The introduction of AI is far more than a technological shift – it is fundamentally changing how people work, collaborate, and make decisions. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into organizations, it reshapes the skills employees need and challenges existing ways of thinking about roles, responsibilities, and culture.

In this talk, we explore the “skills shift” driven by AI: Which competencies are becoming more important? Which ones are losing relevance? And how can organizations prepare their people for this transformation in a meaningful and sustainable way?

Rather than focusing solely on tools and technologies, we take a broader, systemic perspective. Successful AI adoption is not just about implementation – it requires understanding and addressing the human and social dynamics within an organization. Questions around mindset, trust, leadership, and collaboration play a critical role in whether AI initiatives succeed or fail.

We will share insights into why many AI projects struggle to create real impact, and how organizations can move beyond a purely technical approach. By connecting technical knowledge with a systemic view, we highlight what it takes to navigate the cultural and organizational changes that come with AI.

The talk also provides an overview of how organizations can actively approach this transformation: from building awareness and fostering acceptance to developing the capabilities needed to work effectively with AI. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to think about AI not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for broader change.

This session is designed for leaders, HR professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how AI is reshaping the future of work – and what it means for people, skills, and organizations.
