In the latest episode of Driven by Expertise, Powered by AI, we explore how our firm is preparing colleagues, future talent, and future leaders for an AI-enabled workplace, while staying true to the expertise and judgement that defines the firm. 

"AI adoption starts with people. Technology can create opportunities, but people are the ones who make them valuable," says Jaap. “The key is to stay curious, keep learning, and be open to change." 

Throughout the discussion, the focus remains on helping colleagues build the skills and confidence needed to use AI responsibly in their daily work. Preparing for an AI-enabled workplace is not about turning everyone into AI specialists.  

Rather, it is about understanding how AI can support professional work while recognising where human expertise, judgement, and context remain crucial. The conversation also explores how AI is reshaping learning and development. As technology evolves, continuous learning and knowledge-sharing become increasingly important for professionals at every stage of their careers. 

For Lieselot, that makes AI a people topic as much as a technology topic. 

"Technology can support our work, but our people remain essential for quality and client relationships," she explains. Looking ahead, the two emphasise that the future is not about choosing between expertise and AI but combining the two effectively.
