12、from proof of concept to real scale and,therefore,larger returns.More than half(65%)of executives we surveyed say they themselves lack the technological expertise required to lead gen AI/AI transformations.1 Furthermore,theres a significant trust gap brewing between leaders and workers.For instance,
13、most employers(63%)3 say skills gaps are a major barrier to business transformation,but most workers(82%)1 believe they grasp the technology and 94%are confident1 they can develop the skills needed.To fully unlock the potential of gen AI,the C-suite must also grapple with a bigger set of questions.W

32、of ideas,insights and content,by contrast,remained strictly the domain of humans.Gen AI upends this paradigm by facilitating unprecedented,fluid collaboration between technology and humans.This can even include guiding humans to execute intelligence-requiring activities.According to Vegard Kolbjrnsr

37、 gen AI agent,or a group of gen AI agents collaborating with one another to collect insights for their“human partner”to help enhance decision making.Second,organizations need to form and nurture a new connective intelligence tissue:a network of interactions that connects humans and gen AI agents,all

48、skills.A reimagined approach to learning and development will foster dynamism in jobs and associated skills.Gen AI is already dramatically impacting the traditional currency of skills.The time it takes for a skill to lose one-half of its value(its“half-life”)is shrinking at an increasing pace.This p

55、ni,CEO Cambridge International Group Ltd.15Reinvention ready Reinventing enterprise models in the age of generative AIIn the context of future jobs and talent,many debate if“generalists”or“specialists”will become obsolete with the rise of AI-augmented work.We believe that both will remain essential,
56、as organizations will require a high degree of ambidexterity:expanding the possibilities of gen AI,while cultivating uniquely human expertise in specialized domains.For example,some employees will become highly proficient in selecting fit-for-purpose LLMs,setting up systems to train and continuously
57、 update the models and pre-training gen AI agents.Others,augmented by AI agents,will exercise deep domain expertise to create better products and services.One thing is clear:Whether one is a“generalist”or a“specialist,”the ability to fuse human and machine skills will be essential.“Marketing organiz

59、t sauce lay in the ability to put together gen AI capabilities(models,data,marketing stack)that enabled marketing specialists to exercise the human craft.The CMO ensured that both capabilities were brought in-house:“We can do so much more and faster ourselves now.We also did not want to leak what is

61、ssential to support employees and foster dynamic skills and roles at both individual and organizational levels.People will receive real-time feedback and information on their performance,skill relevance and learning opportunities,moving away from the traditional,infrequent assessments conducted by m
62、anagers or HR that commonly led to the prescribed curricula from static content.Even the more recent trend toward democratized,on-demand self-service learning falls short of what will be required because it lacks personalized guidance tailored to an individuals role,context and learning preferences.
63、Here,a personal gen AI learning agent can be an invaluable companion.Aware of an employees changing role,experience and ambition,the agent could proactively suggest upskilling/reskilling paths that are highly tailored to the individuals professional goals,needs and unique learning preferences.“Trans
64、forming performance management with gen AI at Accenture”Like many companies,Accenture believes that continuous feedback is critical to quality performance management and individual development,but it lacked high-quality,regular feedback.By developing its gen AI-enabled Feedback Coach,Accenture super
65、charged the regularity and quality of employee feedback by providing suggested phrases and sentences directly in Microsoft Teams and Workday,based on input from the writer.After much success with this Feedback Coach,Accenture expanded it to support employees in writing self-reflections in an objecti
66、ve way,with clarity and relevance.Results have been impressive:an 89%increase in completed feedback,95%of writers saved time and 76%of receivers rated the feedback quality as good or excellent.Dynamic skillsTo enable this new way of learning,the Learning&Development(L&D)function will look completely
67、 different.Its focus will shift from pre-configured learning programs and content to providing gen AI learning companions and LLMs trained on internal and external skill learning content that is closely and continuously aligned to the changing nature of work and required jobs.Additionally,the L&D fu
68、nction will be responsible for nurturing continuous and pervasive learning by embedding it holistically into the job roles.This requires close collaboration between business and HR leaders,and we expect the L&D function to gain prominence within the C-suite,following a similar trajectory as IT and d
69、igital functions when they became integral to business strategy.The ability to dynamically evolve ones skills for the task at hand(and longer-term strategic goals)will enable people to work across disciplines and functions,which is a catalyst in dissolving the traditional boundaries within organizat
70、ions.Leaders must cultivate“human fluency”the ability to adapt talent and practices to maximize the potential of technology.The human side of AI is critical,starting with leadership and cascading through every level of the organization.With 57%of employees wanting greater clarity on what gen AI mean
71、s for their careers1,its essential for leaders to prioritize transparency,training and open dialogue to guide their people through this transformation.17Reinvention ready Reinventing enterprise models in the age of generative AIFluid boundaries18Reinvention ready Reinventing enterprise models in the

