Interactive workshop - Workforce readiness for AI: Designing training that actually changes how people work
AI readiness will not come from a one-off training module or a library of prompts.
For People leaders, the real challenge is helping employees build the confidence, judgment, and practical habits to use AI well in the flow of work. That means understanding where training falls short, how different teams learn at different speeds, and what needs to change in roles, workflows, expectations, and leadership behaviour for AI adoption to create value.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll examine what effective AI training needs to look like in practice: how to identify readiness gaps, design learning around real work, build trust, avoid shallow adoption, and help teams apply AI in ways that improve output, decision quality, and productivity.
Expect a practical session focused on turning AI readiness from a broad ambition into a workforce capability plan leaders can act on.
Key takeaways:
- Understand why AI readiness requires more than tool access, prompt training, or one-off enablement.
- Learn how to identify readiness gaps across confidence, capability, workflow fit, trust, and leadership support.
- Explore how to design AI training around real work, so employees build habits that improve output, decision quality, and productivity.
- Gain a practical lens for building a workforce capability plan that helps AI adoption create measurable value.
