A few weeks ago I wrote about how traditional management might be changing. Now new data from PwC back this up.
While everyone debates whether AI will replace jobs, companies using AI are seeing some notable results:
3x higher revenue per employee
56% wage premium for workers with AI skills
Skills changing 66% faster in AI roles
Every industry now expanding AI usage
This connects directly to what I shared before about small teams managing AI while focusing on human relationships.
As Ethan Mollick puts it: “It is time to stop pretending that the world isn’t changing, and time to start taking control to get the future we want.”
There’s room to be thoughtful about how we respond.
Here are some ways to stay curious:
Pick one repetitive task and see if AI can help
Notice what you could focus on if routine work took less time
Ask your team what they wish they had more capacity for
The data shows clear trends. How we respond is still up to us.
