Hum@ins at Work
What remains after AI?
A cross-sector research programme capturing how senior leaders are navigating the shift to AI-augmented operations across nine business functions and six core themes.
Each interview covers eight questions: three universal questions asked across every function, and five tailored to your specific role. Thirty minutes on Zoom. Questions shared in advance. Limited to 100 interviews across all nine functions for the 2026 report.

Strategy & transformation
Target audience: Transformation directors, chiefs of staff, strategy leads, digital officers and change programme leaders
Strategy and transformation leaders can see what each function is doing with AI, and what no one is doing. The problem is rarely a lack of activity. It is a lack of coherence: pilots in isolation, tools adopted without coordination and no shared view of capability, priority or progress.
Three questions every leader answers
Five questions tailored to your function
- 4
How are you connecting individual AI projects across functions into a direction that leadership can explain and support?
- 5
How are you deciding which functions to address first, and where have the early wins been most credible?
- 6
Beyond counting pilots and licences, how are you measuring whether AI is actually changing how the organisation works?
- 7
What are you doing to prevent AI momentum from fading after the initial wave of enthusiasm, and is it working?
- 8
How are you making the case internally for planned AI adoption rather than letting each function experiment on its own?
