AI is disrupting how your tech company works.

AI is reshaping all functions within tech companies.

Artificial intelligence can scale efficiency dramatically for companies, especially in the technology sector. However, recent studies are showing that most companies are abandoning early AI efforts. The learning curve is often too steep, and the array of potential solutions can be overwhelming. Most companies don’t know how to adapt to the new AI-led reality, and many are hesitating on staffing decisions while they assess which roles will be required moving forward.

Transitional moments require experienced leaders.

Experienced leaders continue to be critical in transitions, including the current disruption caused by AI. While AI can offer faster, better solutions, it still requires human judgement to be applied appropriately. Leaders of functions like operations, sales, marketing, finance, and product who are also early practitioners of AI are able to pattern-match and cut through the noise.

Fractional leaders can build smarter and faster.

Senior leaders are increasingly asked to be “hands on”, directly evaluating and implementing AI solutions and reshaping functions to meet the new realities. The power of human judgement based on deep experience plus access to powerful efficiency gains via AI mean that the same leaders can accomplish more with less time. In many cases, that is leading companies to structure smaller departments with nimble teams. This increase in demand (for functional expertise) is drawing many leaders into fractional roles, where they can deliver high impact for a function several times over by working across clients. This has a compounding effect when leaders are able to quickly deploy and test AI technology, identifying signal from a cacophony of options.
