Our Mission: Helping One Million People Future-Proof Their Careers

We call it our BHAG - Big Hairy Audacious Goal!

At Kerzie Consulting, we've set an ambitious goal: to help one million people future-proof their careers through our training programs, AI-powered applications, and consulting services. This isn't just a business objective—it's our response to the most significant workplace transformation in over a century.

The data is clear, and the timeline is accelerating. But instead of leaving people to navigate this change alone, we're building the bridge to help them not just survive, but thrive in the AI-powered workplace of tomorrow.

The Three Phases of Change (And Why You Need to Act Now)

Recent research from McKinsey, the World Economic Forum, and real-world examples from companies like Shopify, IBM, and Klarna reveal that AI's impact on employment is unfolding in three predictable phases:

Phase I: The End of "To Be Hired" (Happening Now)

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke made headlines in April 2025 with his internal memo requiring employees to "prove that AI cannot do a job" before any new position can be approved. This isn't an isolated case—LinkedIn surveys show 60% of executives plan to use AI for entry-level work, and entry-level job postings have declined 35% since January 2023.

What this means for you: The competition for new positions is intensifying. Those with AI skills have a massive advantage.

Phase II: Department Rightsizing (Beginning Now)

Companies like Klarna have replaced 700 customer service workers with a single AI chatbot—a 700:1 replacement ratio that demonstrates AI's leverage multiplier effect. IBM is replacing 7,800 back-office roles with AI, and BT plans to eliminate 55,000 positions by decade's end.

What this means for you: When departments downsize, the survivors will be those who use AI to multiply their productivity and value.

Phase III: Workflow Transformation (On the Horizon)

Emerging platforms like Proactor represent the future of agentic AI—systems that can manage entire business functions with minimal human oversight. Unlike traditional automation's 1:1 replacement, AI agents can work 24/7, be instantly replicated, and handle exponentially more volume.

What this means for you: The professionals who thrive will be those who learn to orchestrate AI systems, not compete with them.

Why We're Here to Help

These changes aren't happening gradually—they're accelerating. McKinsey research shows that 30% of current work hours could be automated by 2030, with 12 million Americans needing to transition to new occupations. The World Economic Forum predicts 92 million jobs will be displaced while 170 million new ones are created.

But here's what the statistics don't capture: every number represents a person with goals, responsibilities, and dreams. Our mission is to ensure that as many people as possible are positioned on the winning side of this transformation.

Our Approach: Empowerment Through Education

At Kerzie Consulting, we don't believe in trying to integrate AI into outdated systems. We believe in integrating AI into people. Our methodology is simple but powerful:

1. Assess Where You Are We start with an AI readiness assessment to understand your current skills and identify the biggest opportunities for growth.

2. Target Your Pain Points We work backwards from your specific challenges and bottlenecks to identify where AI can have the most immediate impact on your productivity and value.

3. Train for Real-World Application Our hands-on training programs teach you to use AI tools to solve your actual work problems, delivering immediate results while building long-term capabilities.

4. Build Your AI-Powered Future We help you become the professional who doesn't just use AI, but orchestrates it—making you indispensable in any organization.

The Multiplier Effect of Our Mission

Our goal of helping one million people isn't just about individual success—it's about creating a ripple effect. Every person we train becomes an AI-powered professional who can:

  • Produce higher-quality work in less time

  • Take on challenges that were previously impossible

  • Become a mentor and multiplier for their teams

  • Drive innovation and growth in their organizations

When we help one million people future-proof their careers, we're not just changing individual lives—we're helping to shape a future where humans and AI work together to create unprecedented value.

Your Next Step

The three phases of AI transformation are unfolding whether you're prepared or not. The question is: will you be ready?

We're here to help you become one of them.
