Redefining productivity in the age of AI
As organisations undergo restructuring, introduction of AI tools and remove layers of middle management, they are facing new challenges in maintaining productivity and fostering growth. With reduced budgets and limited training opportunities, businesses must find innovative ways to support their teams while ensuring high performance. This shift requires a re-evaluation of how to build strong, efficient teams without traditional management structures.
