Episode 583 Reskilling or Rusting? Why Now Is the Time to Reinvent Work
Manage episode 487999625 series 1177881
In 2019, the OECD warned that 14% of global jobs would be eliminated and another 32% would be dramatically transformed by automation. Fast-forward to today, and that prediction feels like an understatement. Generative AI like ChatGPT has accelerated change at a pace no one saw coming. The shelf life of a skill? Less than five years. In tech, sometimes less than three.
In this episode with Dr. Bray, we’re digging deep into what this seismic shift means for the future of work and how companies must respond. From CEOs to HR leaders, and from frontline managers to hourly workers, the pressure is on to rethink roles, retrain talent, and rebuild strategy from the ground up.
What You’ll Learn:
Why upskilling alone isn’t enough in today’s AI-driven workplace
The five paradigm shifts that define successful reskilling efforts
Real-world examples from Amazon, Vodafone, Ericsson, CVS, and more
Why reskilling is more than training—it’s strategic, cultural, and collaborative
We’ll also explore how organizations can:
Treat reskilling as a competitive advantage, not just a cost center
Empower employees to navigate career shifts with confidence
Break down internal silos and avoid ‘talent hoarding’
Leverage partnerships with nonprofits, governments, and colleges to scale up fast
Whether you’re a leader navigating digital disruption, a workforce strategist, or simply curious about how AI is reshaping work, this episode delivers the practical insights and bold thinking you need to stay ahead.
QUOTES BY DR. BRAY
“You can’t change people — but you can teach them how to adapt, how to learn, and how to be curious.”
“Middle managers are the most important individuals in the organization.”
