Be a Pilot, Not a Passenger: AQ Foundations Course

Take the AQ Foundations Course & Steer Your Organization with Adaptability Intelligence

AQ Foundations Course: Steer Your Organization with Adaptability Intelligence

It’s no surprise to anyone that change is coming faster than ever. 

Up to 40% of today’s jobs won’t exist (Source: IMF) in 10 years, and as many as 375 million people may need to change jobs (Source: McKinsey) over the next five years. In that same time, the average worker will see roughly 40% of their existing skills change (Source: WEF) dramatically or become obsolete. 

Couple this rate of skills change with an impending massive labor shortage (Source: Lightcast), and it becomes clear that companies need innovative and agile talent now more than ever. 

Be Worried or Be Prepared

In other words, all those uncertainties that are keeping you up at night?… You’re right to be worried. That monster under your bed—this unrelenting freight train of change—is real.

But you don’t have to be afraid or feel like a victim.

Instead, you can take the helm and build a culture that embraces change with a dynamic, adaptable and resilient team that thrives in the face of unpredictability and uncertainty.

If we can do something to help people to cope with that [change], first of all, it’s good for mental health. Second of all, it’s good for us as a company because if people embrace change, now you’ve got somebody who is more productive, and they don’t get derailed….” says Paul VanDuyne, President/CEO of building and infrastructure engineering firm IMEG Corp. “Having a tool that would allow us to preemptively determine who’s having a struggle with this and how we help them is a huge advantage.”

Exclusive Adaptability Certification

The AQai Adaptability Certification is that tool. It’s your blueprint for being a pilot not a passenger in navigating change for your organization, and Competitive Edge’s AQ Foundation Certification Course is the essential first step in learning to soar despite an uncertain future.

I needed a way to assess not only me, my team, but also the organization,” said Jason Slater, Chief Digital & Innovation Officer, UNIDO. “[AQai] enabled us to draw a line of who we are, where we are, but most important of all, it gave us a bit of guidance as to where we want to go, especially navigating through what is a very disruptive period of change. And for that, we found that AQai was the perfect tool to help us through this process.
