What leaders are bringing to me this quarter is AI: whether the money going into it holds up, and what it means for their own people. My answer has not changed. Plan for the long term. Treat change as one piece of work, not a run of separate projects. And use the support that exists: the redesigned SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit, listed under What's coming, is the first place to look.
