Issue Coordinating teams of humans, agents, robots and enhanced individuals
Summary
This issue deals with leading teams whose members are no longer only people. EY observes that fast progress in integrating humans and AI has widened the gap between early adopters and traditional organizations. Because the technology curve is accelerating exponentially, even firms that try to speed up can still fall behind. Teams now mix people, AI agents, robotic systems and possibly augmented individuals with differing cognitive and physical abilities. Leaders must coordinate these hybrid groups and make sure every component serves shared goals. EY frames this as part of a leadership playbook that is being rewritten in real time.
