About

Nita Sukdeo is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, workforce development, and emerging technologies within the South African context. Her scholarship has made significant contributions to understanding how organizations — particularly in the banking and construction sectors — navigate the transformative challenges posed by AI and robotics integration. Sukdeo's most influential work examines how artificial intelligence reshapes workforce performance and productivity in South African banking institutions, a paper that has garnered 19 citations and established her as a key voice in technology adoption research. Complementing this, her work on workforce re-skilling (12 citations) offers practical frameworks for helping banking professionals adapt to AI-driven environments, emphasizing opportunity rather than displacement. More recently, she has expanded her scope into the construction sector, exploring how robotics integration intersects with organizational culture and quality management practices. What distinguishes Sukdeo's research is its applied, region-specific focus — she consistently grounds theoretical frameworks in real South African institutional contexts, making her findings directly actionable for policymakers, business leaders, and educators. Her growing body of work positions her as an important contributor to conversations about responsible technology adoption and human capital development across emerging economies.
