Kyndryl Report: AI Adoption Accelerates as Workforce Readiness Becomes the ROI Difference Maker
Kyndryl released its second annual People Readiness Report, surveying 1,100 leaders and finding that only 23% feel their workforce is ready for AI, down six points from 2025. The report identifies a 'Pacesetters' group—9% of organizations—that align skills and governance with AI implementation; these leaders are 1.5 times more likely to achieve AI-related revenue growth.
