As generative AI begins takes hold in business, who does what work and how organizations will be structured will inevitably change, particularly at the leadership and management levels, according to a new survey from Capgemini in which 1,500 managers from 500 organizations and 15 countries participated.
The majority (51%) of respondents believe that decision-making positions will become more niche as a result of the use of generative AI. This will mean that leaders will also need to be experts in various areas such as data analysis, AI strategy, ethical assessment, and risk management.
As a result, 53% of managers surveyed believe generative AI will shift organization structures to become more diamond-shaped, with fewer junior positions and a larger midlevel management layer. Junior roles are expected to decrease from 44% of the organization today to 32% in three years, while middle managers will increase from 44% to 53%.
