how some of the most fantastic HR groups and departments are getting built that are helping us in the future of work, that are helping businesses take the businesses forward. So welcome everyone and in this episode, we'll talk about a very interesting problem that if you are in HR you are very aware of but that is killing in our organization, that is really impacting the growth of an organization, that is impacting the culture of an organization. It is one of the most critical area and that is the very aspect of the definition of HR, right. It's a human resource, right. HR is supposed to be an advocate for individual, for a human, for workers, for professionals who are working in organizations but tell me how many times, if you're in HR, you feel that you are actually a BR, so-called business resource than an HR, human resource, right. Because you are advocated for business, many times HR wants to make sure that business is liability free.
Instead of making the employee feel welcome in an organization, the entire focus is to make sure that the businesses are not impacted by employees. Is that the right attitude? So interestingly, you must have seen it within HR this particular problem manifested in many forms. So an employee with a bad experience come to you with a complaint, with the toxic environment and what you do? Many times you try to protect the conversation, right. If you are a progressive organization, I don't have to tell you, right. You already know what you do. You have to help this employee, you have to get on as an advocate, as a resource for that particular worker, make sure they're welcome in the organization, make sure the organization culture is created to accommodate, to accept all workers, right. Because it's all the diversity in an organization that really help organizations thrive.
We all coming up with our own experience, adding to this wonderful mix. That's what matters but many times that is the least or that is not the way the HRs are designed and what is the end result? The end result is the big culture of concealing things, the big culture of not telling stuff, the big culture of not sharing some of those insights which could have saved companies a lot more going down the road because these things, eventually what will happen? A culture where the employees are not feeling protected and safe, it will create this culture of abuse, it creates this culture of concealment that eventually it just boils up and it's taken the entire organization with surprise and then the, now the branding cost will take a hit and it it is going to bite you at some point. So if you're in HR and you are in the organizations where HR really means a business resource more then a human resource, do something about it. How you can do that? You can do that by putting employees first. I know, I was talking about this interesting bank in the Midwest and one of their leader and their perspective was, when they deal with their employees the first response is yes, right. Every employee in the company, they are trained with this power to say yes, only if they want to say no, they need an escalation or they need authorization, right. So that itself gives the idea of inclusivity, right.

Let's talk about success network. Welcome to job tip, in job tip we share insights that we have captured by working with recruiters and job seekers using platform powdered AI, so we can have a direct conversation with our community and we could share, so you could improve your job search and career development. So thank you so much for joining us. If you think this content is useful we urge you to recommend to your friends and colleagues, bring them into the conversation so they can actively take part and thank you again so much for spending time with us. So the problem that we are trying to, that we will talk about in this episode is success network or lack of it in many ways. So what is success network? So if I ask you, who is helping you build your career, right, what would be your response? Your response would be, I’ll Google, I’ll YouTube, I’ll talk to bunch of my friends in office, right and if I say what is their role, exact role in your journey to help you succeed? That is where we find most of the conversation fall flat, right. That means we have network but we might not have the network that we need to succeed, that's the success network. So why do we need it, you ask, right? We all want to grow. The world is moving really fast all around us. We are finding it very difficult to catch up and in many ways Tao.ai existed to solve this particular problem because most of us work in our isolation, we don't have success network. Tao.ai want to give you that success network that you would need to succeed.
So having said that, it is extremely critical for us to have a success network and we do, some success, we all are doing something or the other, we have some guy or gal or mentor or someone we look up to and who we have access to and they are providing us with some information that we all have access to and we are using in our career development but it's not done systematically and that is what we want to bring and that is why what I want to have a conversation about in this particular episode, right. So we all work in our isolation, that's the problem, that needs to be fixed. So how to fix that? First, what is success network? Success network is a network of people, professionals whether they are your cousins, your friends, family, who are significantly impacting your career development in a good way, right. So success network means anyone who is, who has offered not even offered to help, who has actually shown a sign of helping.

