About the book

A practical career roadmap for an AI-transformed workplace.

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 more than 50 countries, the book focuses on individual career resilience rather than organizational-level AI strategy or technical implementation.

One Step Ahead with AI addresses concerns about job displacement, reskilling challenges, and the mindset shifts required to thrive alongside AI. Through real-world case studies drawn from AI initiatives across industries, readers gain actionable guidance for integrating AI into daily workflows, developing adaptable skill sets, strengthening data literacy, and differentiating themselves in an AI-transformed labor market.

Each chapter provides structured guidance for professionals navigating reskilling decisions, adopting AI tools in everyday work, and building long-term career resilience through the continuous cycle of learning, unlearning, and relearning.
