AI can predict. But it cannot decide.
Managers spend 50% of their time analysing data and 50% making decisions. AI can handle the first half—processing massive datasets, spotting trends, and generating insights. But the second half? That’s where human intelligence still reigns supreme.
Imagine a retail company using AI to predict which products will sell best next season. The AI can provide insights, but the final call depends on unpredictable factors—consumer behaviour shifts, competitor strategies, and market sentiment. AI can give you options, but only a smart leader knows which one to take and how to manage the risks with that decision.
What should you do? Train your leaders to use AI as a thought partner, not a decision-maker. Push your teams to challenge AI outputs rather than follow them blindly. AI will give you data. But your ability to make the right call is what will set you apart.
