    "You may only use Copilot."

    Subscribe to the FullStack HR newsletter → https://fullstackhr.ioA week at Almedalen made one thing obvious. Most leaders shaping how Sweden thinks about AI have only ever touched Copilot or the free ChatGPT, and that single reference point is quietly capping what entire organizations believe AI can do.In this episode:Why almost nobody picks their own model, and how a Microsoft license becomes an AI strategy by accidentThe screwdriver vs power drill problem. Copilot solves the job, but it sets your expectations far too lowHow a single default tool shrinks the whole organization's sense of what AI is capable ofThe shadow IT trap, where your best people quietly run Claude or ChatGPT on the side and you lose both security and their hard-won knowledgeWhy limiting people to one tool becomes an employer branding problem over timeWhat the real frontrunners do instead. Securing Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and letting people chooseThe blunt take on IT departments that claim multi-model access is not doable on security grounds

    Claude Fable 5 is here. The models are ready, your organization isn't

    Anthropic just dropped Claude Fable 5, and I've run it through the same test suite he's used on every major model for 2.5 years. The verdict is clear, but the bigger lesson isn't about the model at all.In this episode:- Why Fable 5 feels like the most human-like model yet, and how it gives honest, direct feedback instead of patting you on the back- The worker scheduling test (30 people, legal requirements, hard constraints) and how Fable 5 handled it- A real client case where Fable 5 reworked a Copilot Studio workshop deck and improved the flow- The Mythos connection, the security guardrails, and why hacking headlines might be part PR- The pricing cliff on June 22. $10 per input token, $50 per output token, and Johannes's plan to pair Opus 4.8 for creation with Fable 5 for evaluation- The real bottleneck. Models are capable, organizations are not, and why experimentation time is the thing HR must fight for- McKinsey's warning that HR risks becoming a sub-department of IT if it doesn't take the driver's seat nowLinks mentioned:- McKinsey HR Monitor 2026 → https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/hr-monitor

    AI Shame and Why You Can't Skip the Grunt Work

    Subscribe to the FullStack HR newsletter → https://fullstackhr.ioOrganizations keep telling Johannes Sundlo, the host here, "we've got the basics covered, skip ahead." Then he asks them to show how they use AI, and gets blank stares. This episode is about AI shame, where it comes from, and the one step you can't skip.In this episode:AI shame, what it looks like and why it's more common in 2026 than 2025The pattern behind it. Buyers say "we're proficient, go straight to processes," but the proficiency is a sliver of what the models can doWhy this shows up most in leadership teams, and why leaders who skip the grunt work can't set credible AI expectations for their organizationThe missing step. You can't jump to agentic processes before you've done the unglamorous work of learning what the model can doEducate everyone, including truck drivers without computers, because employees are already getting AI advice on salary and managers in their spare timeWhy being practical beats strategic-only thinking in AI adoption right nowLessons from roughly 110 workshops this winter and spring, and why Johannes is scaling that down

    What does good performance look like in the age of AI?

    Subscribe to the FullStack HR newsletter Performance reviews have looked the same since the 1950s, and they are still mostly task-based. AI breaks that. This episode asks what we should reward when the tasks get automated and the only thing left to value is human judgment.In this episode:- Why the task-based performance review is the wrong tool for the AI era- The judgment problem. If an agent does the work, how does an employee prove their value, and does the manager even see it- A real CHRO dilemma. Two standard performers became superstars with AI, two former high performers fell behind, and bonus season arrived- Rewarding the behavior of using AI versus rewarding valid, validated output- Why AI makes the manager's job harder, not easier- The hidden cost of a thumbs-up task that creates a ripple of rework downstream- Should we scrap the performance review, hand growth to AI plus manager, or build something newLinks mentioned:- Nate B. Jones, Nate's Substack

    Is your AI consultant in the weeds, or just talking strategy?

