In the second of a two-part series, HRM Asia delves into why the transformative power of AI in HR is essential for navigating today’s business landscape.
Learning culture fuelling workforce agility in today’s complex landscape
Craig Smith, Product Lead Business Agility for SoftEd, part of Skills Development Group
“Learning is the engine that fuels today’s organisations forward in a complex landscape, with HR and L&D being the key drivers in cultivating a workforce that’s both agile and adaptable through a learning culture of continuous improvement and skill development. We must enable our workforce to learn and innovate rapidly to keep pace with evolving needs.”
“At SoftEd, we assist and empower organisations of all shapes and sizes with customised transformation. We offer capability assessments and frameworks – including predictive diagnostics. We follow with personalised learning journeys and coaching to power upskilling that is targeted and industry-aligned. An approach that combines our industry experts and leverages technology provides a real impact and outcomes for the organisations we support in capability uplift.”
The Culture & Methods Trends in 2024 cover the value of staff plus engineers, DevEx metrics, ways to make remote teams effective, challenges with diversity and software development impact on climate.
Whilst remote working presents challenges to innovation and collaboration, there are effective techniques to address them
Staff-Plus engineers bring value through far more than their technical skills
Developer Experience can be measured and there are metrics that can be used to find small improvements that make a huge difference
It is possible and practical to include climate impact as a quality attribute of a software product
The use of AI tools, such as large language models, can enhance the work of good programmers but do not replace the need for human expertise and creativity
This report summarizes how the InfoQ Culture and Methods editorial team sees the ongoing and emergent trends in the culture and methods space. We discuss evolving roles within teams, particularly the way staff plus roles can add value, the use, and misuse of DevEx metrics, how remote and asynchronous work continues to evolve, the fact that a lack of diversity is still a challenge in information technology, the slow pace of adoption of modern leadership approaches in many organizations and the need to move from climate change awareness to climate-conscious software engineering. Of course, we could not explore trends today without looking at the impact of AI and LLMs, but we looked at them from a risk and benefit perspective for the people involved in software engineering.
In this podcast the Culture and Methods editorial team along with special guest Jutta Eckstein talk about the current state and trends we see in the technology industry in 2024.
