Something is shifting — and it's not what the headlines would have you believe. Yes, AI is changing everything. But the organizations pulling ahead right now aren't the ones with the biggest technology budgets. They're the ones investing in their people's ability to think, adapt, lead, and reinvent. Here's our latest thinking on what that looks like in practice.
