The future of work won’t be transformed by technology alone, it will be transformed by people. ⭐
Earlier this week, we partnered with The Atlantic to co-host "Beyond Pilots: How Organizations Can Turn AI Into Real Results" — a summit dedicated to one question: how do we move beyond isolated AI experiments to achieve truly scalable enterprise impact?
🔹 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. AI doesn’t fail because the models aren’t powerful — it fails when organizations don’t address human concerns, change management, and cross-functional alignment.
🔹 𝗔𝗜 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁. Tools must fit real workflows, data ecosystems, permissions, and cross-functional processes — not just demos.
🔹 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. Continuous learning, proper human handoff, and process redesign will define the next era.
🔹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 ≠ 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. Individual gains don’t matter unless they translate into better team coordination, less AI slop, and measurable organizational outcomes.
🔹 𝗢𝗿𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴. Flexible, cross-functional structures (HR + IT, distributed authority) will become essential as AI becomes embedded in every workflow.
🔹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Employees who start to treat AI as a coworker, not just a tool, see meaningfully higher productivity. In order for that to happen, AI must deeply understand your—and your organization’s—work.
