Ahmed Assalih is one of the most recognised French-speaking practitioners in HR transformation and HR information systems. For two decades, he has led critical HRIS programmes, payroll recovery operations, and cloud migrations for CAC 40 groups, leading pharmaceutical companies, and large-scale retail organisations.
His distinctive contribution rests on a rare double anchoring: he masters the operational constraints of a complex HRIS programme and he can restate their strategic implications to an executive committee. This twin viewpoint nourishes his teaching, his public interventions and the doctrine that structures The Death of Skills.
He regularly intervenes in specialised HR-strategy masters, advises executive committees on their AI-HR roadmaps, and supports HR-platform vendors in the design of their use cases. His public positions on European regulation, the ethics of HR copilots and the measurement of value produced by AI are relayed by the trade press and several international conferences.
The Death of Skills consolidates fifteen years of practice, clinical observation and peer debate. The book proposes an operational grammar where the existing literature most often confines itself to a conceptual one.
Ahmed Assalih lives between Paris and abroad, working closely with his clients and the professional HR organisations of which he is an active member.
