Our world is evolving immeasurably. Having the right leadership has never been more crucial. Welcome to ‘Where Leadership Matters,’ a podcast series that dives into pivotal career moments and high-stakes decisions across diverse industries.
Episode 7 | Beyond Functions: How AI is Transforming Organizations
Rupert Lion, Partner in Odgers' Technology Practice and Head of Scale Up Collective at Odgers US, sits down with Deborah Kops, global business services and governance leader, to explore how AI is reshaping organizational design, work, and capabilities.
The conversation delves into the evolving role of corporate functions, the distinction between skills and capabilities, and the potential for AI to act as a force multiplier rather than just a productivity tool. Deborah and Rupert discuss the future of operating models, the disintermediation of traditional workflows, and the transformation of consulting, employment structures, and corporate boards in an AI-driven world. They also examine the cultural and strategic challenges organizations face in adopting AI, from trust and speed of change to the need for more fluid and outcome-oriented workforce models.
This episode offers a provocative look at how AI could fundamentally change the way organizations operate, drive outcomes, and rethink the relationship between people, work, and enterprise.
