McKinsey & Company Says... Big Changes - Prepare for the Future of Work - Dana Maor, Senior Partner

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph Raczynski

Today we focus on AI and jobs, especially with the Journey of Leadership. A new McKinsey survey cites that nearly all employees (91%) report using generative AI in their work and the vast majority are enthusiastic about it. This is a significant change from a survey they conducted six months earlier when 70% of employees self-identified as non-users.

Dana is the global cohead and European leader of McKinsey’s, People & Organizational Performance Practice. She is co-author of the book, The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out

Key findings of the survey include:

1. Nine in 10 employees surveyed believe the tools could positively impact their work experience and most believe gen AI will help with a range of skills, from critical thinking to creativity.

2. Early adopters prioritize the human side of gen AI more than other companies and focus heavily on upskilling and reskilling as a crucial part of their talent strategies.

3. 40% of early adopters say their organizations provide extensive support to encourage employee adoption, compared to 9% of experimenters. In this rapidly changing environment, a human touch can ensure that technology enhances, not diminishes, the workplace experience.