73、the age of generative AIFluid boundariesKey insights:Workflows will transcend traditional organizational boundaries as gen AI automates routine work and augments human activities.Transparency will increase exponentially,with gen AI helping to quickly disseminate information and insights across organ
74、izational siloes.Working across disciplines will be easier as the base level of expertise becomes more accessible through well-synthesized information by gen AI.Many organizational and operating model constructs will be completely reshaped:C-suites will be de-siloed,functions will compress in size a
75、nd converge,CoEs will evolve into capability-building teams and the boundary between tech and business will become translucent.As gen AI automates more routine work across end-to-end processes,humans will focus on more fulfilling,strategic work,such as highly creative tasks or resolving exceptions i
76、n AI-automated workflows.Such work will,by definition,transcend traditional organizational boundaries and require people,augmented by gen AI,to work together in new ways and in more cross-functional teams.Furthermore,transparency will radically increase as gen AI eases and accelerates the flow of in
77、formation and insights across the organization,including geographies,time zones,languages and regulatory jurisdictions.This will further challenge and reshape the boundaries of traditional hierarchies in which resources and information are tightly orchestrated through managerial layers in siloes.Fin
78、ally,the base level of expertise can be lessened as specialists across disciplinesfor example,R&D,marketing and salescan work together in ways that were previously more challenging.This is driven by the ease of interacting with gen AI to quickly access a synthesis of information and rich insights ac
79、ross disparate and unstructured information sources.To deepen our understanding of these trends,lets examine the ramifications of fluid boundaries on select organizational and operating model constructs,starting at the top.C-suites are the pinnacle of information aggregation and,ultimately,decision-
80、making.Yet,organizational siloes often originate at the top,cascading downward as business units and functional divisions are structured around various power dynamics that include information flows.Imagine instead,a de-siloed C-suite where a gen AI agent can provide holistic visibility across the or
81、ganization in just a single prompt.C-suite leaders could ask questions and instantly gain insights into any part of the business without needing to be deep experts in those areas.20For example,a chief marketing officer at a life sciences company might quickly inquire about emerging clinical trial ou
82、tcomes to proactively plan a future marketing campaign for a particular drug.The orientation of such a C-suite could pivot from managing mostly in siloes to identifying critical company-wide issues and forming sub-teams to solve them.A leaders deep domain and functional expertise would still be requ
83、ired to make decisions and run the organization.However,some domain expertise could become more easily interchangeable among leaders skilled in using gen AI agents.A multinational financial services organization is already experimenting with this idea by temporarily swapping C-suite roles,for exampl
84、e,asking its CIO to become its CHRO and vice versa.Fluid boundariesCorporate functions will also look different as gen AI takes on many traditional tasks.These departments will be leaner and staffed by employees who are adept at fusing their specialized skills with gen AI capabilities.This allows fo
85、r the essential cross-functional collaboration needed to achieve business objectives.Consider the potential for Go-to-Market,HR,Learning&Development,Risk and Strategy functions to jointly make real-time AI-supported decisions about the shape,skills and size of the companys sales workforce,considerin
86、g new offerings,emerging competitive dynamics and changing regulatory or political environment.Likewise,CoEsa long-standing bastion of enterprise centralizationwill undergo a fundamental shift and take the form of Capability Building Teams(CBTs)that will extensively use gen AI technologies.The CBT m
87、ission will be to form and facilitate multi-disciplinary teams focused on specific challenges,including the pre-training and onboarding of gen AI agents for a challenge at hand.CBTs will also aggregate and distribute ideas,insights and best practices by embedding such knowledge into proprietary larg

89、ing business outcomes.By leveraging gen AI and a unified cloud platform,the company has dismantled traditional silos between procurement,customer service and sustainability teams.This integration allows real-time collaboration,aligning inventory decisions with customer demand insights while simultan
90、eously tracking sustainability impacts.The result is greater agility,improved customer satisfaction and a stronger commitment to sustainabilitydemonstrating how gen AI can enable fluid and adaptive collaboration across corporate functions.21Reinvention ready Reinventing enterprise models in the age
91、of generative AIThe boundary between business and technology will continue to erode and become increasingly translucent.The natural language interface of gen AI tools will make this boundary largely irrelevant,allowing people without specialized tech skills to to easily query and interact with data,
92、synthesize information and generate insightsa trend that will only continue to accelerate.This will allow organizations to seamlessly embed technology into workflows without the need for extensive technology development projects.While the IT/Tech function will remain essential,its focus will be buil
93、ding and managing scalable,company-wide infrastructure and platforms.Lastly,the ecosystems of partners will increasingly experience the fluidity of evolving boundaries among them.Many products and assets,both digital and physical,are already enriched with data and information from multiple sources.G
94、en AI will further enhance these products with intelligence,driving deeper process and data integration across ecosystem boundaries in secure,regulatory-compliant ways.Consider a modern car already equipped with navigation,streaming services and soon,autonomous driving capabilities.The power of gen
95、AI holds a lot of promise to create the fluidity across boundaries,but its not sufficient.As we have learned with other technological waves,it takes human intent,resolve and stamina to transform the ways we work,collaborate and organize.“Improve customer service by embedding gen AI into customer ser

115、hundreds of AI agents.Similarly,hours worked will lose significance as AI agents perform tasks with minimal human oversight.Reinvention on the riseFor senior business leaders looking to propel their companies into a future dominated by AI and advanced technologies,investing in GCCs offers a clear pa
