Future of Work: AI, Automation and the Human Advantage

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Build a defensible workforce plan for AI and automation with task decomposition, gap analysis, and reskilling frameworks you can apply this quarter.


 

Description

Most future of work content ends with a feeling of being informed and nothing changed by Monday. This course takes the opposite approach. It hands you frameworks, a trend filter, a maturity model, and a 12 month roadmap, then asks you to test every claim against a metric on your own team.

This Course Offers

  • A stated filter for telling a durable shift from a cyclical fluctuation from pure hype, so you stop planning around noise
  • A method for breaking any role into tasks and deciding which ones an AI agent should take, and which decisions must stay with a person
  • Workforce planning fundamentals covering demand forecasting, norming, optimisation, and the FTE arithmetic that automation changes
  • A skills library and gap analysis you can build without buying a platform
  • Ten lessons on reskilling, because that is the only mechanism that turns a statistic about changing skills into a funded plan

Why We Love This Course

  1. It refuses to be a prediction list. Every framework comes with an owner, a metric, and a first step, which is rare in this category.
  2. The material is grounded in real operations. Cases and benchmarks replace speculation, and the instructor names where things actually changed rather than where a keynote said they would.
  3. Mike Pritula built the people system at Preply through its unicorn phase and has worked at Wargaming, iDeals, and Alfa-Bank, so the workforce planning content comes from someone who owned the arithmetic.
  4. Over 1.6 million students across 185 countries, plus active Q&A support, means you are not working through the frameworks alone.

The gap between reading about the future of work and having a position your leadership will accept is usually one exercise wide. Do you want to keep collecting predictions, or take one role on your team and find out where the work actually moved? Enrollment is open, and the first lesson gives you something to act on today.

Course Eligibility

  • This course is perfect for leaders deciding what their organisation should automate and what it should not.
  • It suits managers whose teams already use AI faster than company policy has caught up.
  • Operations, transformation, and people professionals redesigning how work gets done will find working frameworks rather than theory.

Course Requirements

  • You need responsibility for a team, a function, or how work is organised somewhere in your organisation.
  • No AI background is required, since everything starts from what the tools actually do.
  • Basic comfort with a spreadsheet will help for the workforce planning block.
