The Future of Work: AI's Role in the Next Decade
Read this briefing document for essential insights into how AI will reshape work, skills and competitive advantages in enterprises by 2030.
We examine the strategic implications for enterprise leaders across workforce transformation, agentic AI systems, industry-specific disruption and the skills revolution that will define competitive advantage through the next decade.
Organisations that master AI transformation in the next 3-5 years will establish critical competitive advantages.
Up to 30% of work hours across developed economies could be automated by 2030.
The AI skills gap is widening, with 78% of organisations citing it as their primary barrier to transformation.
The challenge?
Enterprise leaders face a dual imperative: transform fast enough to remain competitive, whilst managing workforce transitions responsibly and maintaining trust. Most organisations are still experimenting with AI whilst leading competitors are already achieving measurable transformations.
Whilst 90% of organisations acknowledge AI's competitive importance, fewer than one in three have clear strategies for workforce reskilling, governance frameworks that balance innovation with responsibility, or leadership teams with sufficient AI literacy to guide transformation effectively.
