Ahmed Assalih is a recognized expert in the HR function and HR information systems. For fifteen years, he has led transformation programmes for CAC 40 groups, public operators and international institutions. His practice focuses on three objects: human capital measurement, governance of AI applied to HR processes, and HRIS architecture redesign. He works as a consultant, conference speaker and executive trainer. The Death of Skills, his first book, proposes an arbitration doctrine for general management facing the collapse of value of classical skills.

Ahmed Assalih is a recognized expert in the HR function and HR information systems. His career began in organisation consulting, where he supported some twenty large groups — banking, energy, public services, pharmaceutical industry — on human capital transformation programmes with high regulatory stakes. He then held executive positions in the HR technology sector, supervising the design and deployment of platforms used by more than one million employees. From 2020 to 2025, on behalf of European and African institutions, he led HRIS modernisation projects in constrained contexts, particularly administrative reform or merger. His practice gradually shifted toward three objects: human capital measurement, governance of AI applied to HR processes, and HRIS architecture redesign. He teaches in several management schools and publishes regularly on the transformation of support functions. The Death of Skills, his first book, proposes an arbitration doctrine for general management facing the collapse of value of classical skills. The book articulates a thesis — the end of operational usefulness of skills mapping — and five ready-to-use operational frameworks.
