Key Takeaways
- Boards expect AI and emerging technologies to reshape workforce strategy, but many acknowledge significant gaps in their oversight of workforce transformation.
- Although workforce implications of AI are regularly discussed in the boardroom, directors are less confident that their organizations have the talent pipelines, leadership depth, and workforce strategies needed to adapt.
- Effective oversight requires more forward-looking workforce reporting that links future skills, leadership readiness, and workforce planning to long-term business strategy.
