Learning to lead in the age of AI.
Future-proofing for an AI-powered world
As AI has fast become part of everyday work across many organizations, the leadership agenda is expanding beyond adoption to bigger decisions about how businesses adapt, how people contribute, and which capabilities will support new opportunities. The numbers tell part of the story:
- According to research by the World Economic Forum, on average, workers can expect that 39% of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated by 2030.
- A Microsoft study surveying 20,000 workers using AI found 65% fear falling behind without adapting, while 45% feel safer focusing on current goals than redesigning work with AI.
- In Adobe’s research surveying more than 5,000 senior executives, 54% of participating organizations cite skills and talent as a top barrier to scaling AI.
- Of the strategy leaders surveyed by Deloitte, 39% report that their organizations remain in pilot or early execution stages, while 16% report using AI to fundamentally reimagine lines of business or create new sources of competitive advantage.
- Among senior transformation leaders surveyed by KPMG, 75% expect gains from humans and AI working together, yet only 19% report that their workforce is ready.
These findings point to gaps between what organizations want to achieve and what it takes to make it happen. Decisions about how people and AI work together will shape the opportunities businesses can pursue, the roles people play, and the skills they need. We help leaders work through these connections: what their strategy requires, how work needs to change, and which human and AI capabilities can contribute. Through advisory work, learning, and coaching, we help them develop the skills and judgment to put those decisions into practice.
