New white paper on closing the AI fluency gap to support workforce retention published by the University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies

Published

on

By

New paper by Dr. Wayne L. McCoy examines how employers can turn AI skill development into a talent retention strategy.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has published a new white paper, “The Retention Mandate: Bridging the AI Fluency Gap to Secure the 2026 Workforce,” authored by Wayne L. McCoy, DM, MBA, and released through the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR).

The paper examines a growing workplace challenge: employees are rapidly building artificial intelligence skills, while many organizations are still developing the policies, processes and career pathways needed to support AI-enabled work. Drawing on the 2026 Career Optimism Index® study and research on workplace psychology, technology readiness and organizational governance, McCoy argues that AI fluency is no longer only a productivity issue — it is a retention issue.

“Workers are not waiting for organizations to define the future of AI at work,” said McCoy. “Many are already learning, experimenting and building confidence with AI tools. The opportunity for employers is to create the structure around that energy with clear standards, practical training, manager support and career pathways that help employees see a future inside the organization.”

The white paper identifies what McCoy describes as an AI fluency gap: a disconnect between worker skill development and organizational readiness. It notes that employee-led AI learning can create mobility and confidence, but also uncertainty when job descriptions, policies, training systems and manager expectations do not keep pace.

What the white paper addresses

“The Retention Mandate” examines how organizations can better align people, processes, technology and data as AI becomes more embedded in the workplace. The paper highlights several factors shaping AI workforce retention:

Employee-led AI learning and “shadow learning”AI’s impact on productivity, skills development and professional identityPsychological safety and employee trust during AI adoptionGovernance structures for responsible organizational AI useManager capability as a driver of employee confidence and retention

The paper proposes a four-step roadmap for employers seeking to strengthen AI readiness and retain AI-fluent talent:

Define AI career pathways and standardsEstablish skills assessment systemsExpand training, tools and structured enablementBuild AI capability among managers

McCoy’s analysis positions AI adoption as a socio-technical transformation, not simply a technology rollout. The paper encourages organizations to pair AI implementation with clear governance, workforce development and leadership practices that support employee confidence, adaptability and long-term engagement.

SmartEsq Wins LegalTechTalk 2026 LaunchPad Startup Pitch Competition, Recognized as a Leading AI Innovator Transforming Private Funds Law

Published

on

By

SmartEsq, an AI-powered legal technology platform built for private fund formation lawyers, has won the LegalTechTalk 2026 LaunchPad Startup Pitch Competition, beating out hundreds of applicants to be named the top legal technology innovator at one of the industry’s most prominent global events. The company’s platform targets some of the most time-intensive work in private funds law — LPA review, side letter analysis, and MFN management — replacing fragmented, email-driven workflows with AI-powered processes that the company says reduce manual effort by up to 80%. SmartEsq was founded by private equity attorneys and legal technologists with more than 105 years of combined experience in fund formation, artificial intelligence, and data science. The win comes as law firms and legal departments accelerate their move toward specialized AI tools capable of handling the precision and risk standards that complex legal work demands. As the 2026 LaunchPad winner, SmartEsq will return to the main stage at LegalTechTalk 2027 to present before a global audience of legal leaders, investors, and technology decision-makers.

NEW YORK, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SmartEsq, the AI-powered legal technology platform transforming private funds formation workflows, today announced it has been named the winner of the prestigious LegalTechTalk 2026 LaunchPad Startup Pitch Competition, selected by a distinguished panel of legal, technology, and investment leaders as one of the companies shaping the future of legal services.

“Winning the LegalTechTalk LaunchPad validates what we’re building,” said Esther Chiang, CEO of SmartEsq. “Private funds lawyers face immense pressure to manage complex fund terms with absolute precision. We’re purpose-built to help them work faster and smarter without compromising trust.”

The LaunchPad Startup Pitch Competition is among LegalTechTalk’s most competitive programs, spotlighting the next generation of category-defining legal technology companies. From hundreds of global applicants, only 30 startups were selected to pitch live before an elite panel of judges. SmartEsq emerged as the winner based on its innovation, market opportunity, scalability, and compelling vision for applying AI to some of the legal industry’s most complex and high-value workflows.

“Winning the LegalTechTalk LaunchPad is a powerful validation of what we’re building,” said Esther Chiang, Co-Founder and CEO of SmartEsq. “Private funds lawyers are under tremendous pressure to manage increasingly complex fund terms, side letter obligations, and investor requirements while maintaining absolute precision. Generic AI tools weren’t built for this level of complexity. SmartEsq was. We are purpose-built to help legal professionals work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence without compromising accuracy or trust.”

The recognition reflects a broader shift in the legal industry as firms and legal departments move beyond AI experimentation toward specialized, enterprise-ready solutions built around the unique complexity, standards, and risk requirements of legal work. SmartEsq is leading this transformation by applying artificial intelligence to private fund formation—streamlining LPA review, side letter analysis, and MFN management—to reduce manual work by up to 80%, surface critical insights, and enable lawyers to focus on higher-value strategic counsel.

As the 2026 LaunchPad winner, SmartEsq will return to the main stage at LegalTechTalk 2027, providing an opportunity to showcase its continued innovation before a global audience of legal leaders, investors, and technology decision-makers.
