AI & Workplace Change
I recently attended Zendesk’s AI summit, where thought leaders explored how AI is transforming the workplace.

Instead, leaders should think like scientists, testing hypotheses and encouraging experimentation. This creates a culture of agility and openness—key ingredients for navigating change.
