Shock Awe AI The AI Reskilling Revolution: (Click For PDF Overview)

This session focuses on strategies and solutions to address the TOP challenge confronting modern organizations: developing new skills to match the rapid evolution of new technologies.

Corporate leaders cannot possibly steer the enterprises of the future with the skillsets of the past—particularly given that the half-life of relevant skills is now less than 5 years, and plummets to 2.5 years in the tech sphere.

Perhaps more striking, skills must be CONSTANTLY refreshed since 85% of the jobs in 2030 . . . do not yet exist.

AI, Automation, and Quantum technologies show no signs of slowing down (just the opposite), and the implications are MASSIVE. By 2025, 50% of all employees will need to undergo reskilling, a figure that could swell to 90% of the global working population by 2030. And the cost of neglecting this paradigm shift could lead to a $15 trillion deficit in global GDP.

The imperative is clear: organizations must invest as much in talent as they do in technology. Because the gravest threat is not that technology will render us redundant, but that our capabilities will grow obsolete.

Employers must step up as the new educators. Companies have to create cultures of continuous learning (and curiosity!). Leadership needs to prioritize skills as core to competitive strategy. And organizations should nurture not only digital literacy—but also the “human-centric” soft skills of adaptability, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

All told, in this age of extreme acceleration, the factor most critical for success won’t be digital . . . it will be uniquely human. So bring in CK to motivate your audiences to meet this historic moment.

Creating A CURIOUS Culture: (Click For PDF Overview)

In this session CK makes a compelling case for curiosity to be at the core of corporate culture . . .

To be human is to be inherently curious: it’s how we learn, why we evolve, and what moves us outside of our comfort zones. And to succeed in the age of acceleration and AI, companies will have to (constantly!) push beyond familiar boundaries.

Culture isn’t what a company creates; it’s the shared values and priorities that comprise the company. And the power of curious cultures comes not from technology, but from an unending stream of questions, a commitment to continuous learning, and a spirit of relentless reinvention.

Curious cultures thrive on questions. While answers bring us to an end point, questions perpetually propel us forward. Even the quality of AI outputs (answers) is dependent on the caliber of Human inputs (questions).

Learning is truly the lifeblood of curious cultures. Especially since digital transformation isn’t a finite destination, but an ongoing journey of leveraging–and learning!–new technologies. And the refreshing of skills is particularly essential, given the rapid evolution of new roles, and job requirements.

Most important, curious cultures are defined by their readiness to embrace change, not evade it. These companies accept an undeniable reality: reinvent or risk obsolescence. And amid permanent technological upheaval, the ability to remain relevant is both invaluable and transient.

Bring in CK to enlighten your audience on how today’s curiosity-powered organizations are securing their spots as the forerunners of the future.

AI Human Renaissance NAVIGATING THE TALENT CRISIS: (Click For PDF Overview)

The global talent crisis cannot be overstated. 85 million unfilled jobs. $8.5 trillion in unrealized revenue. Demand will outstrip supply by 2030—but deficits will hit in just 2 years. In fact, 7 out of 10 companies are already understaffed.

But this crisis is mired in misinformation. Robots aren’t auto-mating jobs away. There aren’t enough humans to fill them. Even with increased automation, technology still creates more jobs than it destroys. The issue is not that AIs are too abundant; it’s that skilled talent is too scarce.

And the effects could be enormous. Superpowers lose their elite global status. Economies flatten due to stalled innovation. Companies relocate to countries that have a talent surplus. And other impacts we can’t yet imagine.

Navigating the crisis will require changes across every facet of the corporation. Like creating cultures of continuous learning. And extending our ecosystems of employees to span more types of workers, and more flexible work formats. Employers will need to become the new educators, as they must constantly re-skill—and renew!—their talent resources.

But good could also emerge from this crisis. Employers might tap underserved groups for career opportunities. Com-panies could view skills-rich certifications as favorably as advanced degrees. And older professionals may even be courted back into the workforce.

Alas, this crisis is making it spectacularly clear: While The Future Of Work nabs all the headlines, The Future of WORKERS is the real story. Instead of predicting “what” work we’ll do, and from “where” we’ll do it, the focus must turn to “who” will do the work . . . and “how” we’ll find and train them.
