In a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping industries and redefining business strategies, the true determinant of success lies in the human element—talent, people, and organisational culture. The integration of AI is not merely a technological initiative; it is a cultural and strategic transformation that requires organisations to rethink how they attract, develop, and retain talent while embedding AI as a tool for empowerment rather than disruption.
Recent reports, such as the 2024 World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report, reveal that while AI adoption is expected to create 97 million new roles globally, it also threatens to displace approximately 85 million jobs by 2025. This stark reality underscores the Board's critical role in ensuring talent strategies are aligned with AI-driven transformations. Meanwhile, a study by Gartner highlights that organisations with a culture focused on innovation and employee engagement are four times more likely to see successful AI adoption.
This programme delves into how Boards can shape an organisational culture that integrates AI strategically while prioritizing talent and people. It addresses the nuances of reskilling and upskilling, embedding AI ethics in governance, and fostering collaboration between humans and AI systems. Attendees will explore how AI’s integration into the workforce can enhance productivity and decision-making, provided there is a concerted effort to maintain trust, accountability, and inclusivity at all levels.
