The Human Skills Premium: Where Value Moves in the Age of AI

New research from McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management on where value moves when AI makes output cheap. Judgment, coordination, and the practice gap between knowing which skills matter and using them.

The science of accountability: it's not what you think.

Accountability isn't just about getting a job done and answering to a boss. It's a complex, psychological process. The research is clear: true accountability can't be forced from the top down. It must be cultivated, and that starts with understanding how our brains are wired.

No Time to Train: Building Human Skills in Healthcare

Healthcare is a people-centered profession. Patients, families, nurses, physicians, techs, administrators, and pharmacists all depend on face-to-face interactions that run on communication, trust, and emotional regulation. When those skills are weak, the whole system pays. Communication gaps contribute to roughly 70% of sentinel events in patient care. These breakdowns are rarely about clinical knowledge. More often, they come from miscommunicated medication information, concerns left unspoken, or results that were never shared, or that someone assumed had been.

AI is great at killing pointless friction: The routine email, the scheduling back-and-forth, the meeting summary nobody wanted to write. But what if some friction is worth saving?

How CARE Measures the Skills That Matter

Most teams want one thing: to look competent. But few are focused on the thing that actually gets them there: the desire to learn, align on purpose, and build a process that works for everyone. That gap is usually explained away as "culture" or "chemistry." Vague, unmeasurable, someone else's job to fix. We use the CARE framework to prove otherwise.
