The Ultimate Guide to AI & Workforce Adoption

Get clear, practical steps to boost AI adoption across your people and organization

April 21, 2025

AI is moving fast. Is your workforce keeping up?

The AI revolution isn’t coming—it’s here. And the gap between early adopters and everyone else is already widening.

You’ve invested in technology. But without the right strategy to build skills, shift roles, and foster adoption across your organization, that investment could stall—or worse, put you behind.

Ask yourself:

Are your teams confident using AI day to day?
Do your people know where AI can actually create value?
Is your talent strategy keeping pace with how work is evolving?

If your workforce hasn’t adopted AI to its fullest potential, you’re not alone—but you are at risk of falling further behind.

This guide breaks down what it takes to lead in the era of AI—not just experiment with it. Because the winners won’t be the ones with the most tools. They’ll be the ones with the most AI-fluent people.
