AI is accelerating changes in workplace roles and skill requirements at a pace that most organizations cannot match with internal upskilling programs.

This growing gap presents major risks for productivity, job satisfaction, and competitive advantage.

Paul’s Perspective:

Staying ahead of AI’s rapid disruption requires more than just investing in technology—it demands a proactive and ongoing commitment to workforce development, reskilling, and change management. Leaders who prioritize agile talent strategies will be best positioned to turn AI disruption into a business advantage, rather than a risk.


Key Points in Article:
