It's International HR Day! This year's theme is "Empower People to Lead Change." HR practitioners know that job deeply.

Caring brought most of us to this profession. Organizational intelligence is what makes us very effective in the right room. The HR practitioners who combine both are not there just to support IT, Finance and Operations. They are peers at that table with a perspective no other function holds.

We are navigating one of the most significant technological shifts organizations have ever faced. Technology does not always fail because the code breaks. It often fails because the human side of change goes unmanaged. That is HR's domain. Always has been. We need to Empower People to Lead Change for technology to actually land inside organizations the way it was designed to.

Happy International HR Day to everyone who takes this profession seriously.

That definitely puts things into perspective!

I saw this visualisation last week and it genuinely changed how I think about where we are with AI...

Each dot represents 3.2 million people.

2,500 dots for 8.1 billion humans.

The colour shows the most advanced AI interaction that person has ever had.

Look at all that grey. That's 6.8 billion people who have never used AI. Ever. In any form.

The green strip at the bottom? 1.3 billion free chatbot users.

The tiny yellow sliver? The 15-25 million who actually pay for it.

And that single red dot you can barely see? That's the 2-5 million people using AI for coding and development.

I spend too much time on Twitter convincing myself the whole world has lapped me with their AI knowledge....a new model drops every day. Someone automated their entire company overnight. A 19 year old shipped a startup from their bedroom...

Then I show some simple AI tool to a mate from my small hometown and they react like I've just shown them fire for the first time.

They had no idea any of this existed.

And that's most people.

Most people on earth have absolutely no idea what AI can do right now. They haven't tried it. They haven't seen it. They don't know that you can talk to a computer and have it reason, write, build, and think alongside you.

The average person's understanding of AI is still "that thing that makes weird pictures" or "the robot that writes essays for students."

They have no concept of agents, automations, coding assistants, or anything close to what's actually happening.

82% of American businesses still aren't using AI for anything.

Only 4% have mature AI capabilities.

78% of executives say it's moving too fast for their teams to keep up.

So when people ask me "how do I get into AI" or "how do I catch up" - the answer is almost laughably simple.

Pay for one AI tool. Use it every day for a month.

Read one book about it.

Watch one long explainer video.

That's enough to put you in the top 1% of AI knowledge on planet earth.

You don't need a computer science degree. You don't need to understand transformer architecture. You just need to lean in and get your teams to lean in!

We are so so so early!

Wrapping up 2025 with the Navigating Change: Ethical Responsibilities in the Digital Age course via CPHR - CRHA

The course covers the basics of artificial intelligence and digital transformation in organizations. Although it was nothing new for me, I was glad to see my fellow CPHR colleagues across Canada getting up to speed on this topic.

Since Bizolver’s inception it has been dedicated to helping business and educational institutions be aware of and prepare for the digital transformation. It was obvious to me from my work at Xerox and Connetik Interactive that digital was an unavoidable revolution. It got a bit of a slow start but has picked up speed and growing ever faster.

Going into 2026 organizations would be wise to get their house in order in at least the following ways:

• Get your standard operating procedures updated and cleaned up.

• Tweak and update your policy manuals to be ready and resilient for change, especially regarding privacy, security and all things related to digital (which will pretty much eventually be most things).

• Hire and develop your people to be adaptive and motivated for change. They need to be willing to be trained on how to implement and use technologies as they are introduced to the organization.

There’s a lot more to consider but those are some of the takeaways from the course.
