With 63% of employers investing in AI, organisations expect technology to reshape a significant share of work. Yet only 51% of workers feel optimistic about what this means for their future. This is not simply a change challenge. It is an inclusion challenge, because confidence, access to opportunity, and progression will not be evenly shared unless AI is designed and deployed with intent.
As AI scales, the capabilities organisations increasingly rely on are not technical alone. Judgment, communication, ethical reasoning, coaching, and creativity are becoming more valuable, particularly where decisions affect people, trust, and compliance. Leadership, problem-solving, and critical thinking are rising fastest in demand because organisations need people who can make sound decisions with AI, not simply use it.
This Inclusion Lab focuses on building co-intelligence in practice: developing human skills alongside AI capability, protecting progression pathways as roles evolve, and ensuring AI adoption strengthens performance without narrowing opportunity or reinforcing inequality.
