The AI Divide: Closing the Skills Gap Before Your Competitors Do
Overview
The talent market is dry. Your best people are already in the building.
As we enter 2026, organisations face a harsh reality: You cannot simply hire your way to an AI-ready business. The "Unicorns"- those rare professionals with both deep industry context and advanced AI fluency - are either unavailable or unaffordable.
If you rely on recruitment to close the skills gap, you will fall behind. The winning strategy for 2026 is to rewire: to identify, unlock, and upgrade the potential already sitting in your teams.
Join us to build your "Rewire" Roadmap.
Our fireside chat with include Paul Mills, CEO of Mai plus special guests to be announced.
In this focused webinar, we are ditching the theory to provide a practical framework for internal transformation. We will show you how to pivot your L&D and HR strategies from "acquiring talent" to "building capability."
What We Will Cover:
- The "Rewire" Methodology: Why upskilling is faster, cheaper, and more effective than recruiting for AI roles in the current market.
- Audit Your Assets: How to identify the "Sleeping Giants" in your organisation - employees with high aptitude for AI adoption who are currently in non-technical roles.
- Designing the Curriculum: Moving beyond generic "Intro to AI" courses to build role-specific learning paths that solve actual business problems.
- The Retention Bonus: How investing in "rewiring" your employees creates loyalty and reduces turnover during the Q1 "Great Reshuffle."
- Tomorrow Works as a framework: A step-by-step guide to launching your first internal mobility and upskilling pilot.
Who Should Attend?
This session is critical for leaders who own the "people strategy":
- HR Directors & Talent Heads who know the recruitment market is broken and need a sustainable alternative.
- L&D Leaders tasked with demonstrating the ROI of training over hiring.
- C-Suite Executives looking to increase productivity without blowing the headcount budget.
Why Attend?
Most companies will spend Q1 fighting for the same small pool of external talent. We will show you how to bypass that war entirely by activating the talent you already have.
