How do organizations and societies navigate an AI- and technology-driven world? In "The Skills-Powered Organization," Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA, and Tanuj Kapilashrami demonstrate why skills, not jobs or degrees, need to be the currency for an equitable and inclusive future of work. This practical step-by-step guide for new and seasoned leaders shows how to future-proof organizations for the post–fourth industrial revolution world. We invite you to join Jesuthasan and Kapilashrami on October 16th for a LinkedIn Live session on developing a better understanding of structuring and orchestrating an enterprise built on skills. This event is graciously hosted by Thinkers50. Link for details and registration: https://bit.ly/3S6Eg6B
