IT’S ABOUT BUILDING A MORE

THE HR JOURNEY TO COGNITIVE

ANOTHER ERA
12. REASON
They can reason, grasp
underlying concepts,
form hypotheses, and
make sense of and
extract ideas.
UNDERSTAND
Cognitive systems can
receive and process
unstructured information
(images, text, language
and data) like humans do.
LEARN
With each data point,
interaction and outcome,
they develop and
sharpen expertise, so
they never stop
learning.
INTERACT
With abilities to see,
talk and hear,
cognitive systems
can interact with
humans in a natural
way.
WHAT IS COGNITIVE COMPUTING?
13. TOO ADVANCED FOR US!!!

cognitive will drive
significant value
in HR1

TOO ADVANCED FOR US!!!
KEY QUESTIONS WE EXPLORED
Do employees make the same decisions
when advised by cognitive systems versus
traditional HR professionals?
Do employees feel as well informed by
cognitive solutions as traditional HR
approaches?
To what extent do workers trust information
from cognitive systems versus traditional
HR sources?
Would employees be happy to reuse the
cognitive system in the future?
HR SCENARIOS
EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE
8,600 EMPLOYEES SAID:
They are able to glean appropriate
information from cognitive systems.
Cognitive offers an informational
advantage to employees.
In less personal situations,
cognitive approaches are equally
trusted by employees. (still some
work to do when personal situations
are involved)
Expect a short employee learning
curve with cognitive systems.

HUMAN RESOURCES
HUMAN & ROBOTS
• Don’t Fear the Robots: it’s about augmentation
not necessarily replacement.
• Start with the Problem not the Solution: every
problem is an opportunity in disguise!
• Empathy: the more machines we employ the
more people skills we will need!
• It’s Not Magic: it’s another level of automation
that we have all lived with for years (the focus
this time is on Knowledge and Service Industry
Workers).

HOW ARE COGNITIVE SYSTEMS DIFFERENT?
The key reason cognitive businesses operate with an entirely different set of advantages is because they are using cognitive systems.
Their abilities to get to data expand and deepen exponentially. Can see, use and operationalize virtually all data
They have programmed and probabilistic computing, giving them analysis plus hypotheses based on data patterns and probability
They can interact with their business systems more naturally, more directly. Can understand, reason, and learn

IBV Cognitive Computing Study, QCEO7: To what extent could cognitive computing drive greater value in the following key functions in your industry?
IBV Cognitive Computing Study, Question CEO8: In which functions do you expect to adopt cognitive computing in the next three years?
With IBM, the company introduced a cognitive solution, powered by Watson technology, which provides omni-channel access to the
service desk.
To better serve clients, Forum Engineering partnered with IBM to use Watson technology to introduce a cognitive computing solution that employs natural language processing and cognitive search capabilities.
