The Skill Gap Hiding Inside Your AI Strategy

from Prepare4Growth Hosted by Richard Outram

What does getting our workforce AI-ready actually mean? My guest today has trained ten million professionals worldwide, including all four branches of the U.S. military, and he's convinced the AI skills gap keeping executives up at night isn't really about AI at all. It's exposing a gap that was already there, long before anyone said the word "AI" in a board meeting. Brian Morris is President and CEO of SkillPath, a global corporate training company that runs more than sixteen thousand sessions a year. He built his career on one blunt idea: talent development belongs on the growth side of the ledger, not the overhead side. On this episode of Prepare4Growth: Still Human, we ask him what building an AI-ready workforce actually requires once you strip away the hype.... how to create real accountability without burning out your best people, what running a company taught him that coaching athletes didn't, and why the leaders who get this right aren't the ones chasing the newest tool, but the ones who never stopped investing in their people. This is a conversation for anyone who's said "we need to get AI-ready" and isn't quite sure what to do next.
