My top 10 learnings on AI for OD from the OD Hive masterminds

I’ve had some fabulous conversations in our OD Hive mastermind groups in March. Everyone comes with such different perspectives and backgrounds, so it is a very rich conversation. One person who recently registered for a free trial session told me they look forward to the talk. I explained these sessions are not presentations, they are not webinars or training. They are cameras on conversations. Everyone learns from each other and meets new people.

In one of our masterminds, we had an interesting discussion about whether we could lose some of our humanity by working with AI tools. Everyone has agreed though that it makes our white collar knowledge work more efficient, and more effective. Here are my top 10 takeaways for how to use AI in OD.

Lisa Carlin’s top 10 uses for ChatGPT and AI in OD:

1. Writing first draft of documents, articles, job descriptions, FAQs, Q&As, in the tone and for the context needed
2. Designing workshop outlines or training programs, integrating a quiz or assessments
3. Fielding enquiries (eg candidate enquiries for HR departments)
4. Researching topics and synthesizing the information
5. Reviewing documents, grading and providing feedback
6. Analyzing tone of employee or customer research (sentiment tools)
7. Providing coaching for personal develop from a bot
8. Training someone on technique through question and answer, like a natural conversation (particularly GPT4)
9. Summarizing information with a particular focus (eg to influence a particular audience)
10. Generating creative names and themes (eg for projects, products, groups, businesses) and images (eg DALL-E)

Here is the best video I have seen on how generative AI is improving with GPT4 (and how to write prompts in Bing). Watch the entertaining bit towards the end, having a conversation with a drunken bot. Thanks Gerard Neiditsch for the suggestion.
