When what used to take months can be done in an afternoon, the questions change. What is the work worth? Which skills do we need? And how do we decide what to spend time and money on?
In “The Hard Part Has Moved” I look at what happens when technology stops being the obvious constraint.
One example starts with the same brief going out to several suppliers — and quotes that differ by a million kronor. How do you judge the difference? What do you need to understand in order to ask the right questions? That is where a conversation about price, value and knowing what to order begins.
I also show the difference between handing every employee an AI assistant and rethinking how the work fits together. When knowledge and tasks can move between people and systems, both the division of labour and the accountability need another look.
But the change is personal too. What happens to professional pride when the thing you have been best at for twenty years can suddenly be done by someone else? How do you lead people through a change that opens possibilities and creates uncertainty at the same time?
We also get into why organisations can say yes to change and still carry on exactly as before. What makes it hard to try something new when everyday life rewards the familiar?
Drawing on my own work and what we are building at Mindact, I weave together technology, business and human reactions. You get concrete examples, humour and questions to take back with you. And there is room for your own questions and objections.
