The cautionary tale of IgniteTech by firing 80% of its workforce for AI resistance isn’t about mandating adoption; it’s a stark illustration of the pace of disruption we’re facing.
While Generative AI and Agentic AI promise unprecedented efficiency gains, the story highlights a critical risk.
A talent pool rendered obsolete by their own reluctance to adapt.
Executives must move beyond surface-level AI initiatives and proactively assess the “AI literacy” gap within their organizations, understanding that resistance isn’t just a skills issue.
It’s a cultural and strategic one.
Are you fostering a culture of continuous learning and experimentation, or are you inadvertently creating a two-tiered workforce?
The question isn’t if AI will impact your business, but how you’re preparing your people and your leadership for the inevitable shift.
What proactive steps are you taking today to ensure your organization doesn’t face a similar reckoning?
