Leaders everywhere feel pressure to adopt AI. But moving too fast without a strategy? You risk leaving your workforce behind and wasting your workforce AI investment.

AI is reshaping jobs, workflows, and career paths in real time. Yet while 87% of executives already use AI at work, only 27% of employees do. The result is a widening gap that gets in the way of realizing true value from AI.
