Here at DLA Ignite, while we are a relatively small business, we all understand the need to understand AI

We've had philosophical discussions about it

We've also self educated ourselves in how to use AI

Some of the team have even create small projects to enable them to build their skills

We pretty much talk about it at every meeting we have

There is also more exciting things to come about this 

I've just read an interesting article on AI literacy, here 

  • "By 2030, 92 million jobs will disappear
  • But 170 million new ones will emerge
  • And 59% of workers will need reskilling to stay in the game

That’s not speculation — that’s from the latest WEF survey of business leaders across 803 companies, representing 11.3 million workers worldwide​

But here’s the challenge:

1 in 5 workers may never receive the training they need

WEF Jobs Report 2025

And that gap isn’t just about digital skills
It’s about AI Literacy — across every role, every function, and every industry"

My advice to all leaders is to think about how you can AI enable your team

This isn't just about prompt writing, but providing context to your role

Because we know role based training is best remembered and implemented

If you are in sales or marketing, now is the time to empower your team with AI

Not in a way where the training manual sits on the shelf gathering digital dust

But based on role and responsibility 

Training not where people fall asleep listening to powerpoint after power point

But practical training where there are exercises based on what you do

Adding to the teams skills and taking them from zero to average to great
