L&D In Action: Winning Strategies from Learning Leaders
The Technology Question: Balancing AI with Strong Leadership and Learning Content
May 30, 2023
In this episode of L&D in Action, we’re joined by Christopher Lind, VP and Chief Learning Officer at ChenMed. As a career investigator of the intersection among technology, people and business, he ultimately asks one question, which he and host Tyler interrogate at length: What’s the healthy center for adopting and utilizing new technology in the workplace? When it comes to artificial intelligence, Christopher identifies an uncertain path ahead, though he agrees there is potential to enhance interactions between leaders and their teams by making them more profound, personalized and meaningful.
While Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the business world, human history has shown a tendency to charge ahead of our own technological readiness. The unstoppable flurry of new AI applications in the last few years has captivated everyone’s attention with promises of greater efficiency and power. So, how do we make sure that these innovations actually help us improve as innovators, as community-builders, and as people?

Who better to answer this question than Christopher Lind. Christopher is a learning and development veteran who serves as VP and Chief Learning Officer at ChenMed. He has dedicated his career to fostering and promoting human-centered leadership, which means that he often deals in changes that tend to de-center human interaction… Not the least of which is AI. Christopher leaves no feather unruffled when it comes to making the tough choices about integrating emerging technology into our organizations, hierarchies and daily responsibilities.
