We recently had the absolute privilege of designing and running a Learning Festival for Singapore Land Group Limited, and wow, what an experience it was!

Picture this: ~150 participants, a full day of energy, and teams rolling up their sleeves for our flagship activity, building an AI-generated video with a sustainability theme completely from scratch!

Here's what makes this so exciting.

Most participants started the day with only a rudimentary grasp of GenAI.

By the end?

They were storyboarding, prompting, refining, and producing creative videos as teams.

We watched hesitation turn into confidence in real time.

People who weren't sure what a "prompt" was in the early afternoon were directing full scenes by the late afternoon.

The winning entry (see below) is proof of just how far learners can leap in a single day when given the right guidance and a little courage to experiment.

The best part?

It doubled as a brilliant team-building exercise, full of laughter, friendly rivalry, creative problem-solving, and genuine "aha!" moments.

Nothing bonds a team quite like figuring out new technology together and cheering each other on at the finish line.

Days like this remind us exactly why we love what we do! 🙌

Her concern here is legitimate.

The World Economic Forum's 2025 Future of Jobs Report projects that 92 million roles will be displaced by AI by 2030.

The IMF found that 40% of jobs globally already face meaningful AI exposure, rising to 60% in advanced economies.

Anthropic's own CEO has predicted AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.

If mass displacement destroys purchasing power at that scale, consumer markets collapse with it.

You genuinely cannot run a profitable business in an economy you helped destroy.

BUT the data also tells a strikingly different story.

In 2024, AI created approximately 119,900 direct jobs in the US alone, while confirmed AI-driven job losses totalled just 12,700, representing only 0.1% of all layoffs that year.

PwC's 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer found that workers with AI skills command a 56% wage premium, productivity growth nearly quadrupled in AI-exposed industries since 2022, and job availability actually grew 38% even in the roles considered most automatable.

The WEF projects that while 92 million roles disappear, 170 million new ones emerge, a net gain of 78 million jobs globally.

Penn Wharton's Budget Model estimates AI will boost GDP by 1.5% by 2035 and nearly 3% by 2055.

So maybe AI-first CEOs are accelerating us toward unprecedented productivity and prosperity.

Or maybe the speed of this disruption will outpace humanity's ability to adapt and retrain, and the short-term damage will be catastrophic and irreversible for millions of workers.

Both arguments have serious economists, business leaders and historians standing firmly behind them.

This is one of the most consequential debates of our generation and the data alone will not settle it.

Perhaps what matters equally is policy, leadership and the choices businesses make right now.

But what do you think?

Are AI-first CEOs visionaries building the future, or are they sawing off the branch they are sitting on?

We all remember the sheer, breathless adaptability of the early COVID era, captured perfectly by this viral email exchange.

Now, substitute "coronavirus" for "automation fear" and "WFH pivot" for "AI implementation."

We are witnessing a remarkably similar frantic scramble today.

The current AI proliferation operates far from a smooth transition and more like that chaotic 2020 rush to get everyone on Zoom in under 72 hours.

Just as HR used a logistical loophole to keep the wheels turning here, companies are using AI logic to restructure roles and reset productivity benchmarks at light speed.

It’s funny until you realise the speed of adjustment hasn’t changed.

Are we adapting effectively, or are we just emptying the floor of humans to keep the automated systems working?

If a business can replicate your voice, workflow, judgment and digital identity after you leave, then employment is no longer ending. It is being extended by code.

That should concern every leader.

The article below is worth reading because it signals where this debate is heading.

Our prediction: over the next 24 months, digital employee rights will become a boardroom issue.

Companies will need explicit AI likeness clauses, post-employment usage limits, audit trails, compensation models and reputational safeguards.

The firms that move first will build trust. The rest will invite lawsuits, backlash and talent flight.

Our suggestion is simple: treat employee data like licensed intellectual property, not raw material.

Just because AI can preserve output does not mean it should preserve personhood.

The future of work is not human vs AI. It is human dignity with AI.

Three rules should be non-negotiable: informed consent, revocable rights and clear revenue-sharing when a company profits from a person’s digital double.

Leaders who fail to draw that line now will spend years repairing the brand damage later.

Avatar replacement worker on trial with consent of person it replaces; critics of firm say move is a ‘step towards the destruction of humanity’.

At Right Impact, we don't do "motivational speaking".

We do energy.

We do chaos turned into message clarity.

We recently had the incredible honour of partnering with NTUC First Campus (NFC) for a massive teambuilding session that redefined "scale."

Through a high-octane, team-based experiential learning activity, these educators and professionals didn't just hear about their theme, "Rooted In Purpose".

They lived it.

At least for those couple of hours, as they immersed themselves in an intense activity that revolved around big group collaboration, workflow optimisation and organised communication.

These impressive participants solved, synergised, and synchronised to internalise what it truly means to be anchored in a common mission.

A massive thank you to NFC for trusting us with your most valuable asset: your people, yet again.

Seeing 700 hearts beating to the same rhythm of purpose is exactly why we do what we do.

When a team is truly rooted, they don't just grow but thrive.

So what does being "Rooted In Purpose" look like for your team today?

