BCG argues that AI is evolving faster than how most organizations plan for their people. Work, roles, skills, and team structures all must shift: AI will handle execution, human roles must focus on design, oversight, and higher-order thinking. Companies typically fall into one of four archetypes (Scaler, Horizon Builder, Streamliner, Reinventor), each needing different strategies. The authors urge leaders to assess their AI maturity, redesign roles and team models, and deploy workforce transformation proactively rather than let technology outpace their people.
