Celfocus was at Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, for a week of innovation, collaboration, and inspiring conversations on the value of Network #DigitalTwins and #AgenticAI to empower operations!
💡João Carp, Head of Training at Celfocus, explains why reskilling and upskilling in the AI-driven era are no longer optional, they are a strategic imperative. From maturity assessment to lifelong learning, organisations must move beyond generic training models and embed AI capability into their operating model. Competitive advantage does not come from adopting AI tools alone, but from empowering people to use them effectively, responsibly and with measurable impact. “Updating skills are no longer optional. It is the only way to remain in the game.” ➡️ Read the full article for Human Resources Portugal:
