Specno has officially launched its AI Workforce Readiness Toolkit, a powerful, future-focused solution designed to help businesses reskill and support their teams as they integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into everyday operations.
Built by Specno’s team of industry experts, the toolkit equips companies to introduce AI in ways that enhance productivity, minimise disruption, and address employee concerns around change.
“AI is not a minor update – it’s a paradigm shift,” says Daniel Novitzkas, chairman of Specno. “We’ve seen time and again how technological change can trigger resistance, especially when fear and uncertainty go unaddressed. Our toolkit is designed to help local businesses bring their people along on this journey ethically, smoothly, and strategically.”
The AI Workforce Readiness Toolkit includes team-wide AI literacy programmes, insight dashboards to identify skills gaps, customised reskilling pathways based on roles and industries, as well as in-house learning platforms built around practical, real-world AI tools.
The launch comes at a critical moment, as employers face rising pressure to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global economy while maintaining their social responsibilities at home.
“Much of our economy has been built by hardworking people who’ve poured their lives into the businesses they serve,” says Novitzkas. “To cast them aside in favour of AI would be short-sighted and unjust. Social cohesion, fairness, and the long-term success of South African businesses will demand a more thoughtful approach.”
Rather than wait for government regulation, Specno’s toolkit empowers organisations to lead AI integration from the inside out, ensuring that the transition benefits both business and the people behind it.
With a team of 60+ experts and more than 200 clients across 20 industries – including retail, e-commerce and FinTech – Specno is uniquely positioned to guide local businesses into the AI-enabled future.
