“AI Is Turning Traditional Corporate Org Charts Upside Down” is the headline in the The Wall Street Journal article and was a key theme and topic of discussion at the Accenture HealthTech Innovation Challenge last week. We asked and explored - how might we design people and tech powered organizations to drive value? #HealthTechChallenge

Progress doesn’t just happen — it’s built by those who dare to challenge the system. For centuries, technology has redefined how we live and work. But every leap forward comes with a choice: adapt boldly or risk stagnation. The future of innovation depends not only on new tools like AI — but on how courageously we evolve our systems, leadership, and mindset. 🔗 https://mck.co/3JgzuC4 #beBOLD #BOLDLeaders #BOLDAwards #Innovation #FutureOfWork Anja Huber Kersten Heineke Martin Kellner Timo Möller McKinsey & Company

⚠️ If You’re Approving GenAI Investments for 2026 — The Odds Are Not in Your Favor According to the 2025 GenAI Divide study from MIT and Project NANDA 👉 Despite $30–40 billion in enterprise investment into GenAI, 95% of organizations are getting zero return. The research analyzed over 300 public AI initiatives and conducted in-depth interviews across industries. The conclusion? Most organizations struggle to move beyond experimentation. At LNS Research, we’ve long highlighted this same pattern in what we call the Transformation Chasm: 📉 Many industrial companies start strong with pilots, but few reach the embed stage — where AI is integrated into decision-making and daily execution. One key reason? 🧩 The teams leading AI pilots often don’t have the mandate or influence to reshape how work gets done. That responsibility — and the opportunity — lies with operational leadership. If AI is going to truly impact productivity, quality, safety, or margin, it has to be embedded in a scalable operating model: Aligned KPIs Frontline integration Clear decision ownership Executive sponsorship from operations This is exactly the conversation we’ll be advancing at the upcoming Industrial Transformation Executive Event in Chicago. We’re hosting several focused executive sessions: 🔹 Overcome Org Debt with Decision Intelligence 🔹 Harness Industrial AI for Operational Excellence 🔹 3 Industrial AI Insight Sessions This is your opportunity to engage with the thought leaders James Wells Vivek Murugesan Niels Erik Andersen Allison Kuhn Michael Carroll Sara Clark Grant Ecker Mike Tomasco David R. Brousell David Levy If you're planning transformation in 2026 and want to be among the 5% of leaders who scale AI effectively, this is the conversation to be part of. #IndustrialAI #OperationalExcellence

Just wrapped up the Digital Innovation Summit in Atlanta — a powerful reminder that innovation isn’t just about speed or technology, it’s about intentional alignment with strategy, people, and purpose. Key takeaways: 💡 AI must serve business outcomes, not just experimentation. 🤝 Innovation thrives in ecosystems, not silos. ⚙️ Operational excellence and bold innovation go hand in hand. 🌟 Human judgment, empathy, and leadership remain the ultimate differentiators.

In self-storage, automation handles the tasks, people handle the trust. The future belongs to those who know how to use AI to strengthen, not replace, the human experience. I’m honored to join industry peers at the Texas Self Storage Association (TSSA) 2025 Big Ideas in Storage Conference in #Austin, where we’ll explore The Next-Gen Site Manager: Where AI and Automation Meet the Human Touch. As technology reshapes our operations, the question isn’t whether AI will change our work, it already has. The question is how we, as leaders, will design systems that keep humans at the center of it. I’m looking forward to sharing insights on how people and technology can evolve together to create smarter, more connected workplaces. #TXSSA #SelfStorage #OspreyManagment #bigideas25 #Leadership #AI #HumanCenteredLeadership #peoplefirst

𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐛. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩- 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞. The September 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞® 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐚 brought together leaders from organizations across industries to discuss how they are embedding innovation, re-thinking legacy operating models, and navigating the realities of AI. A few themes stood out: 🔹 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲.It’s a tool - one that delivers value only when grounded in real business problems, strong data, and measurable outcomes. 🔹 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫-𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. It’s a discipline embedded in how teams think, decide, and build. 🔹 𝐌𝐕𝐏𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.The challenge isn’t starting - it’s scaling what works and connecting innovation with the core business. 🔹 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. Especially now, it’s our job to create safe environments where people can try, fail, learn - and build what’s next. Here are a few questions I encourage every company to ask: • Do we trust our teams enough to let them experiment? • Do we give them space to fail - or are we just running timelines? • Do we have systems that can scale what works? • Or are we still reinventing the wheel every time something succeeds? • Do we treat AI as a buzzword - or as a tool that delivers value only when we define the real problem? • Do we treat data as an asset - or a side effect? Because structured data are becoming the true operational gold. And yes… every good innovation team still needs a kitchen (preferably an IKEA one). Two pizzas max. (You had to be there to catch that one 🍕).

In today’s AI-driven healthcare landscape, digital literacy is no longer optional—it’s an executive imperative. While financial acumen and legal foresight remain vital in the boardroom, strategic fluency in digital innovation, particularly AI, is now equally critical. CEOs must champion educational initiatives that equip board members with a clear understanding of how AI impacts clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, and ethical responsibilities. This isn’t just about understanding the technology—it’s about shaping its role responsibly. From predictive diagnostics to global care equity, AI presents immense opportunity—but only if guided by human-centered leadership. Forward-thinking boards are bringing in AI advisors, hosting technology briefings, and embedding ethical AI as a governance priority. The question isn’t whether we adapt, but how fast and how wisely. Is your board ready to lead in the age of intelligent care? #AIinHealthcare #EthicalAI #Leadership #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfCare
