Senior Leaders Turn to Reverse Mentoring for Emerging Tech Insights

Raise awareness about emerging technologies and practices within organizations is possible through reverse mentoring. The Reserve Bank governor, Michele Bullock, has a 'reverse mentor' who helps her learn more about AI.

Bullock revealed during a press conference that she was learning how to use the technology from a younger employee, admitting that she wasn't great with it. She said she had found the experience valuable in building her understanding of AI and its challenges for organizations.

The Reserve Bank is piloting a reverse mentoring initiative for members of its executive committee. Big four professional services firm KPMG also has a similar program, where partners are paired with junior staff to learn about emerging technologies and practices.
