Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology of the future – it’s a reality that already affects business competitiveness, innovation potential, and work efficiency. Companies worldwide are striving to integrate AI into their processes but often face uncertainty: where to start, what skills to develop, and who in the company should learn what. To implement AI meaningfully and sustainably, a systematic approach is needed — one that covers strategic vision, concrete projects, and daily workflow optimization. The LIFT initiative offers exactly this structure: AI training is divided into three levels – strategic, tactical, and operational. This approach helps companies choose the most suitable path for AI adoption, considering the company’s size, development stage, and employees’ roles.
