In this solo episode of the Happier at Work podcast, Aoife O'Brien explores how artificial intelligence could change the way work gets done. Rather than focusing only on automation and efficiency, she asks a more fundamental question: what work needs to happen at all, and where does it create value? Drawing on her experience in market research, she reimagines the traditional client brief as a focused conversation about the decision that needs to be made, with AI providing access to information and people bringing context, judgment, and the right questions. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why redesigning work requires more than making existing tasks faster. How AI can help teams access information and support faster decision-making. The human value of context, probing questions, judgment, and problem diagnosis. The importance of asking whether work is producing real value for the client, team, department, or organisation.