The recent release of Anthropic's findings on AI's impact on the labour market is all the rage right now.

BUT...

People are missing the point.

They see the lack of mass layoffs and celebrate a false sense of security.

But they are entirely missing the article’s true warning: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙢𝙗 𝙤𝙛 "𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚."

Anthropic’s 2026 research introduces this critical metric to measure the stark gap between what AI can theoretically do and what it is actually doing in the workplace today.

Right now, observed exposure is low. Sure.

Legal tape, compliance hurdles, and missing software integrations are holding AI back.

We mistakenly think AI is merely an augmentation tool because current friction is high.

𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙄 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧?

The unobserved applications are frankly and potentially terrifying.

Once AI seamlessly executes entire operational strategies autonomously, it will effectively erase mid-level cognitive roles overnight.

We are already seeing the warning signs.

With junior hiring dropping 14%, the traditional pipeline for developing talent is breaking.

The immediate crisis is a total collapse of how we build expertise.

As a perspective in my line of work, if AI handles the foundational work, our entire approach to corporate training and learning development must be radically overhauled before we face an insurmountable skills deficit.

Are we ready for the "unobserved" tsunami?

It is a massive responsibility that goes largely unseen.

We had the privilege of facilitating an Emergenetics workshop for the unsung heroes at the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), specifically the dedicated team within the Food Standards and Veterinary Office.

These are the brilliant minds ensuring that every bite we take is safe, regulated, and of the highest global quality.

Their work is critical.

It directly impacts public health, our trade reputation, and our daily confidence in our meals.

But high-stakes technical work comes with a unique challenge.

When you bring together veterinarians and policy experts, you get a room full of intense intellectual power.

You also get a wide spectrum of thinking and behavioural preferences.

This is where the Emergenetics profile becomes a game changer for productivity.

We moved beyond just "getting along" to understanding the cognitive blueprints of the team.

We discovered that while their mission is unified, their approaches are distinct.

Some members approach food standards with analytical rigour and data.

Others focus on the structural processes of implementation.

Some prioritise the relational impact on stakeholders.

The workshop revealed a powerful insight for us.

True productivity in such a specialised unit does not come from everyone thinking the same way.

It comes from knowing exactly who to tap for what perspective and how we can flex our non-preferences from time to time as well.

By mapping these attributes, the team can now collaborate with better precision.

A policy rollout is no longer just a document but a synthesis of structural planning and social intelligence.

In a world where food security is becoming increasingly complex, this ability to communicate across cognitive borders is paramount.

The Emergenetics framework gives them a common language to bypass the usual misunderstandings that slow down any team.

To the team at SFA, thank you.

Thank you for your openness to learn and for the silent, vital work you do to keep Singapore safe.

We often assume high-performing investment teams just need better data or more precise tools to win.

But during Granite Asia's recent leadership retreat, we found the truth lies somewhere else entirely.

To kick off their new financial year, we took their leadership team through The Kailash Odyssey. This is our gamified simulation designed to test decision-making under pressure through a fictitious mountain-climbing expedition.

The goal was simple.

We wanted to break down silos and reignite their drive.

Watching these brilliant minds navigate the simulation was a masterclass in adaptability.

The real breakthrough was not in solving the puzzle.

It was in how they failed, recalibrated, and succeeded together.

𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮?

Talent is universal. Alignment is not.

Seeing Granite Asia’s leaders tackle the simulation highlighted one undeniable truth.

In a multi-asset and global landscape, cross-cultural and cross-region collaboration is not just a bonus but the single most critical lever for scaling impact.

When you bridge the gap between different working styles and cultural perspectives, you do not just get a better team.

You get a multiplier effect that no algorithm can replicate.

Thank you, Granite Asia, for trusting us with your journey.

Here is to conquering the real mountains in the year ahead!

𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀.

In the last 2 years, one pattern has become impossible to ignore.

𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙥. 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩.

According to LinkedIn’s 2024 Workplace Learning Report, 𝟴𝟵% 𝗼𝗳 𝗟&𝗗 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, yet fewer than half feel confident they can measure whether learning actually changes behaviour.

That gap is the story.

Workshops still happen.

Courses still get completed.

But behaviour quietly snaps back to old habits weeks later. (Been there before?)

𝗪𝗵𝘆?

Because most learning still ends when the session ends.

Learning science has shown this for decades, but the pressure is new:

• Budgets are tighter

• Managers are stretched

• Executives want proof, not participation

Deloitte’s 2024 Human Capital Trends found that organisations are moving from “training delivery” to performance outcomes, with managers now expected to reinforce skills on the job.

AI won’t replace facilitators.

Digital learning won’t kill workshops.

But unreinforced learning will become indefensible.

IMO, the future of L&D looks like this:

➡️ Fewer, shorter live sessions

➡️ AI-assisted design instead of blank slides

➡️ Continuous post-workshop reinforcement
(Our Ripprl app can help here! 😁 )

➡️ Managers nudged to coach, not just approve training

Learning will feel lighter.

But it will shape behaviour far more.

The question isn’t whether learning changes but whether L&D leads that change.

Or gets dragged by it 🤔
