AI isn’t the threat; the real danger is flying blind.
Mariia Potupchik is the Founder & CEO of YourSkills. Previously, she led teams at Skyeng, one of Europe’s largest online education platforms—and she learned this firsthand while managing over 100 people. She had dashboards full of data, but on a customer support call, she discovered a woman in a small town learning English to support her disabled child—flagged as a “retention risk” on the dashboard, yet she was the most dedicated learner.
“We were optimizing for averages,” Mariia says. “And averages erase people.”
That tension between scale and individuality is exactly what she’s now solving with YourSkills, an AI-powered platform that makes the invisible visible—mapping what people can actually do, not just what their job title says.
In this #SkinInTheGameWithDebbieGo episode, we explore:
✅ Why 80% of AI pilots fail—not because of the technology, but because of overlooked human factors (training mismatched, best people leaving unseen, AI adoption unsupported).
✅ How YourSkills acts as the intelligence layer to navigate workforce complexity, using behavioral signals instead of self‑reporting.
✅ The future of work: making talent the star, not credentials—shifting from job titles to real capabilities.
If you’re leading a team through the AI transition, stop measuring adoption. Start measuring readiness.