    Subscribe to the FullStack HR newsletter → https://fullstackhr.ioThree and a half years into the AI shift, most leaders still know AI matters but have no idea how to use it. This episode is about why that gap exists, and why the answer is getting practical.In this episode:Why leaders keep asking for agentic workflows before they've done the basic Copilot grunt workThe uncomfortable question every AI educator should answer: are you in the weeds, or only working "strategically"?Why you can't set new expectations for your team until you understand the new way of working yourselfWhat buyers should demand from anyone selling AI upskillingHow to do this for free with YouTube and disciplined facilitation if you don't want to hire someoneWhy AI should serve your existing strategy, not become a separate "AI strategy"The one-gear Ferrari problem: everyone owns Copilot, almost nobody drives it past first gearThis podcast is hosted by Johannes Sundlo, one of Europe's leading voices on AI adoption in HR and the workplace. He helps organizations move from talking about AI to actually using it, through hands-on workshops, keynotes, and the FullStack HR newsletter.

    AI Bubble or Not? Why Token Costs Aren't What You Think

    Subscribe to the FullStack HR newsletterAn impromptu between-episodes take on the AI bubble panic. Johannes cuts through the headlines about rising token costs, Microsoft cutting Claude Code, and Uber's COO questioning AI ROI, and explains what's signal and what's noise.In this episode:- Why nobody can actually call a bubble, and what the market is and isn't telling us right now- The arguments for a bubble (circular money between NVIDIA and OpenAI) versus against it (Anthropic's first profitable quarter)- Why "rising token costs" is a mislabel. Per-token prices are flat or lower, total spend is what's climbing- How Moore's Law underpins the whole thing: more powerful models for the same or lower price- The full context on Uber blowing its AI budget, and why the COO is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest- Why early subsidize-then-correct cycles are normal, same as railroads, electricity, and the internet- How to do the token economics yourself: if an agent solves a problem cheaper than a human at equal quality, you have your answer- Why the model companies are targeting a ~$58 trillion global labor market, and what that means for their valuationsLinks mentioned:- Rapid Response podcast, Andrew Macdonald (Uber COO) interview - Fortune coverage of the Uber AI budget story

    Do We in HR Need to Be More Technical?

    The short answer is yes.But yes deserves an explanation. In this episode I make the case for why HR needs to get technically curious right now, and why that has nothing to do with becoming a programmer.We cover what's worth understanding (APIs, databases, MCP servers, and why they matter for HR), why playing around with tools like Claude Code, Codex, Lovable and Replit makes you a sharper buyer of HR tech, and how one curious person on a team can shift an entire organization. It might not be the CHRO. It might be the HR assistant fresh out of university.I share what it felt like walking into Spotify with close to zero backend knowledge, why the threshold for connecting systems has dropped, and why "I'm not the technical type" no longer holds as an excuse.This is where the world is heading. You can ignore it, or you can skate to where the puck is going.

    AI Is a Work Tool, Not a Perk

    In this episode, Johannes Sundlo explores a growing issue inside organizations adopting AI: the creation of an “A and B team.”Some employees get access to AI tools, licenses, education, and experimentation opportunities. Others are left behind. Not because of role or capability, but because of interest, visibility, or who happened to push hardest internally.Johannes argues that this is becoming one of the most overlooked leadership and employer branding challenges in AI adoption.He discusses:Why selective AI access creates organizational inequalityThe hidden cultural risks of AI “elite groups”Why the cost argument often falls apart under scrutinyThe chicken-and-egg problem of AI adoptionShadow AI and the risks of unsupported toolsWhy HR cannot leave this entirely to ITHow AI access is increasingly becoming a workplace infrastructure question, not an innovation experimentThis is not a conversation about hype or future speculation. It’s about what happens inside organizations right now when some employees are allowed to work with modern tools while others are expected to continue without them.A practical reflection on leadership, fairness, AI adoption, and the future of work.

    4,000 People Fired for AI. I Have Thoughts.