Transcript: Let's talk about the silent killer to fortune 500 companies. But before that, I welcome you all who HR Tip episode. In HR Tip, we share insights that we have captured by working with HR leaders, future of work practitioners, authors. And we are sharing those insights and bringing it right to you, so we can create a more open dialogue and conversations around how the future of work is evolving and, and what an HR should do to ensure that their organizations are always relevant and at the center of this evolution. So, thank you so much for checking us out. If you find the content useful, I do appreciate if you subscribe and let your colleagues, colleagues know. And I do appreciate the comments so we can add it to the conversation and make it broader for all of us to converse and act on.
So today, it's a very interesting topic, right? So, something that is killing fortune 500 companies? What is that? A short answer is KPI. Before you run away, I want you to stop, listen to what I'm trying to say. So, I had this interesting conversation with one of the Chief People Officer of a mid-size, mid to large size service cap company and it was a very interesting conversation. So, it was centered around how they're struggling to get to the KPI. And, I was telling the gentleman about the story about a company called blackberry. And I met one of the product heads. And he said “Vishal we are meeting all of our KPI’s. We are hitting our numbers, right. Then why the company failed?” Right? And we all know the market changed the whole thing, right? We know about blackberry, we know about Circuit T, we know about blockbuster. All of them have the same story. They were trying to do the same thing. Their KPIs were hitting numbers. Some of the KPI's are failing, but most of them are hitting their numbers then why they failed? So, one of the very critical things that this insight brought up is, and which needs its own attention, or its own conversation was that maybe KPI needs to be revisited. So, if you look at, if you look at the history of, from where the KPI has emerged during the past when Frederick Winston Taylor or Henry Ford, we're redefining how we conduct business, redefining the modern management theories. There was a huge outcry on improving productivity. So there was a huge crowd cry on understanding the process, creating these process maps.
And then at some point, this idea of understanding the objectives and managing those objectives and then defining key designers to make sure that we are hitting those objectives was pulled into more tactical areas in which we just started focusing on activity rather than the objective that is generating that activity. And that has sparked an enormous confusion. So, what happened? And why are you seeing so much mention of KPIs, even in fortune 500 companies? It's no surprise. So, if you look at the evolution of a company; You are a start-up. in start-up, you're figuring your thing out, you're just trying to figure out the product market fit is going through. And then you grow into a midsize. So, product market fit is fine. Now you're trying to figure out the scale. Now you're trying to figure it out; how much you spend and how much you get back and that math still holds. And that math holds a large-cap company and at that point, you're don’t have to keep expanding that equation. You have to diversify.

Transcript: Let's talk about finding a job in a tough market. But before that, I welcome you all to this episode of Job Tips. In Job Tips, we share insights that we have captured, by interviewing and talking to real job seekers and recruiters that are using tao.ai platform for recruiting, for job search. So welcome you all and if you like it, we do recommend you bring your friends and your buddies onto this conversation. Add your thoughts in the comments below. It helps us improve. If you think that you want to add something, do add to that. We will keep adding insight that we have missed out that you share in our descriptions on those videos. So today's problem is very interesting. And we all have seen some version or the other of this problem of finding a job in a tough market. Whether it means there are not too many openings out there in my industry. Whether it means my industry is very selective. There's a downturn. I have been applying to 1700 companies and I'm barely getting any response or any of that. And more often than not, it's fairly common that we blame the system because that’s our tendency. That probably I'm doing right and maybe the system is flawed. The system needs to be revisited. But the problem with that theory is that the system is not going to get you a job. It's you who needs to understand the system so you can find yourself an opportunity that they're looking for. And in many ways, before you actually go out and start blaming the system, the governments, the visa requirements, the industry, see if you can fix something. See if something in your process needs to be tweaked so you can hit this market, you can hit the job, you can get more success for your effort. And remember many times, this is what we have seen from our conversations with job seekers and recruiters. Sometimes, you're just pushing a wall and if you’re not finding results, you're just pushing it harder. Maybe you need leverage to help you, um, maximize the impact by minimizing the effort or minimizing the effort and still getting maximum impact. So, what are some of the ways you could solve this problem? Network the hell out; your friends, your buddies, your cousins, your relatives, whoever is employed in your aspirational industry you’re trying to get into. Talk to them. Be very open. You have no clue what people could provide feedback on, on what you could be missing out. Many times, it's just a minor tweak that really makes you tremendously impactful. So typically I give this analogy to folks that in the sales industry, the difference between the worst sales Guy and the best sales guy is like its 1 or 2%, based on the efforts. So a minor tweak could take you from not getting it to getting your best opportunity.
It's now the search is “what that one person is and where to find that one person and for that, talk to people. Get as much human input as possible on your research from someone who has influenced or who is critical to talk about the industry. So, suppose I am looking for a job in software and I go and talk to someone maybe in manufacturing and they provide feedback, I’m not sure how much I can take that feedback in my industry, so talk to someone in the software industry about what's going on. Or if you're in manufacturing guys, talk to the manufacturing guy, an insider.

