Imagine buying a sports car — when you have never driven before.

Imagine buying a sports car — when you have never driven before.

Sounds absurd?

That is exactly what is happening with AI right now.

What I see in dozens of conversations:

GenAI is almost everywhere — adequate training almost nowhere.

The logic behind it?

"The tool is intuitive."

"People will learn it."

Here is the problem:

An AI tool without the skills is like a sports car without a driving licence.

You have horsepower. But no impact. The sports car stays in the garage.

On top of that, one size does not fit all. Board members, team leaders, specialists — each needs different training.

The uncomfortable truth: companies investing in tools now while cutting corners on enablement will discover in two years that they have paid dearly to park.

My takeaway from dozens of conversations:

It is not about more tools. It is about people learning to work differently with AI — not just use AI.

Hand on heart:

If you are honest, what percentage of your L&D budget currently goes into AI enablement?
