As AI transforms the way work gets done, many organizations are trying to understand the skills they need today, as well as the expertise they'll need tomorrow. 

In this week's episode, Cammy and Gemma are joined by skills expert Koreen Pagano to unpack the rise of skills-based organizations. 

We discussed:

  • What becoming 'skills-based' in an organization might look like 
  • The benefits and challenges of shifting towards a skill-based approach 
  • The impact of AI on this shift, skills development and managers.

You can pre-order Koreen's forthcoming book, Rewiring Your Organization for AI, and buy her published books Building the Skills-Based Organization and Immersive Learning: Designing for Authentic Practice

In 'What I Learned this Week', Cammy shared a non-fiction book recommendation for Shakespeare was a Woman and Other Heresies

Koreen described the lives of a family of eagles which she's been following on the Big Bear Bald Eagle cam.
