Generative and agentic AI has fundamentally changed the relationship between people and knowledge. Today, answers are instantly accessible — but the value of those answers depends entirely on the quality of the questions we ask, and the judgment we bring to evaluating what comes back. The defining human capability in this environment is no longer the ability to retrieve information. It is the ability to think critically, ask better questions, and make sound judgments in the face of AI-generated content where fluency and confidence are no guarantee of accuracy.
To ask better questions, you need perspective — built through lived experience and through reading. “Read to Lead” is a joint initiative by KPMG and NLB to bring reading into the workplace and to build this capability at a national scale.
