What do most organizations get wrong about AI? 

Relying on external AI consultants.

We don't need to point out that AI is going to cause seismic shifts in how we work and what we do — 44% of 44% of workers' core skills are expected to change in the next few years. 

Our executive director, Dr. Luigi Pecoraro, and Dr. Yasar Jarrar, Managing Partner of GOV CAMPUS, co-wrote an op-ed in The National about how governments must build robust internal teams in order to thrive during technological change. 

Consultants can have positive impacts on your work, but investing in transforming your team into experts yields ongoing impacts, including: 

  • Control over their strategic direction as AI demands how we rethink traditional governance models
  • A team that excels at critical thinking, strategic problem-solving, and digital literacy 
  • Long-term cost savings

The most important element in adapting to AI? 

Fostering a culture of continuous learning, for team members and leaders of all levels. 

Read the full op-ed in The National about the risks of over-relying on consultants and how leaders can strengthen their teams to navigate any unexpected hurdles.
