The 2025 AI Implementation Report – not just another AI report
AI is definitely THE hype topic of 2025. It’s often misused as a buzzword or sales pitch without substance. However, several companies are creating AI projects, achieving significant increases in effectiveness and efficiency. Even the smallest approaches might generate significant added value.
⏩So, what is the current state of affairs?
I got an early look at Philipp Gutheim’s „2025 AI Implementation Report,“ and the section on workforce transformation is eye-opening. Philipp has synthesized insights from 100+ leaders and 25+ talks into this document. It covers the tech, but more importantly, it covers the organizational design required to make the tech work. If you are struggling to get your team on board with new tools, give this a read.
✅Philipp analyzed talks from leaders at Toyota and Renault, and the consensus is clear: The days of passive monitoring are ending. The next phase is about Decision Intelligence systems that proactively flag issues and suggest trade-offs (e.g., cost vs. SLA) before the problem hits the P&L.
✅The insight from Kearney really hit home: we need to stop thinking about employees as users of software, and start training them to be „managers of agents.“ Imagine a structure where every person manages a team of ~20 digital agents handling the repetitive data crunching, allowing the human to focus purely on strategy and exceptions.
✅There is a great case study inside from Microsoft and Colgate-Palmolive about „psychological safety.“ If your teams think AI is there to replace them, the pilot will fail. If they see it as a tool to remove the „boring“ 90% of their job so they can focus on the strategic 10%, adoption skyrockets.
