Algorithms are replacing corporate intuition (20-minute deep dive)
A roughly 20-minute Jenny and Ron animated deep dive for People leaders on how algorithms are replacing gut feel in performance and talent decisions, comparing how HR platforms such as Leapsome, Personio and Revolut People join up goals, reviews and compensation planning.
Summary
Jenny and Ron open with the "junk drawer" model of HR: separate tools for payroll, time off, sales tracking and paper performance reviews that never talk to each other.
They then compare how modern HR platforms (Leapsome, Personio and Revolut People) have moved from filing cabinets to systems that link goals, reviews and compensation planning, and ask whether tying daily work to company OKRs is micromanagement or data-driven fairness.
Along the way they discuss recency bias in annual reviews, how AI summaries of one-to-ones and live goal tracking build a documented history of impact, and the same data-over-gut approach in sales outreach cadences.
The episode closes with a question for People leaders: as more of work is scripted and measured, when does human intuition become a liability, and where should people stay in charge?
