Why Workforce Readiness, Not Technology, Determines AI Success

AI isn’t the problem. Human readiness is. With 71% of CIOs reporting their workforce is not prepared for AI, organizations face a major barrier to realizing value. In this Gartner webinar, we move past fear-based narratives to explain what’s actually happening: not mass layoffs, but hiring restraint, shifting roles and a strategic remix of talent. You’ll learn the essential new competencies needed in the AI era, how IT roles will evolve, the behavioral byproducts leaders must navigate, and why “change management for managers” is the missing linchpin for sustained AI impact. Join us to discover how to prepare your people for AI — because while AI is ready, most workforces aren’t.

• Identify the new competencies and role shifts required to build an AI-ready workforce
• Understand behavioral impacts of AI and how to prepare managers to lead through change
• Learn how strategic talent remixing — not layoffs — will shape the future of IT and business roles
