Roald Harvey, MBA posted thisKeeping up with everything happening in AI right now is genuinely hard. The pace is wild — by the time you've caught up on one announcement, three more have dropped. Here's a simple workflow that's been a game-changer for me 👇 I set up a scheduled prompt in Gemini that runs every weekday at 8:30 AM and delivers a 5-minute brief on the most important developments. Think of it as a personal "Chief of Staff" — quietly cutting through the noise on LinkedIn, Reddit, and tech journals so I'm already up to speed before I open my laptop. The prompt structure I'm finding most effective: "Please provide a comprehensive 5 to 7-minute read summary of the most significant [Topic — e.g., FinTech / SaaS / AI] developments over the past week. Scour major tech news, X, LinkedIn thought leaders, and Reddit. Ensure the summary contains 6 to 8 key pieces of information, organized with clear headings, covering: • Industry News & Major Announcements • Practical Guides / How-To for the workplace • Thought Leadership & Notable Perspectives Please provide links for reference." The real unlock is the scheduling. ⏰ Once you've dialed in the output you like, just ask Gemini to "Schedule this as a recurring action" — and your daily brief shows up waiting for you each morning. ☕ It changes your routine from "finding info" to "analyzing signals." That shift compounds faster than you'd think. Swap in your own focus area — Finance, Product, GTM, whatever you're tracking — and give it a run.

Roald Harvey, MBA shared thisMost companies are buying AI tools. Almost none of them have someone dedicated to making sure their people actually know how to use them. Closing that gap is exactly why we’ve created this role. I'm genuinely excited to share that we're looking for an AI Enablement Partner — and I want to be upfront: this is not a standard position. This is one of the most forward-looking roles I've seen emerge in the People/IT space, and it's the kind of opportunity that requires a very special person to fill it: ✅ Is obsessively curious about AI — not just following the news, but experimenting, building, and forming opinions ✅ Has hands-on experience deploying agents, automations, and workflows across real business functions ✅ Knows their way around Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and what's coming next ✅ A natural communicator who can meet people where they are — turning uncertainty about AI into genuine confidence and excitement ✅ Brings structure to ambiguity and moves fast without waiting for a playbook This person will partner cross-functionally across our entire organization — diagnosing where AI can shift cognitive load, building the tools that make it happen, and coaching the people who use them. Think of it kind of like an HRBP role, but for unlocking human + AI potential. If you've been quietly building things, researching models, and waiting for a role that finally matches where you see the world heading — this might be it. 📍 Remote-friendly (Canada/USA) | 🇨🇦 $80K–$120K CAD / 🇺🇸 $80K–$120K USD Drop a comment, DM me, or share with someone who should see this. The right person for this role probably already knows who they are. https://lnkd.in/eZdV3xhT #AI #AIEnablement #FutureOfWork #AIAgents #RemoteWork

This is a great breakdown. Your second point, "Bias Toward Action," really resonates because it touches on the powerful concept that imperfect action is almost always more valuable than perfect inaction.
This principle extends to all areas of life, from leadership to personal projects. A first draft of a blog post, filled with typos and awkward sentences, is still a better starting point than a blank page. A sales call you make without a perfectly polished pitch can lead to a conversation that reveals the customer's needs, while the perfect pitch you never deliver is a missed opportunity. This isn't just about finishing tasks; it's about the compounding power of imperfect progress. It's the engine that drives innovation and growth.

Roald Harvey, MBA liked thisRoald Harvey, MBA liked thisToday is a great day for Athennian!! Just closed a complex deal with one of the most respected financial institutions on the street. The reason why i'm so excited about it wasn't because it was pretty sizable, but because we went head-to-head with almost all of the Entity Management systems on the market and was chosen. It came down to our AI vs. their AI + "AI Agents" There was one thing clear after thorough testing - only one system was accurate and not hallucinating. Only one system focused on automation of entity data input. Only one system had the correct permissioning structure that enables responsible and more directed AI use. System infrastructure is critical and I'm hoping there's more education around it for other companies that are beginning to shop for a SaaS platform. It's more important than ever right now, and a sophisticated buyer like this is the proof! #EntityManagement #AI #AutomatedCorporateGovernance

Roald Harvey, MBA liked thisRoald Harvey, MBA liked thisHiring has changed for me. Specifically, the weights. Skills and team fit are still table stakes. What I’ve started indexing much more heavily on, especially for senior CSM roles, is domain expertise. Used to be: if you were sharp, had solid CSM related skill, and got along with the team, we’d teach you the industry. For junior roles, that’s still often the right call. You have the runway to ramp someone, and the work is more process driven. Senior roles are a different conversation. Especially with more complex software. When you’re at a small or midsize company and every hire is strategic, time to impact matters in a way it didn’t three to five years ago. A senior CSM who already knows the customer and the industry isn’t just ramping faster. They’re operating at a different altitude from day one. AI is pushing this further. It’s not eating process work overnight, but the direction is clear. Over time, AI will handle more and more of what we used to spend months training CSMs on. Templates, summaries, prep, data pulls. What AI surfaces is information. What senior CSMs with real domain expertise do is know what to do with it. That’s the combination I’m hiring for right now. Not expertise instead of skills. Expertise as the thing I’m willing to pay a real premium for, especially at the senior end.

Commercial teams have long struggled with fragmented data and limited visibility. Developing and commercializing medical devices requires a unique approach to relationship building that spreadsheets and traditional CRMs can’t address. AcuityMD gives these teams the insights to understand where and how to sell, helping accelerate the adoption of life-changing technology. Having partnered with AcuityMD since their Series A, we've seen firsthand how the thoughtfulness of the team and their approach have been the right way to service the market.

Roald Harvey, MBA liked thisRoald Harvey, MBA liked thisThe Future of HR Tech Won’t Look Like HR Tech HR technology is moving beyond portals, persona journeys, and experience layers. As AI becomes the operating engine of people functions, the next frontier is not prettier screens—it is invisible intelligence embedded into work. Recent design thinking echoes this shift: UI/UX has evolved from static pages, to structured interfaces, to user experience, and now toward AI-led conversational and intent-based systems where users describe what they need and software executes the task. That has major implications for HR. Instead of asking employees to navigate menus, forms, and portals, HR services will increasingly appear directly where work happens: • Learning prompts inside sales workflows • Hiring actions inside collaboration tools • Manager coaching inside planning tools • Career mobility recommendations during project staffing The future HR interface may not look like HR software at all. This also creates a new design challenge: HR systems will need to serve two users simultaneously. Humans need empathy, transparency, and trust. AI agents need clean logic, structured rules, permissions, and data signals. As Forbes notes, AI reduces traditional navigation but can also increase cognitive load if poorly designed. That means successful HR tech must combine automation with clarity and human control. Trust becomes the real UI: • Clear expectations of what AI can and cannot do • Recommendations, not false certainty • Easy override and appeals • Transparent reasoning behind decisions The HR capability shift is equally important. HR leaders will need strengths in: • Workflow architecture • AI interaction design • Algorithmic governance • Experience orchestration • Change leadership We are moving through three eras: Efficiency → digitized HR processes Experience → better journeys and portals Intelligence → AI embedded into decisions and workflows The winners in HR Tech won’t be the vendors with the nicest dashboard. They’ll be the ones employees barely notice—because intelligence shows up exactly when needed, inside the flow of work. https://lnkd.in/eFpZHr-k
