Is your workforce READY for what’s coming?

Building future-ready organisations in an era of AI, disruption and constant change

LRMG & Skillsoft Workforce Readiness Executive Forum | Nairobi 2026

In August 2026, LRMG and Skillsoft brought together HR, Talent, Learning and Business leaders in Nairobi to explore how organisations can build future-ready workforces in an era of AI, disruption and constant change.
The Forum examined the capabilities organisations need to adapt and thrive, how leaders can identify and close workforce readiness gaps, and how learning can be connected to measurable business value.

AI Skills Readiness Playbook

LRMG’s 5-question AI Skills Readiness Playbook to help HR, L&D and Talent leaders pressure-test skills visibility, learning relevance, practice, adoption and proof of progress.

Workforce Readiness

Workforce readiness accelerates when the right elements come together – when your people have the skills for today and the capabilities for tomorrow, when effort is fueled by inspiration, when visibility drives faster, smarter decisions, and when your teams adapt with confidence and move in sync with change.
