Most organisations have launched AI pilots – but few have converted the initial spark of energy into lasting capability. The gap isn’t with the AI itself. Like any general purpose technology, humans simply haven’t yet worked out how to redesign workflows, business models, and their own skills to harness new capabilities.

In this irreverent yet thought-provoking session, Tom Szekeres will share a human-first perspective on AI upskilling drawn from delivering AI transformation programmes at enterprises including Deloitte, New York Times, LHH, and TAG Heuer.

You’ll learn how to reframe the “AI vs. jobs” narrative for your workforce, equip line managers as adoption coaches, and design psychologically safe practice environments where employees can build genuine capability.

The session closes with a simple alignment blueprint that connects L&D, talent, and transformation teams – so your AI investment translates into genuine lifts in performance – not just course completions.

• By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
• Reframe the AI-versus-jobs narrative to reduce workforce anxiety and build engagement
• Empower teams to lift capability across functions – not just within pilot groups
• Apply an alignment blueprint to connect L&D, HR, and transformation partners
