Important Story: Building the AI-Powered Organization

Exec Summary: This is a little older article, but seems very relevant right now. Artificial intelligence is transforming businesses, but most companies are struggling to scale up their AI efforts. In surveys of thousands of executives and work with hundreds of clients, McKinsey has identified how firms can capture the full AI opportunity. The key is to understand the organizational and cultural barriers AI initiatives face and work to lower them. That means shifting workers away from traditional mindsets, like relying on top-down decision making, which often run counter to those needed for AI. Leaders can also set up AI projects for success by conveying their urgency and benefits; investing heavily in AI education and adoption; and accounting for the company’s AI maturity, business complexity, and innovation pace when deciding how work should be organized. Here are the main points of the article:

• Most companies have only run ad hoc projects or applied AI in just a single business process.

• Companies need to shift workers away from traditional mindsets, like relying on top-down decision making, which often run counter to those needed for AI.

• Leaders can set up AI projects for success by conveying their urgency and benefits; investing heavily in AI education and adoption; and accounting for the company’s AI maturity, business complexity, and innovation pace when deciding how work should be organized.

• AI is reshaping business, but companies need to understand the organizational and cultural barriers AI initiatives face and work to lower them.

The article concludes that AI is reshaping business, but companies need to understand the organizational and cultural barriers AI initiatives face and work to lower them
