Crisp overview
We are facing an unprecedented challenge.
With the development of cognitive technologies, the skills gap is increasing. It is our pivotal responsibility today to start aligning employees’ talents to organisational capabilities.
So how do we educate & prepare our workforce and transform our workplace so that we are all ready to embrace and collaborate with AI? How can organisations and leaders approach this, and how do YOU, on a personal level, get ready for the not so distant future?
The shelflife of skills is decreasing rapidly. So we ask the biggest leaders and experts across industries in the global AI ecosystem how different industries, organisations and disciplines prepare the workforce, and how individuals can get ready to embrace and work hand in hand with cognitive technologies.
Focus Points
- Preparing & empowering the workforce for the future
- Aligning employees’ skills to organizational capabilities
- Harmonizing the collaboration of humans & algorithms