Welcome to episode two of HR tips. Today we'll talk about something very interesting. So last week I was talking to one of the gentlemen, one of the HR executives, at one of a decently mid-sized company, service company. And we stumble upon an interesting conversation, and I want to share with you all.
So it was about he was sharing with me some of the top challenges that he is facing in his role as an HR, as a chief people officer for an organization. And our sort of conversation went into ... we end up I think looking at pulling out one of the article that he was reading, it's about top biggest challenges that HR is facing in 2019, and how some of those challenges are directly reflecting to even his journey.
And interestingly, most of the challenges that HR is facing has almost a single solution, so I'll walk with you on that. So the article I think he was reading from one of the top eight, I think the top article, the top eight challenges facing an HR. So, some of the challenges actually that he was talking about in that list were engaging the workforce, the challenge; attracting talent to their enterprise; managing relationships; training and development strategies; talent retention; diversity in the workplace; embracing inevitable change; and employee health and well-being.
So in this list? So if you compartmentalize a bunch of these issues, so you can easily see that managing relationships, it is paramount in that wholeness, that almost fixes a lot of other things too, right? So if you somehow create meaningful relationships, successful relationship within an organization - you can have an engaged workforce, because you obviously you have ... And interestingly, when I talk to the gentlemen and they ask them, "Hey, what is your biggest worry when someone leave,"? Why would someone leave? I'm sure most of us know the answer? So either it's toxic ecosystem around us, either it's some situation that I don't negotiate early enough with my HR or with my organization before I plan to switch.
And I asked him, "Hey, when you move your house, what are some of the things that you worry about," right? And some of the top things he said, "Hey, my kids' school needs to be changed, my network needs to ... like I need to rebuild my friend network and all that, the social network that I have created around me that needs to be revisited." So I said, "Those are the same sort of indicators that a worker thinks about when they're moving on," right?

Brian's BIO: Brian Robertson is a seasoned entrepreneur and organization builder, and a recovering CEO - a job he now helps free others from with Holacracy. Generally regarded as the primary developer of the system, Brian’s work allows leaders to release the reins of personal power and persuasion into a trustworthy and explicit governance process. Brian also serves as the drafter and steward of the Holacracy Constitution, which captures the system's unique "rules of the game" in concrete form. Beyond joyfully crafting legal documents, Brian's creative expression takes many forms – he co-founded HolacracyOne to support Holacracy’s growth, and he fills and loves a broad variety of the company’s roles. He's particularly grateful to hold no fancy titles and wield no special powers, so he can show up as just another partner doing his part to support something he cares about.

Transcript: Welcome, everyone, to another episode of job tip in work2dot0 episode two. And in this conversation we will talk about some of the best practices on interview. And I think I have some of the things that I have captured from my experience interviewing candidates, some of my best hires, and some of things that really stood out when I interacted on even from our interview with some of the recruiters and hiring managers who have hired some of the ...
And the technique is not very difficult; it's almost similar to whether you are a fresher getting into the interview or whether you are going for a leadership role, right?
So a simplest mindset technique that I think have ... or at least I have seen working within many of my successful interviews that I have conducted, that it's not like I am interviewing the candidate, it's almost like the candidate is interviewing me, right?
So one of the typical example is when you go to an interview, the mindset is the interviewer would ask you some questions that you have to answer, right? So basically he'll be on an attack mode and you will be on a defending mode trying to prove that you are good or you are bad or whatever, whatnot, right?
But on the other side understand that interviewers are humans as well, right? So if it's a hiring manager they are suffering in their team, that suffering they want to fix with you in it, possibly, right? Or if you're in HR you know the hiring manager is suffering, right? His team is lacking some capability that you would bring to the table, right?

