Artificial intelligence isn't just changing what we do as business leaders – it's transforming who we can become when we leverage these tools strategically. In this provocative conversation with Patrick, a leading AI expert from BCG, we explore how professionals across industries can build their personal AI organization to dramatically increase their impact.

Most discussions about AI focus on efficiency, but Patrick reveals a deeper opportunity: the chance to reshape your entire role around what you do best. By thoughtfully distributing tasks between yourself and AI assistants, you can focus on the aspects of your work that truly energize you while automating the rest. This isn't about replacing yourself – it's about becoming an entrepreneur within your organization who builds and manages a team of digital collaborators.

The path to this transformation begins with structure. Since AI systems originate from the highly organized environments of software development, creating similar organization in your work makes these tools dramatically more effective. Simple practices like documenting your thought processes, maintaining structured folders, and recording your lessons learned create the foundation for AI to understand your needs and preferences over time.

Perhaps most revolutionary is how AI changes the distribution of responsibility within organizations. Patrick advocates moving from assigning KPIs to distributing genuine ownership of outcomes. When team members have stakes in results rather than just tasks, they're motivated to build AI systems that create true value. This shift requires leaders to become coaches who help their teams navigate expanded responsibilities and leverage new capabilities effectively.

For industries with high quality standards like German automotive manufacturing or management consulting, the challenge becomes balancing the speed of ”80% solutions” with the need for excellence. Creating processes that support rapid iteration after initial AI output represents a new paradigm that many organizations are still learning to navigate.

Whether you're in marketing, R&D, or finance, the future belongs to those who can leverage abundant intelligence to pursue their goals faster. Start building your AI team today, and discover what's possible when you focus on what truly matters in your work.
