A practical career roadmap for professionals navigating AI-driven workforce transformation

One Step Ahead with AI: Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning provides early-stage professionals with frameworks and strategies for building AI-relevant skills, adapting to AI-driven workflows, and positioning AI as a collaborator in their careers. Written by Fawad Qureshi, who has advised C-level executives across 50+ countries, the book focuses on individual career resilience rather than organisational-level AI strategy or technical implementation.

One Step Ahead with AI addresses job displacement concerns, reskilling challenges, and the mindset shifts required to thrive alongside AI. Readers gain actionable steps through real-world case studies drawn from industry-spanning AI initiatives. Qureshi delivers hands-on strategies for integrating AI into daily workflows, developing adaptable skill sets, and building data. Each chapter provides structured guidance for professionals seeking to differentiate themselves in an AI-transformed labour market.

Readers will also find:

  • Frameworks for acquiring AI-relevant skills that translate across industries and professional roles in changing workplaces
  • Real-world case studies illustrating how professionals have successfully adapted their careers to AI-driven workflows
  • Strategies for leveraging AI as a collaborative tool rather than viewing it as a competitive threat
  • Guidance on reskilling and continuous learning cycles that address the learn, unlearn, and relearn process
  • Actionable steps for data and positioning yourself for AI-powered career advancement opportunities

One Step Ahead with AI is written for early-stage professionals across industries who want concrete strategies for adapting their skills and workflows to AI-driven environments. Whether navigating reskilling decisions, integrating AI tools into daily work, or building long-term career resilience, this book delivers a structured, industry-spanning roadmap grounded in real-world experience.
