The AI revolution is reshaping the way organizations run their business. AI is compelling businesses to reassess skilling strategies in order to navigate through this AI revolution and become more competitive in our dynamic world. The World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts workforce market transformation. While automation may replace 85 million existing jobs, AI will likely also create 97 million new roles by 2025.

According to a recent study by Boston Consulting Group and Harvard University, AI can enhance efficiency, productivity, and output quality by up to 40%. With six out of ten workers requiring training by 2027, focusing on skills like analytical and creative thinking is more crucial than ever. 

Driving Skilling at Work with AI

In a recent Workplace Learning Report 2024, skill agility was ranked a top business priority. Learners today are juggling time constraints while seeking that elusive work-life balance as they step up to tackle new challenges and rapidly evolving business goals. Thus, to truly meet your needs, it’s critical to identify and understand the obstacles holding your organization back from exponential success. 

 The 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report by Microsoft reveals that 75% of knowledge workers globally use generative AI.

AI-Powered Learning: The Key to Smarter, Faster, and More Engaging Skill-Building

AI-powered learning solutions make skill development smarter, faster, and more engaging, acting as a powerful ally to enhance productivity, deepen customer relations, build trust, and provide a sustainable competitive edge.

AI-powered learning solutions enhance organizational agility by pinpointing skill gaps and delivering tailored learning solutions. This approach not only accelerates time-to-skill but also boosts individual performance by helping organizations swiftly adapt to market changes.

How AI is Driving the Next Wave of Skill Transformation in the Workplace: Key Applications

  • AI Performance Metrics: Integrating AI with performance metrics allows organizations to provide personalized recommendations and tailored learning suggestions, ensuring that skill enhancement is both relevant and efficient. 
  • AI-powered Adaptive Learning Journeys: AI-powered learning journeys are mapped to a learner’s skill level and provide real-time feedback. The adaptive learning journey allows for effective and faster skill acquisition by aligning learning experiences with individual progress.
  • Performance AI Mentor: Facilitates detection of skill gaps, recommends relevant learning interventions, and provides tailored feedback, an ongoing adjustment that ensures learning continuity for employees.

  • AI Accessibility: AI-powered accessibility features such as speech-to-text and text-to-speech, combined with automated content generation, make learning materials more accessible. This inclusivity speeds up skill development for employees, regardless of their needs.
  • Learning and Performance Mentor: AI chatbots and virtual assistants provide real-time support during the learning process, immediate assistance that helps users overcome challenges quickly, facilitating faster skill acquisition.
Beyond Algorithms: The Human Touch in Skill Building

While AI offers significant advantages, it can never replace the human touch essential for developing soft skills like creativity and empathy. AI can also reinforce biases in initial training data, such as language translation, historical content and content generation, or biases raising ethical concerns. Thus, combining AI’s data-driven insights with human expertise creates a balanced skilling ecosystem that fosters both technical and interpersonal skills.
