Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping workplaces everywhere, with profound implications for productivity, job roles, and economic growth. In ASEAN, 57% of the workforce—about 164 million people—are expected to see their jobs impacted by GenAI, either through augmentation or disruption. Skills required for jobs in the region have already changed by up to 40% since 2016, and this is projected to accelerate to a 72% shift by 2030.Â
In Singapore, 67% of employees have used GenAI, and daily usage is expected to triple in the next five years. On average, GenAI saves daily users 4.4 hours per week, which can be reinvested in learning and higher-value work. These trends underscore the urgent need for organisations to upskill their workforce to remain competitive and harness the full potential of AI-driven transformation.

Product development and IT functions are experiencing a paradigm shift as AI accelerates the pace of innovation and market responsiveness. The skills required for these teams now extend beyond traditional coding to include AI tools and data literacy.
Upskilling is not just about individual learning—teams need structured, collaborative training to develop shared AI fluency, integrate new tools, and solve complex problems together. Research shows that organisations investing in continuous learning and mentorship for product teams grow 2.2 times faster as a business during economic uncertainty. Self-teaching may suffice for basic AI concepts, but mastering real-world applications, cross-functional collaboration, and deployment at scale requires dedicated, team-based upskilling programs
Proficiency in AI goes far beyond prompt engineering. The true business value lies in integrating AI into decision-making, fostering a culture of creativity, and guiding teams through change. Studies show that teams combining AI with strong human skills—creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability—are up to 40% more productive and deliver higher-quality outcomes according to Tech for Good Institute.
Leaders must shift focus from learning individual tools to developing strategic frameworks for AI adoption, establishing feedback loops, and aligning AI initiatives with organisational goals. Attempting to sift through the ever-expanding AI tool landscape alone is inefficient; instead, leaders should prioritise structured upskilling, cross-functional collaboration, and the development of internal AI champions to drive sustainable transformation.Â
Leaders will have to be familiar with the implications of GenAI and the foundational building blocks of its technology and how it may be combined with other technologies e.g. quantum computing.
Support functions such as HR, operations, and finance are rapidly adopting GenAI to drive efficiency, cost savings, and strategic value. In HR for example, GenAI automates routine tasks like candidate screening, onboarding, and employee communications, freeing professionals to focus on higher-value activities. According to Bain, time savings range from 15% to 20%.
For support teams, upskilling in GenAI is no longer optional—it is essential for improving productivity, reducing costs, and ensuring that these critical functions can contribute strategically to business growth.

An AI augmented organisation will outperform an non-AI augmented one. As agentic workflows and AI agents become the norm in workplaces, teams will need to work with stochastic outcomes; by designing workflows and libraries for more predictable outputs. Effective communication and creative problem solving are some of the key skills required to work with AI as a partner.