So we have thought of creating a direct conversational dialogue with you guys where we can share our learning and insights with you, and whatever learning we are capturing by talking to many of the experts in the industry, many of the HR's, many of the job seekers, many of learning and development professionals, so we will be bringing that knowledge directly to you.
So thank you so much for checking in.
For today's conversation we talked about one of the very critical point or topic when it come to job search, it's resume writing.
So we, even ourselves in Tao platform ask our at least Tao.ai public platform, ask job seekers to upload their resume and then we ... our AI picks it up and then shared with the recruiters and we make those arrangements happen. And we capture insights, we capture recruiters' feedback, and we sort of understand what's going on. And we'd take it from there.
So some of the critical insights that I would love to share with you all, so I don't know how many times we have seen a resume that never ends, it's a long, long, and long and long and long and laborious textual representation of what you are. But if you think what is a resume? It's a small ad, it's an advertisement that tells a recruiter like me who you are, what you represent, so I became more interested, so I can talk to you, I can bring you on the call.
So remember, you don't have to write your complete biography or memoir in this resume. You just need a snapshot, a very accurate representation of who you are in a very sturdy but also succinct way. So don't tell me where you were born. I am very less interested your date of birth, so certain things that just you can throw it out. And don't explain like 17-page of what you did in your last role.

Transcript: Understanding Talent- One of the Biggest Challenge for the Future of Workforce
Welcome, everyone to Tao.ai Presents Work Insight episode. In this particular episode we talk about one of the biggest challenge facing the working world, and almost every HR leader that we talk to is somehow impacted or concerned about this. And it is called retooling workers. What are some of the things that businesses could do to understand and retool their workers?
So in this particular episode we talked about or we will talk about some of the fundamentals of what needs to be done before we even start talking about retooling, right? So when we started talking, and to give a background, so I represent Tao.ai, and Tao.ai is an AI-led career platform that helps professionals understand their skills, and from there on where they need to get to. And then we did an extensive research and we still are talking to a lot of HR leaders and businesses around what they do and what's happening around their side of the world.
And I cannot stress enough how much we converse with leaders around how they are approaching this idea of retooling or retraining their workers.
So in a typical model you have your team, you see there's new emergence of technology that you end up using or you will be using, so you are setting your team to get trained in that particular skill set. But we could not emphasize enough how catastrophic this strategy is, because number one it underestimates internal workforce who are located somewhere else but who would be an expert in this field already. So you may be overspending by educating someone who may not like to be going there.
And on the other side you could be running alone in understanding that this is where you want to get to. So many times we are not equipped with enough resources to tell us where we want our team to go. So with that limited knowledge we do invest company resources in educating and retooling the workforce.
So what needs to be done? I am a data scientist by trade, so I understand the data pretty well and so does my company. So when we talk to a lot of HR leaders we ask them, "Hey, before you talk about upgrading your skills or credentials, tell me do you have a good enough understanding of your skills or credentials," right? And that pretty much stuns almost every conversation that we find ourselves into, because unless and until you have a clear, a thoughtful, methodical understanding of the skills that your workers that your company has contains, you won't be able to do a good enough job in reeducate or retraining that workforce.
So let me give you an example. One of the companies that we were helping with, they were looking for a bunch of machine vision engineers. And this company has tens of thousands of IT professionals. And we asked them, "Hey, why do you want us to find you those professionals," right? And then we ask them, "Hey, can just email your tens of thousands of professionals and see whoever is passionate about this topic of machine vision and AI?" And they have no template on that.
And so what does that mean? That would mean that eventually they will end up hiring two professionals from outside. So the company is now tens of thousands of professionals, plus two. And then if there's anyone inside that organization who's already well-attuned in this idea of machine vision and AI, he will not find a good enough project or new enough project to work with. So that itself means that inefficiency, right? It sparks this idea of if had this company would have a clear understanding of the skills that their workers possess and how much they love that skill and they are good at it, this company could help.

