We worked with 2U/edX on a study entitled “Navigating the Workplace in the Age of AI” study in order to understand how AI is reshaping the world of work at all levels of the organization. Between July 10 to 24, 2023, 1,600 U.S. C-Suite and employees were surveyed to gain unique insight into how professionals are preparing for the age of AI. The results uncovered often conflicting views between workers and executives on the pace and impact of automation on their companies, jobs, and personal career advancement.

“Workplace Intelligence is much more than a research partner: they’re experts in breaking through the noise to tell stories that drive businesses forward. Our collaboration was pivotal in positioning our company at the forefront of one of the most important trends in the L&D market. Their deep data expertise and exceptional media instincts helped us launch one of our most successful enterprise campaigns, including phenomenal top-tier media coverage. We’re excited to continue to build on our success together.”
