Beyond Jobs: How Skills-Based Organisations Thrive When AI Disrupts Work

AI is disrupting the very foundations of work. Traditional job roles are dissolving, and rigid organisational structures are struggling to keep pace with the speed of change. The winners in this new era won’t be those clinging to outdated job titles but those who embrace a skills-based approach.

This talk explores why moving “beyond jobs” is no longer optional, it’s essential. We’ll examine how skills-based organisations unlock hidden talent, reduce bias, accelerate redeployment, and build more resilient workforces. Only when we truly understand what we do can we understand what can be augmented, automated, or displaced. We’ll also explore why taking a Skills Ops approach is critical to securing the greatest ROI for AI tooling.

The session will highlight real-world examples and practical steps to start the journey, leaving participants with a clear understanding of why skills-first thinking is the key to future-proofing in the age of AI.