Recorded with Global Business with Mahesh Joshi and interview guest was Gaurav Rastogi
Synopsis: There is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, automation and what machines will do in the future. Soon, we will not be able to compete with machines in brains or brawn.
What about us? What will the humans do in the future?
Human workers will either become slaves to the technology (tech tells us what to read, eat, wear and do), or we can become masters (being able to use tech at our will, and not be used by it).
We may not have to fight the machines. We have to change with technology, and it will give us an opportunity to become more human by growing our spiritual genius. By connecting into our soul and with each other, we have the possibility of leading the highest human life.
Listen to the Corporate Yogi, Gaurav Rastogi, discuss The Future of Human Worker.

Synopsis: Many innovative businesses and IT organizations appreciate the competitive advantage analytics capabilities can provide and have ambitions to reach increasing levels of analytics maturity. However, the well-documented shortage of analytic talent leaves many firms without a strong analytic talent bench and little knowledge about how and where to find analytics professionals needed to get there.
In this presentation, Greta Roberts will discuss results of a major quantitative Study of the "raw talent" of professional analytics professionals. This Study crossed industries, experience and skills.
Practical insights shared will include: raw talent characteristics businesses are looking for in their analytics professionals, trends and correlations that lend unexpected insight into how organizations are building a strong and scalable analytic talent bench.
Attendees will be provided with the ability to compare themselves to the Analytics Professional benchmark for no fee.

AnalyticsWeek Unconference Workforce Analytics Track Day (Recorded on March 28th, 2014): AnalyticsWeek Unconference Track day was designed with a Keynote and a panel discussion. The idea was to give a strategic outlook during the keynote and bridge it with more tactical use cases that will emerge from the discussion with the panel. Each day was narrated by a track lead, whose job was to keep track of time and maximize the fun. Each panel moderator coordinated with the keynote speaker topic to keep the content bridge as intact as possible and at the same time maintain their ingenuity in crafting the panel as per their vision. All the panelists and keynote talents were carefully selected to suit the theme and they represent the industry leaders in their respective tracks.
AnalyticsWeek Unconference Workforce Analytics Track This track is by far the most underutilized field in big data. Every Company talks about resource crunch but few do anything about it. This track was one of the most sought after track in the week. This track was led by Sachin Bhate. The track's keynote and panel were chosen to provide substantial fodder to the importance of workforce analytics and how smart big companies are doing it. Keynote for the track was the CEO of one of the leading firms in the workforce analytics domain. The moderator was chosen from the top consulting firm as they are the biggest consumer of this science. The panelists included fortune 100 business's thought leaders and doers in workforce analytics.
Panel The workplace analytics panel was best-designed panel in the entire unconference. Each panelist was carefully chosen based on their story with workforce analytics and their use cases. The panel was moderated by Abby Cashman, Booz Allen. She did an amazing job in steering the panel to extract the thought leadership required to run a successful workforce analytics group. Panel was an all-star panel with executives from the largest bank, financial organization, high tech company, management consulting and insurance. All panelists were super cool in sharing their wins/failures and keeping the audience engaged with things they could act on. As per social media, this panel was the most socially active and engaged audience the unconference had seen.

The world of work has globalized and is in a state of transition. The labour-market opportunities are getting divided between high- and low-skill jobs. Migration and its effects on jobs have become a sensitive political issue in many advanced economies. From Buffalo to Beijing, public debate are raging about the future of work and whether there will be enough jobs to gainfully employ everyone. The development of automation, enabled by technologies, artificial intelligence, and Machine Intelligence is contributing towards productivity, and convenience. It is also having impact on jobs, skills, wages, and the nature of work. Workers are increasingly choosing to offer their services on digital platforms such as Upwork. They are challenging conventional ideas about how and where work is undertaken.
