Conference Board: AI skill building is lagging behind adoption

TechnologyFinancial ServicesHealthcareManufacturingRetailProfessional Services

New research from The Conference Board, based on a global survey of nearly 1,300 workers and interviews with 35 enterprise leaders, finds most organizations are training employees on today’s AI tools rather than preparing them for rapidly changing AI‑shaped roles, and that formal AI training is struggling to keep pace with deployment.

Why it matters for leaders
Your AI strategy will stall if your workforce cannot safely and creatively use the tools you deploy; skills and change management now sit alongside model choice and data as core design variables for any AI MVP.
Opportunity signal

You can get ahead by tying your first AI MVP to a structured capability‑building program, with role‑based training, hands‑on labs, and explicit expectations for how teams should use AI in their workflows.

Risk signal
