The concept of the "transparent human" shows how easily personal insights can be extracted from seemingly innocuous data. With just a few details, organizations can create detailed profiles that can influence behavior. Read more in Robin von Malottki's latest article. #DataScience #DataPrivacy

Some really eye-opening posts have caught my eye recently, as today's theme seems to be a combo of cautious optimism and bold reframings. Here goes: https://zurl.co/mLsT Starting strong with an invitation to talk about a dreaded topic in L&D by the ever-resourceful Lavinia Mehedințu. Is AI the Bogeyman or savior of L&Ds? What if it's neither? https://zurl.co/tjH3 Continuing the thread, Egle Vinauskaite makes a case for splitting AI's applications in L&D into two categories: support for L&D Ops and L&D's support for the organization to adopt AI. https://zurl.co/9MAy Amanda Nolen asks CEOs to start seeing people as assets instead of liabilities. This hits too close to home for many L&Ds, who constantly defend their position, ironically, in front of those who should be supporting them most. https://zurl.co/tyOk I found this excellent post from a while ago by Navarun B. in Amanda's post comments: "L&D is not an ‘investment’, but ‘cost of doing business’!" If this enrages you, please go read the entire post. It helped me better understand L&D's tricky context. https://zurl.co/Cs3L Jess Almlie, M.S., flips the script by saying, "Our data should inform our practice and how we work with the rest of the business." We can move away from constantly "proving ourselves" and instead work on "making better-informed decisions" with the help of the data that we measure. I really like this reframe. Always defending yourself produces work that has too narrow of an angle. https://zurl.co/oEIg Actionable advice from Ryan Viehrig - my favorite is the data dashboard. I think it's a very compelling deliverable that speaks volumes about your commitment to data. I'll post soon about my own experience delivering this and how impactful it was. https://zurl.co/ZRzg Absolutely brilliant and a-ha-style advice from Dr. Alaina Szlachta! Who's on your support team within the organization - or outside of it, for that matter? The funny thing is that it might not be the people or roles you most expect. Support can come from many directions, and having a good support system is a two-way street: you look for and nurture those relationships so that your impact, reach, and visibility can ensure enthusiastic adoption and, ultimately, the success of your L&D work. And thank you for introducing me to Adriane Jones' work, Alaina! https://zurl.co/B4hJ Ashley Sinclair shares very thoughtful words here. A good product serves its audience well, and effective marketing cuts through the noise and highlights the product's value. I love the precision of this post! That's it, thanks for being here with me! Also, City of Austin is friggin' amazing, especially during SXSW 🔥
