54. How People Work: A Look Back at 30 Years of Workforce Development

Back in 1992, Peter Drucker, the legendary management expert, wrote about "the rise of the knowledge worker." Since then, trends already in place have accelerated faster than anyone could have expected.    In this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, we talk with Rick Wartzman, Head of the KH Moon Center for a Functioning Society at the Drucker Institute, about how automation has impacted the knowledge worker since the mid-1900s.    Specifically, Rick talks about: * Trends in knowledge work over the past 20-30 years * The relationship between knowledge workers and digital transformation * How automation will impact knowledge workers in the future   Resources Mentioned on the Show * Better-educated, higher-paid workers will be ‘most affected’ by AI, per new study * What Peter Drucker Knew About 2020  * What Peter Drucker Had to Say About Automation    To ensure that you never miss an episode of Generation Digital Workforce, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or here.  Visit us on our socials for more RPA and IA top tips and regular updates: ​​🦾 Get started with SS&C Blue Prism: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ByJorU⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧑‍💻LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/2GP5eKt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🐦Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3JHBHUM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙋‍♀️Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3LHQC2L⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📸Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3TgQCYW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💭Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3WabzFk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🤩Case studies: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3VSIj6j​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn what RPA is and how it works: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠What is RPA?

49. Human-Digital Collaboration

RPA is all about automation, and most digital workers are great at automated tasks. If you want to get into something more interesting and more valuable, however, let's talk about machine learning.    You could train a digital worker to have a bit of machine learning in it. Over time, your worker would learn to understand information, not just repeat tasks. Eventually, it could communicate its opinion to a human being and then learn from that human's opinion.    That puts digital and human workers in a closer relationship than ever.   In this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, we talk with Eric Tyree, Head of AI and Research at Blue Prism, Eric discusses human-digital interaction.   Specifically, Eric talks about: * How AI can tangibly benefit RPA * The ways AI can support commerce, not just technology * ...And what Eric believes the future of work looks like   To ensure that you never miss an episode of Generation Digital Workforce, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, or here.  Visit us on our socials for more RPA and IA top tips and regular updates: ​​🦾 Get started with SS&C Blue Prism: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ByJorU⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧑‍💻LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/2GP5eKt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🐦Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3JHBHUM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙋‍♀️Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3LHQC2L⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📸Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3TgQCYW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💭Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3WabzFk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🤩Case studies: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3VSIj6j​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn what RPA is and how it works: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠What is RPA?
