Overview

This is not a book about AI.
It is a book about the people who need to learn to work with it.

Artificial intelligence will change the way we work. The real difference will not be made by the technology, but by people and by human skills.

With a foreword by Giuseppe Stigliano, Marketing professor and keynote speaker, this is a practical guide for anyone working in a company who wants to stay relevant, effective and authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence.

It is for the manager who has to lead a team through this transformation. For the professional who uses AI every day but senses they could use it better. For the HR manager who needs to rethink development programmes around skills that were not needed before. For the team leader whose group is split between enthusiasts and sceptics. For the business owner who wants to invest in AI without losing the soul of the organisation. For L&D specialists and trainers responsible for development programmes.
For anyone who has ever asked: "In a world where AI does more and more, what is my value, and what makes me irreplaceable?"

Drawing on current data and research, The Human Factor in the Age of AI shows how to build the soft skills that matter most when working with artificial intelligence:

  • Analytical thinking - to identify what really matters in a problem
  • Critical thinking - to assess what AI produces instead of accepting it passively
  • Communication - to ask the right questions and turn results into decisions
  • Creativity - to move past the blandness of generative output and bring genuine originality
  • Emotional intelligence - to handle your own emotions, and other people's, during change
  • Adaptability - to stay relevant as the world of work keeps shifting
  • Collaboration - to work well in teams where AI is a new member
  • Ethics - to use AI responsibly when technology moves faster than the rules
  • Problem-solving and decision-making - to make the decisions that count.
The book also covers the specific skills required of those who lead: how to exercise leadership through an AI transformation, how to manage cultural change and how to develop the skills of a team.
Every idea is turned into concrete actions, practical exercises and tools you can use the day after you finish reading.
In the book you will find:
  • An analysis of how the skills demanded by the world of work are changing
  • A clear, non-academic definition of each soft skill
  • The concrete reasons why that skill matters more in the age of AI
  • Examples of how it shows up in everyday work
  • The real consequences when it is missing
  • Individual and team activities for developing each skill
  • Questions for self-reflection
  • More than 30 detailed cases from real settings, and over 80 sources including books, reports, research and academic publications up to 2026
  • A practical toolkit containing a self-assessment questionnaire, a 30-day development plan with daily exercises, prompt templates designed to build critical thinking and creativity, checklists for reviewing AI output, and ready-to-use handouts for corporate workshops and training courses.