    Block just fired 4,000 people in a single day. Their CEO Jack Dorsey said it was because of AI. The stock jumped 20%. And the internet lost its mind.Half the people say this is pure hype. The other half say AI is coming for all of us. I think both sides are wrong, and I have thoughts.In this video I go through what actually happened at Block, weigh the evidence for and against the AI narrative, talk about why Wall Street loved this so much, and share what I think it means for leaders, employees, and anyone trying to figure out where AI and jobs are actually heading. I also take on the myth that AI skills will protect you from layoffs.

  12. 54

    Would AI Be a Better Boss Than Yours?

    What if an AI manager could do a better job than your current boss? Johannes explores this deliberately provocative question – not to argue that we should replace managers with AI, but to challenge our assumptions about what management is actually for. From the industrial revolution roots of the manager role to DoorDash's algorithmic task distribution, he examines whether the core function of "making sure work gets done" might be ripe for reinvention. If AI can handle delegation, and some managers already lack the empathy we claim only humans possess, what should human leaders actually focus on? A call to start the conversation about leadership's future before it's decided for us.

    From four weeks to 45 minutes.

    What happens when a four-week project takes 45 minutes? That's what I experienced over Christmas with Claude Code. In this episode, I share what I built, why this matters beyond coding, and the hard questions organizations need to start asking. Because this isn't slowing down.

    The HRBP Dilemma

    In today’s episode, we’re diving into a fascinating study from the University of Gothenburg about the HR Business Partner (HRBP) model in Scandinavian workplaces. The study highlights some big gaps between the ideal HRBP role and what actually happens in practice. Many HR professionals struggle with the strategic side of the role, and there’s often a disconnect between what line managers need—more operational support—and what the HRBP role is supposed to offer. One of the key takeaways is the idea of moving towards a team-based approach to HR, which might fit better with the collaborative culture in Scandinavian companies. It’s a reminder that we need to adapt global HR models to fit our local context, rather than just adopting them as-is.

    "This is Fine" says HR as AI takes their jobs.

    Many in HR exhibit an overly optimistic "this is fine" attitude about AI. But the reality is, AI is already transforming HR workflows and reducing headcounts. In this episode, we discuss why passive optimism could doom the future of work. Just as past economic shifts brought immense social upheaval, the rise of AI promises to radically reshape the workforce. The difference is, these AI shifts are happening at breakneck speed compared to history. This urgency requires proactive governance to navigate AI's impact on jobs. We can't casually expect that things will work out fine without deliberate effort to shape a positive future. Drawing on historical lessons, we explore practical ways HR professionals can lean in to steer towards an ethical, humane AI-powered world of work. The time is now to awaken from passive optimism and guide the way forward.

    Brace for Impact: AI Regulations Incoming.

    Folks, I'll admit - I can sometimes get a little carried away jumping on the latest HR tech hype train. And AI has been hyped up immensely as a silver bullet to transform our field. But recently, I took a step back to dive deeper into the EU's proposed Artificial Intelligence Act and its implications. This sweeping legislation aims to pass by end of 2023 and regulate how companies can deploy AI. The EU recognizes dangers of unfettered AI in high-stakes HR areas like hiring and performance reviews. Their framework mandates transparency, testing for bias, and human oversight of AI decisions. Responsible AI governance presents challenges. But it's also a chance to embed ethics into the foundations of HR technology. Yes, AI hype still outpaces reality. As leaders, we must ensure algorithms uplift work for all - not undermine human dignity. I’m optimistic about AI’s potential, but sober about the risks. Let’s keep discussing how HR can responsibly shape an intelligent yet human future of work.

With AI capabilities built into workflows, the friction of switching to ChatGPT diminishes. Though it offers robust conversation, platforms like LinkedIn can match these skills over time with massive datasets. I remain optimistic about AI's future, but believe it will live within our everyday platforms, not as a separate app. I also share insights from my new course and upcoming conference talk on elevating HR with generative AI.
