Leadership and Business Roadmap – July 2023
“THE FUTURE OF WORK LIES IN THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN HUMANS AND AI, WHERE TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES OUR NATURAL ABILITIES, ALLOWING US TO THINK MORE STRATEGICALLY AND CREATIVELY AND EMPOWERING US TO DRIVE INNOVATION IN THE WORKPLACE.”
WELCOME TO JULY!
When we think about the phrase, “the future of work,” especially in the past few months, it’s hard not to consider the significant influence of Generative AI and its rapid immersion into our daily work lives. Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new text, images, or code. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, making it possible to automate tasks, generate creative content, and collaborate more effectively. So, how will Generative AI or one of its tools such as ChatGPT, Bard, and others impact your job or help you perform day-to-day tasks more effectively?
To help prepare leaders, teams, and individual contributors for this future of work, Skillsoft is developing a learning solution to promote enterprise readiness for Generative AI based around three principles:
- Developing a baseline understanding of Gen AI and establishing guardrails for thoughtful, safe, ethical use of the technology
- Solving business problems by leveraging the technology to reimagine the future of work
- Enabling transformation across the business and developing the human skills necessary to sustain progress
Check out the exciting curriculum below!
- Generative AI and its Impact to Everyday Business
- Harnessing the Disruption of Generative AI
- Navigating Ethical Challenges and Risks
- Recognizing Hallucinations, Inaccuracies and Bias
- Establishing Guardrails and Governance
- Reimagining the Customer Experience

Here at Skillsoft, we recognize July as Developing Your Team month, and as leaders we need to refocus our efforts to ensure we’re mindful about developing our teams in the age of Generative AI. Those team members who use AI to augment their skills may advance further and be more successful overall than team members who don’t. In her latest article, Skillsoft’s Head of Global Content, Anju Choudhary has some valuable suggestions you can use to help your people develop the skills and mindset they need to thrive in the age of generative AI.
As you explore our library of leadership and business courses, books, audiobooks, summaries, and book club selections I encourage you to consider how you can leverage them to further develop your teams.
