In this episode, we’re rounding out our deep dive on organizational AGI with Aaron De Smet, a Senior Partner at McKinsey. Aaron helped identify “The keys to organizational agility” with colleagues back in 2015, which came up frequently as we dug deeper on organizational AGI in S4E1. Organizational AGI is a framework for orchestrating AI agents to make organizations more self-driving. Agility is a key component to making the journey feasible. Aaron connects dots between organizational agility, the longevity of companies, and how they are affected by the technologies associated with AI.
This conversation examines the ways our idea of work is steeped in outdated assumptions and incentives from the industrial revolution, and how companies will have to reshape themselves and realign their priorities in order survive and thrive in this new era. There are also valuable things we can learn from centuries-old Japanese companies like Nokia and Kikkoman.
Don’t miss this deeply practical conversation.
