Over the five years to 2023, the business development of the mineral sector in the mining industry in Indonesia has grown rapidly. This development is supported by various aspects, such as government strategic plans that support an integrated downstream system, increased demand related to the use of electric vehicles, and a commitment to creating environmentally friendly technology. The opportunity for this business development is certainly accompanied by various challenges ranging from uncertainty in aspects of geo-political, economic, and environmental conditions. Uncertainty in facing these fragile conditions makes companies have to be able to survive in any condition, quickly and responsively, in facing various changes and opportunities that arise.

The agility readiness of companies in preparing people & organizations is the key to business acceleration and riding the wave in taking advantage of every opportunity that arises. The company's readiness is centered on the quality of the leader and all components within the company to be able to move agilely following the company’s strategy. This is where the role of HR as a business partner must be able to open horizons and determine steps first, to open the eyes of every component within the company to be able to learn new things, see business potential, calculate opportunities and risks, and prepare all aspects of HR components related as a supporting acceleration of desired business.

To effectively address the aforementioned conditions, the philosophical underpinning of organizational development should be centered around five core principles: speed of execution, tolerance for ambiguity, flexible design, focus on the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, and leadership enhancement. These five facets must operate cohesively: fostering a mindset geared towards rapidity to prevent falling behind competitors, daring to make decisions within permissible bounds of ambiguity, possessing the capability to design a flexible organizational framework capable of swift adjustments, and, equally importantly, maintaining focus on the PDCA cycle. Last, organizational development should emphasize the human dimension as an asset, catalyzing within the organization.

"The role of AI is only as a support system for what plans and strategies you will implement in your organization"

It is imperative to recognize that artificial intelligence (AI) serves as an auxiliary technology rather than an all-encompassing solution. AI's role is not to supplant human labor but to function as a system bolstering human productivity within their roles. The rapid evolution of AI will significantly augment the operational landscape of the organization's development function, ushering in a departure from conventional methodologies. AI is a supporting technology, not everything. The existence of AI is not a replacement for the role of humans in work but a system that is capable of supporting human productivity in carrying out their roles. The rapid evolution of AI will significantly augment the operational landscape of the organization's development function, ushering in a departure from conventional methodologies.

Reduce Workload: AI capabilities such as Chat GPT will make traditional ways in the job analysis process faster and beyond tradition. The old way of making job description changes is very fast, with good language structure and the right prompt on the AI system. In addition, AI's ability to provide simple reports that you want. Employees only need to provide thinking logic, data, parameters, and expectations on the desired report. The AI system will provide a simple report/syntax/formula in the document you need instantly.

Consistency: AI's ability to become a quality checker for our subjectivity and consistency in making decisions and analysis that has been applied to various aspects of the organization. AI is able to provide input and recommendations to reduce subjectivity in decision-making.

Accelerate your Understanding: AI's ability to provide information beyond human memory capabilities. Various basic understandings and information that humans may not yet realize can be explained by AI. Are you confused about the role of a function in a general industry? Some AI systems like Chat GPT are able to give you initial insights related to main responsibilities, KPIs, and qualifications needed, even specific to certain regions. This will be very beneficial for your new employees who need a holistic understanding of a function and role in your organization. Machine learning's ability to learn all related components is beneficial for organizations to learn what has been learned in your industry.

In addition to the aforementioned advantages of AI that is able to provide support that is always available and fast, remember that AI is not everything; the human ability to think psychologically and build relationships emotionally with every stakeholder is something that cannot be replaced. The role of AI is only as a support system for what plans and strategies you will implement in your organization. The leadership role of each employee remains an aspect that should not be forgotten.
