    As per a report by Deloitte on Global Human Capital trends of 2026, a human-centric focus can help organizations jump the curve.

    As per the report, Organizations used to gain a competitive edge mainly by adopting new technologies, but technology alone is no longer enough because it can be easily replicated. The future of competitive advantage will come from strengthening the human edge - creativity, adaptability, and judgment.
    This report has insights on:
    1) how to maximize value of humans and machines working together
    2) how do we know what is true about people and work
    3) who is accountable when both humans and AI are making decisions
    4) how is culture shifting when intelligent machines are part of the workforce
    For me, the last two points are most intriguing. 
    I think decision making and culture shift are both areas that need intentional design, else they can morph into something completely unrecognizable and unmanageable. What do you think?

    I completely agree that intentional design will become critical in an AI-enabled workplace. Most corporate cultures evolved naturally over time through incentives, norms, and leadership behaviors. However, taking a passive "let it evolve" approach with AI could be risky because AI can influence decisions, behaviors, and even organizational norms at a much faster pace than traditional cultural change.

    I agree Izz. AI can enhance decisions, but culture and human judgment remain the foundation. Being intentional about both will make the biggest difference as workplaces continue to evolve.
