AI At Work: Adoption, Friction, and Workforce Redesign

This research examines how organizations are moving from AI experimentation into practical workforce adoption, with a focus on where AI is being used, what is slowing broader deployment, and how leaders are adapting roles, hiring, and management expectations in response. The topic matters because AI is no longer just a technology decision; it is becoming an operating model and workforce design question, shaping how work gets done, what skills are valued, and how companies balance productivity gains with governance, trust, and human judgment.
