For decades we've focused on what people know. Now, the conversation is shifting to what people can do. It's how you adapt when things change. How you collaborate when it's hard. How you stay resilient, think clearly and communicate through it all. These power skills are redefining what it means to be ready in the age of AI. They help us learn faster, work smarter and turn change into opportunity. When these skills become visible, progress becomes proof, giving people new ways to grow and show what they can do. Which skills do you find yourself relying on most right now? #ETS #PowerSkills #FutureReady #HumanProgress

𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀. At today’s Human Capital Ministerial Conclave, leaders from more than 30 countries came together with one message: 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲—𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀—𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. When we launched the Human Capital Project seven years ago, the goal was simple: to make sure development is not just about infrastructure or finance, but about people—their knowledge, health, and ability to thrive. We’ve made progress, but not enough. Conflict, pandemics, and fiscal pressures have slowed momentum. Too many young people still lack the skills and opportunities to reach their potential. Jobs cannot grow without skills—and skills are as vital as roads or power grids. They are the infrastructure of the future. There is urgency to act. Governments, the private sector, and civil society all have a role to play in accelerating investment in human capital. I was honored to open today’s discussion with Singapore's President Tharman, partners, colleagues committed to building a world where every person has the chance to succeed. http://wrld.bg/yyF750XcQ7B #SkillsForJobs #InvestInPeople #WBGMeetings

In the age of AI, thinking is the new rebellion Artificial intelligence can now generate answers faster than we can read them. But here’s the paradox: in a world flooded with instant responses, the rarest and most valuable skill is learning to ask meaningful questions. The very technique to get the best results from AI is called prompt engineering —literally, the engineering of questions. And that tells us something profound: before mastering machines, we must master our own thinking. Because to ask a good question, you need structure. You need knowledge, imagination, and the intellectual scaffolding that comes only from curiosity, time, and effort. The future will belong to those who can combine both worlds—machines that accelerate our work, and minds that give it purpose. AI gives us speed. But only wisdom gives us direction. Read the full interview here: Preparing Graduates for the Future of Work https://lnkd.in/dRCHS2wv My sincere thanks to Mariko Zapf and IFC - International Finance Corporation for the thoughtful conversation and for capturing the spirit of this dialogue so beautifully. #ArtificialIntelligence #Education #FutureOfWork #CriticalThinking #Leadership #HumanIntelligence

AI can analyze data faster than any of us. But when the world shifts overnight, it can’t adapt. That’s where people have the edge. Adaptability means rethinking plans, learning as we go, bouncing back when things don’t work out and trying a new path forward. We’ve all had to do that. And it’s what will matter most in the future of work. But adaptability isn’t fixed. It can be practiced, measured, and strengthened — just like any other skill. The future of work won't be won by machines alone. It will be shaped by people who know how to adapt. Thank you Jeroen Kraaijenbrink for the insightful graphic. #FutureOfWork #Adaptability #HumanSkills #LifelongLearning
