Why Does HR Exist? AI Redefines Everything, And Here's Why.
As we prepare to launch the HR 2030 Initiative next week, I pose an important question. What IS the real role of Human Resources in a world of AI, automation, and business acceleration?
As you’ll hear, we believe HR is no longer the policy police, recruiting, training, or pay department. In a world of Agents, a new role has emerged: Dynamic Enablement f
Addressing High Cost of AI, Frontier Fine Tuning, Edge Computing, Microsoft and NVIDIA
This week was pretty exciting: Microsoft unveiled its Frontier Fine Tuning along with a new hardware stack and developer tools, while NVIDIA launched its foray into PC powered AI. Two big themes here: first is reducing computing cost as data centers start driving up all our AI cost, and second to make AI ever more personal for you and your company.

Understanding The New Words of AI: Harness, Layer, Fabric, Surface, And More...
I’ve decided that the biggest challenge we have in AI is now keeping track of the new words being created. Words like harness, layer, mesh, vector, orchestrator, tools, surface, memory – they all mean very special things. And engineers and marketing people keep dreaming up new ones (spine? pattern? control plane? MCP? LangChain? headless? MCP? mesh? ont

The Pope's Encyclical on Safeguarding Humans In The Face of AI
The Pope’s Encyclical on AI is well worth reading. It’s not only about the perils and risks of technology, it’s really a manifesto about power. I found the essay extremely valuable to read so I wanted to share my perspectives on the topic and the fascinating analogy between AI and The Tower of Babel.
I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Surprise, Your AI Doesn't Train Itself. Building and Maintaining AI Agents.
Many of our clients are playing with Claude, building things, and telling us about their amazing new innovations. But there’s a strange misconception out there – the idea that you can just “buy an Agent” and turn it on immediately.
AI doesn’t quite work this way. These systems “become you” – which means you have to train, maintain, tune, and continuousl
New Research On Frontline and Cornerstone Goes Big Into AI
This week I’m in New York “Live!” and there are some exciting things happening: we launched our newest research on “The Five Types of Frontline Worker” which will help you dramatically improve that part of your business, and Cornerstone, the largest L&D tech provider, went BIG into AI.

How Do Some Employers Hire Frontline Workers 5X Faster With Higher Quality?
Frontline workforce hiring is important: these are the workers who deliver services, care for patients, and deliver the food or products that we rely on every day. Yet as we look at benchmarks for hiring and retention we see massive variations across companies. In fact the highest-performing companies hire 5-times quicker than others, and also find high
Build vs. Buy. It's So Easy To Build HR Software Now! Or Is It?
I just attended the Eightfold user conference where they introduced TalentForge, a toolset to build agents, and the CEO Ashutosh Garg told us their HR team could build their own HRMS.
Gloat is offering much of the same toolset, with integrations into Microsoft Teams, Copilot, Gemini and Claude – and you can import all your business rules from SuccessFac
The Economics of Enterprise AI: For Buyers and Vendors
We’re now at a stage where enterprise-class AI solutions are real, and suppliers are jockeying for position. Microsoft has consolidated its Copilot efforts into a more integrated offering, and also raised prices.

The AI vs. Labor Economy, Why Benefits Are Being Cut, The Role of Legacy Systems
This week we saw some astounding GDP numbers, a modest 2% growth with an astounding 70% attributed to AI capital spending. The US economy is heavily AI centric, starving spending on housing which ultimately contributes to income inequality. At the same time companies are now reducing employee benefits, halting a two decade steady increase. It’s all abou

Tim Best, CEO of RecruitMilitary and former active duty Army officer, gives
The Reinvention of Workday: From System of Record to Platform of Agents
This week I discuss Workday’s new AI announcements described at the Innovation Summit last week. These are sweeping new product, leadership, and organizational changes that effectively reposition from a “system of record” to a “platform of agents.”
As you’ll hear, not only is Workday clearly articulating their strategy to support and enable Agentic HR a
Workday's New Strategy, Enterprise AI Maturity, Meta Layoffs, and Surveillance
This week I recap a busy week including corporate AI stories, Workday’s AI reinvention, more on tech Layoffs, and fears of AI-driven surveillance.

Important Issues Of Leadership, Trust and Culture Behind Big AI Companies
This week, as Ronan Farrow’s expose on Sam Altman was published, I want to sensitize you to the fact that AI companies are run by humans. And this means that what we buy and how it works is very dependent on leadership, culture, values, ethics, and the personal motivations of these young, ambitious executives.
Obviously this is nothing new, but in this
Why Microsoft Could Outpace Anthropic and OpenAI In Enterprise AI
The Microsoft Copilot is even more expansive than you think. In this podcast (and detailed article on Substack) you see how Microsoft’s new Copilot “surface” (ie. product strategy) is likely to give them the lead in revenue and market share for Enterprise AI.
There are many players to consider here: Anthropic, OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, and vendors like Se
The Context Layer (Semantic Layer) In Enterprise AI (And Where Business Rules Go)
One of the new enterprise AI challenges we face is this: where do we put all the business rules, security rules, policies, and company specific practices we’ve built into our legacy systems for the last 30 years? If we want to embark on Agentic HR (or any other domain), do we rebuild all these rules in the Agents?
Well the big idea going forward is the
The Frontline Conversation: Very Different Types of Frontline Workers
In this podcast I talk with Josh Secrest, VP of Marketing at Paradox (Workday) about how we segment the “frontline” into useful worker categories. As you will hear, the complex issues of hiring, training, managing, leading, and building operational excellence vary widely from role to role.

HR 2030 - The Vision for Agentic Human Resources
As AI expands its role all over our companies, a big question comes up: What will AI Agents do to HR and all our human capital practices?

Why Being "Laid Off" By An AI Agent Could Be A Good Thing
Today, as we read more stories about various layoffs (often using AI as an explanation), I’d like to suggest a big idea. AI Agents, defined as “Talent Redeployment Agents,” may be one of the most powerful new use-cases for AI in HR.

Enterprise AI Confusion: Client Discussions Explain AI Vendors, Job Redesign, and Transformation
After many weeks of work with corporate HR leaders, technology companies, and implementation teams I’m realizing the word that describes AI is “confusion.” Too much going on, too many unanswered questions, and no clarity about what to do.

AI Agents: Not Always Right But Seldom In Doubt
This week I discuss the latest BBC study on AI answer quality from public data sources. As I discuss, the BBC and EBU found that 45% of news queries produce erroneous answers, so the reality has set in: public domain AI engines are neither “superintelligent” nor are they perfect.
Yet they are very self-confident. So we, as users, need to be careful.
