Why Moderna Merged Its Tech and HR Departments—And Why That’s Not the Transformation You Think It Is — Seattle Consulting Group

"When Moderna announced the merger of its human resources and technology departments, many interpreted the move as the future of organizational design—AI-powered, cross-functional, agile. The appointment of a Chief People and Digital Technology Officer seemed to signal something profound: the dismantling of silos in favor of unified, intelligent design.

But behind the headlines, a more unsettling truth lingers."

  • Merging HR and tech may appear forward-thinking, but unless it is accompanied by a fundamental redesign of how power, trust, and accountability are distributed within the organization, it risks doing little more than accelerating legacy inefficiencies.
  • Thousands of ChatGPT agents now supplement—or in some cases replace—human labor within HR and digital functions. On the surface, it feels like a necessary leap into the next era of organizational productivity.

Moderna Is Rewriting The Enterprise Playbook

"When Moderna announced the merger of its HR and technology departments, it might have looked like a conventional corporate restructuring. But beneath the surface, this move signals something more profound. It is not about trimming operations or rearranging org charts. It is a statement about the future of organizational design and how companies must evolve to stay competitive."

Right fit, wrong fit - Dialogue Review

"Is rotten culture really the culprit in today’s crisis of employee engagement and retention – or is it instead a question of endemic misalignment between companies and talent?"

  • n a June 2022 Global Workplace Report, Gallup estimated the cost of lost productivity in the global workplace due to disengaged employees to be $7.8 trillion. That is 11% of global GDP, or nearly twice the market cap of Google, Amazon and Apple combined. What is most staggering about the number is that it has remained relatively unchanged despite ever-increasing expenditure by companies on the employee experience, on beautiful workplaces, employee engagement surveys, culture transformations, and leadership and manager development.

  • For every 33 AI POCs a company launched, only four graduated to production, IDC found.
  • Half of the organizations have adopted Al, but most are still in the early stages of implementation or experimentation, testing the technologies on a small scale or in specific use-cases, as they work to overcome challenges of unclear ROI, insufficient Al-ready data and a lack of in-house Al expertise.”

  • We also spoke with AI-native startups, academics, economists, scientists, and thought leaders to explore what work could become. The data and insights point to the emergence of an entirely new organization, a Frontier Firm that looks markedly different from those we know today. Structured around on-demand intelligence and powered by “hybrid” teams of humans + agents, these companies scale rapidly, operate with agility, and generate value faster.

IBM CEO: AI Replaced Hundreds of Human Resources Staff | Entrepreneur

"IBM CEO Arvind Krishna told The Wall Street Journal on Monday that the tech giant had tapped into AI to take over the work of several hundred human resources employees.

Research: Do LLMs Have Values?

"Why not investigate what happens when you ask popular generative Large Language Models (LLMs) to rank their values using this same questionnaire? Therefore, we partnered with the team at FindYourValues.com, the developers of the Core Values Finder, to ensure a psychometrically sound assessment of the LLM’s values and to facilitate their meaningful and accurate visualization."

Shared by Bertrand Duperrin, Bertrand Duperrin added annotation, 1 save total

  • We didn’t ask the question of LLM values as a lark. We asked it because we track and evaluate AI values as part of our work on the alignment problem—the challenge of ensuring that LLMs act in alignment with human values and intentions.
  • Our goal is to make AI more “explainable” by using technical tools to visually benchmark the implicit values that influence its outputs.
