AI-readiness toolkit for local businesses
In what is said to be a first for South Africa, a solution designed to help businesses reskill and support their workforces as they integrate AI into operations has been launched by software solutions company Specno.
The toolkit aims to help companies 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 Specno chairperson Daniel Novitzkas. “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.”
Novitzkas explains that 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.
He adds that the solution aims to empower 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-plus experts and more than 200 clients across 20 industries - including retail, e-commerce and fintech - Specno asserts that it is well positioned to guide local businesses into the AI-enabled future.
