Episode 167: Alison Ettridge - Reengineering Work: Putting Humans in the Lead of AI Transformation

Alison Ettridge, Founder of AmpliTask, is focused on reengineering work for the age of AI so organisations and the next generation can thrive. Drawing on her background in executive search, talent strategy and workforce analytics, Alison explains why successful AI transformation requires organisations to understand their workforce data, redesign workflows and rethink business processes rather than simply automate existing tasks. She explores how leaders can identify employees’ hidden skills, rethink roles and redesign end-to-end work processes with humans leading AI transformation. Alison discusses engaging middle managers in organisational change, developing essential human skills for the future of work, and ensuring responsible AI adoption through clear accountability and oversight of AI agents.
