The Impact of AI on Ways of Working
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have a great impact on the ways people work and collaborate and on how they organize themselves. On this page, we collect our thoughts and findings regarding the impact of AI on versatile organizations.
Last month, we conducted a survey titled “Agile Is Not Dying; It's Dissolving—What Now?” In this survey, we asked three questions: What is now the main concern or interest of higher management? What happens with budgets that were previously spent on Agile? What is the next big thing worth talking about, after Agile?
While AI can supply us with boundless knowledge, human wisdom, and morality will delineate the boundaries of AI’s role in our lives.
Artificial Intelligence is not a simplistic solution to our workload woes. It will raise the standards for everyone and necessitates a commitment to learning and adaptability.
Stop making products; start crafting experiences. These days, it’s about creating cohesive and personalized user journeys. The role of AI in shaping these user experiences will be pivotal.
As AI becomes more sophisticated, tasks that were once the domain of middle managers will be easily delegated and automated. The middle management role will continue to change, necessitating continuous learning, adaptability, and a renewed focus on human-centric leadership skills.
Tight-knit, static teams might become looser, with AI copilots taking over specialist jobs in projects and humans roaming more freely across products where they can make meaningful contributions.
As AI gets better at digital tasks, we should focus on what makes us unique as humans. Emotional connection, creativity, and physical skills are more critical than ever.
The new organizational focus should be on teams filled with M-skilled (cross-functional) people who can connect the dots between multiple disciplines.
“I visualise a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I’m rooting for the machines.”
