HBR Guide to Generative AI for Teams
Insights from the Harvard Business Review’s Guide to Generative AI for Teams on improving collaboration, meetings and decision-making
Generative AI has quickly become part of everyday work. But while adoption is now widespread, many organizations still use it in a narrow way: one person, one screen, one task. The bigger question is what happens when AI moves from individual productivity into meetings, workshops and decisions where teams create value together.
This is the question Elisa Farri and Gabriele Rosani from The Management Lab by Capgemini Invent have been exploring through research and experiments with teams across industries and functions. Their findings are brought together in their new book, HBR Guide to Generative AI for Teams, published by Harvard Business Review Press.
Their research points to an important distinction: giving individuals access to AI does not automatically create better teamwork. The bigger opportunity lies in understanding how AI can become part of the way teams think, collaborate and make decisions – and what this requires from the managers leading them.
On this webinar, Elisa and Gabriele will share insights from their research and experiments and translate them into practical approaches for team leaders, managers driving AI transformation and facilitators of collaborative work.
On this webinar, we will explore:
- Why individual AI adoption is only part of the story, and what changes when AI enters the team
- How generative AI can support collective thinking, collaboration and better decision-making
- Where AI can strengthen teamwork, and where it may get in the way
- The changing role of the manager in human and AI collaboration
- Practical ways to integrate AI into everyday team workflows
- How teams can experiment with new ways of working while maintaining human judgement and collective responsibility
Rather than focusing on the latest AI tools, this session looks at something more fundamental: how the way we work together may need to change when AI becomes part of the process.
