Defining What Matters

Our Managing Partner Hugo Twopeny attended the Leaders for IMPACT Summit in Sydney.

Across conversations about strategy, intentional leadership and the pace of AI adoption, what stayed with us was one question:

How can we place human connection more firmly at the centre of our work?

AI made this question especially tangible.

If part of the promise of AI adoption is that it could free organisations from administrative work and give people more time to be with one another, the challenge becomes how organisations bring the people affected by those decisions into the thinking behind its use.

Rather than automating by default, organisations need to be deliberate.

Staff, clients and communities should understand what AI means to an organisation, what it believes AI is for, where it will be used and what should and will always remain human.

If the ambition is to create more space for thinking about the bigger questions in society, for judgement about what matters to us and each other and for care towards the people we work with, that intention needs to shape how transformation and change are approached.

Important discussions about what business will look like in the future and the role we all play in shaping it.

As AI reshapes how organisations work, the more important question may be not what we can automate, but what we choose to keep human.

The Question

Every question contains a judgement about what matters. The questions institutions choose to ask reveal which priorities policy is prepared to recognise and which remain outside the frame.
