AI, workplace culture and the future of work with Dan Södergren

What if AI isn’t changing your culture... just turning up the volume? 🤯
This week, the "AI Uncle" himself, Dan Södergren, returns for a record third time to unpack the Fifth Industrial Revolution — and why your mindset matters more than your tech stack.
Dan’s message is clear: AI amplifies the leadership culture you already have. If it’s strong, you’ll thrive faster. If it’s flawed, you’ll fail faster.
Drawing on data from Europe’s largest HR leadership survey, Dan shares the three biggest challenges facing leaders right now:
💻 The Shadow AI problem – Over half of companies have no AI policy, so employees are quietly using unsecured systems. A huge risk for trust, security, and retention.
📉 The training crisis – Only 7% of HR leaders feel confident making data-led decisions. Without AI skills, your people are 35% more likely to leave.
🧠 The leadership paradox – Leading “superhuman” teams powered by AI demands new levels of emotional intelligence, agility, and data-driven thinking.
But this isn’t a doom story — it’s an opportunity. Dan explains why curiosity and the ability to “vibe code” are now the real hard skills. And he reminds us: AI won’t replace you — but someone using AI might.
If you want to understand how to lead through this revolution — and keep your people happy, human, and ahead — this is the one to listen to.
