What's Happening?
GCC School and KC GlobEd organized a round table meeting to discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and the future workforce. The event, held at Welcome hotel
by ITC Hotels on the Delhi-Gurugram Highway, brought together industry leaders and experts to explore how AI is transforming workforce models and talent strategies. Key speakers included Jaspreet Bindra, Founder & CEO of AI & Beyond, who emphasized AI's role in changing business decision-making and innovation. The discussion focused on AI-driven role changes, leadership development, and the evolving partnership between industry and academia. The meeting highlighted the shift from qualification-based systems to competency-based frameworks, stressing the importance of AI literacy over deep technical specialization.
Why It's Important?
The round table's discussions are significant as they address the evolving needs of the workforce in the context of AI integration. As GCCs transition from support centers to innovation hubs, the need for a workforce skilled in AI collaboration becomes crucial. This shift has implications for education and industry, which must align to develop talent strategies that are future-ready. The emphasis on AI literacy suggests a broader impact on educational curricula and professional training programs, potentially influencing how future employees are prepared for AI-driven environments. The meeting's outcomes could guide policymakers and industry leaders in shaping workforce development strategies that align with technological advancements.
What's Next?
A major outcome of the round table will be the creation of a White Paper capturing the discussions and recommendations. This document will be disseminated to industry leaders, policymakers, and academia to inform future strategies. The focus will likely be on fostering collaboration between industry and educational institutions to ensure that workforce development keeps pace with AI advancements. The recommendations may also influence policy decisions regarding skilling frameworks and certification standards, aiming to position regions like India as global hubs for high-value finance GCC talent.
