Adapting to the AI Era: How Management Helps Companies Stay Competitive
As a facilitator and technology and
innovation specialist, Wania Konageski sees that Management is the key for companies to adapt to the AI
era and remain competitive. In her opinion, as technology grows exponentially,
it is increasingly important that companies and their employees are prepared
for changes related to both technical and socio-emotional skills. When working
with AI for IT Operations (AIOps), Wania realized that the intelligence in
these solutions can be disruptive, but it is necessary to adjust a
leader’s mindset so that companies can truly benefit from them. In this
article, Wania discusses the disruptive moment we are living in and how it
affects leadership.
Historically, the world has gone through several disruptive
transformations that changed the way we work, like the first Industrial
Revolution that happened in Great Britain. The Management approach was created
based on mass production, where the manager’s role was to monitor and replace
in case of failure. This approach was effective then, but now, with
technology’s evolution, we need a more decentralized and human-centered approach.
When we talk about decentralization, we tend to associate it with agile
management models and, on the technical side, with new web3 technologies like
blockchain. Yet, at its core, is human interaction.
According to the CEO of
OpenAI,
Sam Altman, in an interview with Bloomberg Technology ”repetitive human work
that does not require a deep emotional connection between two people will be
done in the next couple of decades better, cheaper and faster by AI.”
