Duncan Wardle

Leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert Kai Fu Lee has suggested that upwards of 40% of current jobs could be replaced by AI within the next 15 years. 40%!

How we will compete in the next decade? What skills will we need to survive in a decade of total disruption and rise in AI? Simple. Businesses that will win will be those that leverage the most impactful human traits that AI won’t be able to replicate (at least not for the foreseeable future): creativity, intuition, curiosity, and imagination. This is why CEOs everywhere look to Wardle for guidance on how to create a culture of innovation and provide their organizations with the tools needed to leverage their most important asset: their people.
