Companies are making plans for artificial intelligence. But how well do those plans prepare the people who will work with it? That question is at the heart of the title of iFundi Managing Director Stefan Lauber’s article, published by CNBC Africa: “Companies are building AI roadmaps; few have a people strategy to match.”

For employers, the topic raises an important discussion about the relationship between technology investment and workforce development. Introducing AI tools brings practical questions: what will change in employees’ daily work, which skills will they need, and how will managers support them through that change?

At iFundi, these questions sit close to our work with organisations and their teams. Skills development has a central role in helping people understand new technology and apply it confidently in their working lives.

We’re pleased to share Stefan’s contribution with our community of employers, HR professionals and learning and development teams.
