Human Machine Culture: Why the Real Challenge Is Not AI but How We Work Together
As AI quietly enters everyday work, teams are adapting faster than leadership narratives can follow. Decisions increasingly happen outside formal processes, and tools like AI are often used without being openly discussed. This creates a growing gap between how work is officially described and how it actually happens.
