The advent of AI has begun – according to a report by McKinsey, GenAI could potentially contribute $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in productivity value across industries, boosting the overall impact of AI by 15 to 40% and unlocking 35-70% productivity gains to fuel transformative change.

With generative AI altering how we perceive and carry out work, forward-thinking HR leaders are being entrusted with driving this change forward, and this requires not only understanding GenAI fundamentals but also transforming the approach to workforce upskilling. It is crucial for organisations and their leaders to actively provide employees with the necessary skills to navigate this era.
