# Ericsson

**Ericsson** (Swedish telecommunications) treats reskilling as a core part of its **employee value proposition**. As part of its digital transformation, Ericsson developed a **multiyear strategy defining critical skills connected to strategy**, transforming telecommunications experts into **AI and data-science experts**.

The initiative is **reviewed quarterly by executives as part of OKRs**, and in just **three years Ericsson upskilled over 15,000 employees in AI and automation**. It is a lead exemplar of paradigm one ("Reskilling Is a Strategic Imperative") within [[framework-five-paradigms]].
