The AI Productivity Paradox: Faster, Better, Easier or Just Different Work?
Move beyond AI hype and “time saved” metrics and explore how leaders can turn AI tools into real performance uplift, faster, better and easier, without compromising quality.
About this webinar
You’ve probably heard plenty of promises about AI-driven productivity, faster delivery, leaner teams, more done with less. But for many leaders, there’s a growing gap between the hype and the lived reality. Yes, the tools are powerful… but where’s the actual performance uplift?
In this webinar we move beyond “time saved” as the default measure of success and reframe productivity through a faster / better / easier lens. This discussion explored whether AI is genuinely improving performance, or simply changing the shape of work without delivering meaningful impact.
Watch as guest, Ben Chambers, Founder of the Talent Leadership Club and host Glynne Steele, Founder of DoThinkDo also discuss what must change at a leadership level to translate AI tools into performance outcomes, including how leaders role-model effective use, how they support teams in completing real work with AI, and how they supervise the quality of AI output to ensure standards don’t slip as speed increases.
Key points explored:
- Whether AI productivity will fail to live up to expectations
- How to rethink productivity beyond “hours saved” from a realistic fast/better/easier lens
- How to use coaching and human skills to unlock AI’s value across teams
- Practical approaches for supervising AI output quality without slowing teams down
- What successful organisations are doing differently to turn AI tools into performance gains
