We are living in a decade of major disruptions and system shocks: digital challenges, societal shifts, pandemics, climate disasters, war in Europe and the energy crisis, are all pushing us into an accelerated transformation of different levels in society and economy.

The important thing is to dwell on how employers are going to take their responsibility to prepare their workforce for the so-called Man Machine Collaboration. Do we radically go for replacing people with machines in order to cut costs, or do we choose to make our employees and thus solutions better through the use of AI? And how do we plan for that in both a strategic and practical way?
