The Great Reskilling Is Here – Will It Lift Us Up or Leave Us Behind?
Companies across industries are moving at breakneck speed to integrate AI into their workforce:
- Box emphasizes strategic, productivity-focused adoption
- Duolingo is rebuilding entire workflows from the ground up
- Shopify treats AI use as the new baseline expectation
- Fiverr warns workers to “be exceptional or risk irrelevance”
- Zapier requires 100% of new hires to demonstrate AI fluency
And these are just the public examples. It’s safe to assume many other organizations are implementing similar policies behind closed doors.
We call this moment The Great Reskilling, a watershed shift that could swing dramatically in either direction. It could echo past times of disruption, like the Great Depression or the Great Recession, marked by displacement and insecurity. Or it could resemble transformative milestones like the Great Exhibition, where new technologies were made understandable and accessible to millions.
The Great Reskilling presents organizations with critical challenges:
- Keeping pace with rapid tool proliferation without overwhelming teams, or risk falling behind
- Ensuring AI enhances human work rather than replacing it, or risk displacing employees
- Integrating AI into existing systems (CRMs, ERPs, and other core platforms), or creating costly fragmentation
- Guiding the workforce through technological change with clarity and support, or leaving people to struggle alone
- Identifying the right “jobs to be done” and workflows where AI enablement can truly accelerate impact
Ultimately, the determining factor is this: Will organizations invest in comprehensive, accessible training and mentoring that lifts people up, or will they leave employees to navigate the transformation alone?

Why Organizations Choose to Partner With Cascade Insights
You don’t need another vendor – you need a partner who understands that The Great Reskilling succeeds or fails based on how well we prepare people for change, not just how quickly we deploy technology.
- Two Decades of Role-Focused Research Expertise: We’ve spent 20 years studying how professionals and teams adapt to technology shifts, from early internet adoption to cloud migration to now AI integration – so our training aligns with how people actually work, learn, and grow.
- Platform-Neutral Approach: Whether you’re deeply invested in Google Workspace today, committed to Microsoft 365, or evaluating new solutions, we build training that transcends any single vendor ecosystem and works with your technology decisions.
- People-Centric Philosophy: Our purpose is to equip people with AI capabilities, not to steamroll them with software implementations. We believe The Great Reskilling becomes “great” when it amplifies human judgment and expertise rather than replacing it.
- Educational DNA: Founded by longtime educator Sean Campbell, Cascade has built its reputation on helping teams adapt, learn, and grow through major technological transitions. We understand that lasting change happens through education and empowerment, not just tool deployment.
The Difference? We see technology adoption as human development. While others focus on software rollouts and feature adoption, we focus on building confident, capable people who can leverage AI to do their best work. That’s how The Great Reskilling becomes a story of empowerment rather than displacement.
About Sean Campbell

We had a very good engagement with Cascade! Their team has been a pleasure to work with, and the insights we’ve gotten out of it have been impressive.
I’ve compiled them not only into battlecards but a Gemini NotebookLM instance. It’s pretty cool — you can query it with anything you think of, and it pulls from ALL the sources: the transcripts, original .mp4 recordings, and various other documents. This wouldn’t have been possible with run-of-the-mill data gleaned from what’s publicly available. In fact, most competitor insights are carefully hidden away. Cascade uncovered all those details for us and allowed us to go a lot deeper.
