So building in friction will be the interesting step. Bureaucracy has a purpose! Ha, ha. Silos with purpose--slow down the AI enough to allow human review. Create operational plans with clear gates everyone knows you must go through --hmmm, a bit like how humans operate today but the power comes from information ABOUT those gates. Do they exist? Who controls it? Who do you ask for permission? All those Ws-Who, What, Where, When, Why, How. Terrific reflection on a topic bound to come back up again and again this year.
As someone who can’t stand bureaucracy, it almost feels weird to say it. However, some of the unintended consequences I’m seeing, things getting caught up in red tape may be the only thing saving some situations.
Granted, I’m not suggesting bureaucracy for the sake of it is good, which I know you totally get. I think there’s tremendous opportunity to stop looking at it as an inherently bad thing.
Now is the time to put in place with intention and purpose.
