🎧 Why AI Talent Is the #1 Growth Challenge for Businesses (and How to Solve It)

AI tools are evolving fast—but if your company can’t hire or retain the right talent, you’re already falling behind.

How to position your business to attract top-tier talent without Silicon Valley budgets
Why AI adoption is a cultural and organisational transformation, not just a tech upgrade
