Building an AI-Ready Workforce: Developing the People Behind Successful AI Adoption

Without somebody to design the role, create the workflows, manage the tools, or lead the team, a real gap starts to build. That gap, not the plethora of AI tools available, is what separates the companies getting real value from AI from the ones still trying to figure out why they aren't. Join me, Matt Fleming, Co-Founder and Managing Director of HireMango, along with Neal Ferguson, Change Management Consultant, for a lunch-hour conversation on what's actually changing in the workforce in the rise of AI. We'll walk through a real 5-step framework for actually building an AI-ready team: Upskill yourself first. You can't hire for what you don't understand. Hire for where you're going. Your old job descriptions will get you the wrong person. Create momentum, not just buy-in. Your team will push back. Plan for it. Put it to work. This is where most AI initiatives stall. Measure, then scale. Prove it once, then replicate it. Then we stop talking and build. We'll walk through one real automation start to finish and you'll build it alongside us, so you leave knowing how to run the same process on the rest of your work. Most lunch and learns send you home with notes. You'll leave this one with something real and tangible already automated. Bring a laptop so you can build it yourself!
