What to expect

As organisations across the Middle East accelerate their AI and digital transformation initiatives, a critical challenge emerges: employees often lack the skills needed to leverage these technologies effectively. Hiring new talent alone won't close this capability gap. What's needed is a structured, strategic approach to upskilling your existing workforce.

This intensive 4-hour hands-on workshop in Riyadh delivers exactly that. Led by Samir Aliyev (CEO of the Swiss Cyber Institute, Academic Program Director at the University of St Gallen, and Doctoral Researcher in AI in Education) and Ayaz Karimov (Head of Learning at Swiss Cyber Institute, PhD in AI, and AI Trainer for UNDP, ITU, and UN Women), you'll learn a proven methodology for identifying skill gaps and transforming them into actionable learning and development plans.

What You'll Learn

The masterclass covers the most critical skills needed for sustainable competitive advantage in an AI-driven economy. You'll see a live demonstration of Swiss Cyber Institute's technical skills assessment tool — a practical resource for mapping your team's current capabilities against future requirements. The session then guides you through designing customised learning pathways tailored to different roles within your organisation, ensuring training initiatives deliver measurable business impact.

You'll also explore proven learning formats and best practices drawn from Swiss and European organisations that have successfully scaled their AI capability building programmes. This isn't theoretical — it's practical, implementation-focused guidance you can apply immediately.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for HR leaders, Learning and Development professionals, team leads, and department heads responsible for workforce transformation. Whether you're leading a 50-person team or overseeing enterprise-wide capability building, you'll gain frameworks and tools to accelerate your AI readiness.
