AI is restructuring your workforce — the sector has committed to upskill it

AI is not arriving in financial services as a tool upgrade; it is restructuring the work itself. The industry's own response is now formal, and it names an accountable executive in every signatory firm.

What it costs to leave unsolved

30–50% of tasks in most financial-services roles face significant automation, and the sector must recruit and retrain around 450,000 highly skilled workers over the next decade. The Financial Services Skills Compact commits signatory firms to upskill their entire UK workforce in AI over a rolling three years — a commitment with a named senior executive accountable for it.

AI for the Board

What it fixes. Boards are asked to approve AI strategy they have not been briefed on. This cohort licence gives the whole board the same briefing at the same standard, facilitated as a cohort — not a link that circulates and dies.

What’s inside

  • The board briefing modules — about 3.5 hours in total, in short sittings a director can actually finish
  • A per-leader completion record — who has completed what, kept for your board minutes
  • The board discussion pack: agenda, question bank, appraisal checklist and a draft AI-oversight terms of reference

14-day fit-or-refund: if it isn’t right for your organisation, tell us within 14 days of purchase and we refund it in full. Delivery is guaranteed without a time limit. Fit and delivery are guaranteed — never an outcome.

£2,950 per organisational cohort licence (up to 10 seats)

The LRA answer

How the current catalogue answers it

Two programmes answer the Compact's two demands together: AI for Senior Decision Makers and Executives gives the accountable executive the direction layer, and the HR analytics programme gives the workforce-planning layer — AI-skills planning and people analytics to evidence the upskilling, team by team.
