Nicosia, Cyprus. Businesses are struggling to bridge a large “execution gap” as they race to integrate artificial intelligence into the workplace, according to a new report from Deloitte. The findings were circulated locally by Deloitte Cyprus, focusing on how organisations on the island can adapt to rapid AI-driven workplace transformation.
Report release and focus
The findings were included in Deloitte’s annual Global Human Capital Trends report, released on Thursday. The report examined how organisations can seek a competitive edge by building what it described as the human advantage in a new era of work.
Pressure to redesign work and strengthen trust
The report said organisations face increasing pressure to become more agile, redesign work models, strengthen trust, and align workplace culture with AI integration. It described adaptability as a new change advantage.
Leaders cite adaptability but report limited progress
According to the report, 85 per cent of leaders said it is critical to build organisational and workforce adaptability at speed. However, only 7 per cent of leaders said they believe they are currently leading in helping their workforce continuously grow and adapt.
Work design and human-AI collaboration
The report said work design is critical to achieving returns on AI investment and that organisations integrating human and machine collaboration are positioned for long-term success. It also found that only 6 per cent of leaders reported making progress in designing effective human-AI interactions.
Workplace culture and technological change
AI is also challenging workplace culture, the report said, with 65 per cent of organisations believing their culture must change significantly to keep pace with technological transformation.
How is your organisation addressing workforce adaptability and work design as AI is introduced into the workplace?
