Leaders need to think about the big picture. We're in a momentous, important time of transformation, undoing a lot of system structures and ways people were successful and rewarded in the past. So we need to figure out how to engage leaders and workers in new value creation that they honestly believe in. That's when it works.

Control at Machine Speed

As organizations begin delegating decisions to agentic systems, control can no longer rely on oversight after the fact. Mimi Brooks and returning guest Mike Carroll unpack why traditional governance breaks down, how causality and decision-making logic shift how decisions are made and governed, and what leaders must rethink about architecture, accountability, and enterprise agency in an increasingly autonomous world.
