Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants promise greater productivity. But more and more companies are grappling with a new problem: Employees are producing content faster than ever, while quality, relevance, and value are suffering. Welcome to the world of "workslop." In this article, we’ll show how companies can strike a balance between speed and quality—and how AI can actually boost productivity.

Many companies view artificial intelligence with a mixture of curiosity and unease.
The most common question asked in workshops and consulting sessions is, “Will AI replace us?”

The honest answer is: No.
But the more nuanced answer is at least as important. That’s because generative AI is changing who becomes particularly valuable within a company, who thrives, and who gets left behind. Not because machines are replacing people, but because, as the publication“AI Changes Job Profiles—Not Employment”shows, the real competitive advantage lies not in the technology itself, but in people’s willingness to grow alongside it.

Those who get bogged down in administrative routines have no room for new ideas. For Swiss SMEs, however, creativity is the key competitive advantage needed to hold their own in the market.

For Swiss SMEs, the targeted automation of routine tasks is much more than just a way to save time. It lays the necessary foundation for freeing up mental capacity for strategic innovation and genuine creative work.

Artificial intelligence and mindfulness are often viewed as opposites. On one side is rapidly evolving technology; on the other, calm and slowing down. But this perspective falls short.
In my work as an AI expert and in my discussions with my wife, Tatiana Stadler Stöckli—who works as a psychologist and mindfulness trainer—we see every day just how wonderfully these two fields complement each other.
Artificial intelligence can take work off your hands and speed up processes. But it takes a mindful person to set the right course. It’s not about doing more, but about making more conscious decisions.

HR teams at Swiss SMEs juggle job applications, onboarding, absences, and expense reports. AI-powered automation reduces effort, errors, and processing times when implemented fairly, transparently, and in compliance with the Data Protection Act (DSG). This guide shows you how to get started in a pragmatic way, manage risks, and achieve measurable benefits.
