AI Intensifies Work and Multiplies Risk According to HBR's 2026 Governance Research
Why AI Moves the Work, Not the Weight, and What Governance-First Organisations Do DifferentlyBy LadyinTechverse
Length51m
About this audiobook
HBR's February 2026 research confirmed what operations teams already knew but could not say out loud. AI does not reduce work. It redistributes it into places most organisations were never prepared to govern, audit, or resource properly.
This audiobook unpacks the real cost of naive automation, from shadow AI running silently across compliance-sensitive workflows to paper-based back offices sitting underneath digital transformation announcements written for shareholders who never go backstage.
Drawing on first-hand observations inside a major Singapore supermarket chain's back office, HBR research and Gartner frameworks, this is a direct, honest conversation about what governance-first deployment actually looks like when the vendor demo is long over and the audit trail questions start.
For founders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, COOs, CMOs, and anyone deploying AI into real business environments where mistakes compound fast and trust takes years to rebuild.
