It has been really interesting to observe how our clients in the pensions and wealth industries are approaching AI – and crucially, how it is (or in some cases isn’t) being implemented. I’ve found it is incredibly important to nurture curiosity – to ask the challenging questions, including how things can be done differently, and maybe even better?
Mindset matters a lot. Adopt a growth mindset – the belief that abilities, intelligence, and talents can be developed over time through dedication, hard work, and learning. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, where someone believes their abilities and intelligence are static and cannot change.
People with a growth mindset view challenges as opportunities to grow, embrace feedback, and are more resilient in the face of setbacks. They see effort as a pathway to mastery and are more likely to persist in learning new skills and achieving their goals.
You aren’t looking for a quantum leap. Search for those incremental improvements that when taken together will create a fundamental shift. Think about the Tour de France. Better handwashing to avoid germs, improved pillows for better sleep, tiny aerodynamic redesigns for faster results. Alone these tweaks are helpful – together they are powerful.
What excites me is the fact that we now have a new set of tools which can transform the way we work together. I hope that everyone continues to trial and test AI tools that are going to help in your day jobs. Be specific in the issues you’re trying to solve – find your use case – and automate the tasks that can be.
Because the more time we can save, the more intellectual firepower we can deploy to help ensure we all achieve our respective goals. By putting the pensions and wealth industries at the forefront of innovation, we can help every member and every client we are working for achieve the best possible outcome.
