What if the real barrier to AI success in your organization is not the technology — it is how you lead it?

In this Insight On episode, host Rob Green sits down with Ethan Mollick, author of Co-Intelligence, to examine the hard truths about AI adoption in the enterprise. They unpack why individual productivity gains can be significant while organizational results lag — and what leaders can do differently today.

You will hear Ethan's take on the jagged frontier of AI capabilities, why co-intelligence beats replacement, and how cyborg and centaur models of work are already changing how teams operate. The conversation gets into security, ROI, and the organizational structures that either support or limit real outcomes.

If you are making technology decisions that affect people, budgets, and outcomes, this is a conversation you cannot afford to sit out.
