Re-Humanize: Rethinking Leadership and Organizations in the Age of AI

What happens to leadership, collaboration and human potential when AI becomes part of almost every decision we make?

AI is fundamentally changing how organizations operate. It is transforming decision-making, reshaping jobs and challenging traditional ways of organizing people and work.

But while organizations invest heavily in technology, a critical question remains: Are we designing a future where people and AI work better together – or simply one where machines do more?

The challenge for leaders is no longer just how to implement AI. It is how to rethink organizations to unlock the full potential of both human and artificial intelligence.

Join INSEAD Professor Phanish Puranam for an Executive Masterclass inspired by his book Re-Humanize.

Drawing on his research into organizational design, collaboration and the interaction between humans and AI, Phanish Puranam challenges leaders to reconsider some of their most fundamental assumptions about how organizations should work.

As AI takes on more analytical, operational and decision-making tasks, leaders must make new choices about what should be automated, what should remain human and how to design organizations that deliver both performance and meaningful work.

What will we explore?

• The human advantage in an AI-driven world: What makes human intelligence, judgment and collaboration essential – even as AI capabilities advance?
• Redesigning organizations for humans and AI: How should we rethink roles, responsibilities, decision-making and collaboration?
• Leadership beyond automation: How can leaders use AI to enhance rather than diminish human capabilities, motivation and autonomy?
• Performance and purpose: Can organizations become more efficient and more human at the same time?

Why attend?

This masterclass goes beyond the usual conversation about AI adoption and technological disruption.

It offers senior executives a fresh perspective on one of the most important leadership challenges of our time: How to build organizations that benefit from AI without losing what makes people and organizations thrive.

Expect thought-provoking insights, new perspectives and practical reflections on the choices leaders must make as they shape the future of their organizations.

The future of work is not just about artificial intelligence. It is about how intelligently we organize human potential.
