McKinsey's new AI leadership playbook: flatten teams and move faster
"AI has equipped leaders with 'more of a superhuman capacity to manage across bigger scopes, which would allow companies to flatten their structure and get faster in the process.'"
"'Not only is that expensive, but that slows companies down from a decision-making standpoint because it just means you have more people, more layers at which somebody has to weigh in before any decision can get made.'"
"'Your org chart is probably going to start condensing into becoming more flat horizontally,' Eno Reyes, the chief technology officer and cofounder of Factory, said."
AI is transforming consulting firms by enabling leaders to manage larger teams more effectively, potentially flattening organizational structures. Companies have added layers to management, which increases costs and slows decision-making. AI can facilitate quicker decisions and improve connections within organizations. The impact of AI will differ across industries, with applications in life sciences and automation in HR, finance, and legal departments. This trend, referred to as 'The Great Flattening,' suggests a shift towards more horizontal organizational charts.
