Episode Details

BCG surveyed over 7,000 HR leaders and found something that should change how every CHRO thinks about AI: 92% have adopted AI, yet most are seeing thin returns. The reason comes down to a simple rule — 10/20/70 — and almost nobody is spending their energy where it matters most. In this episode, we break down what the 10/20/70 rule actually means, why most HR organizations are over-investing in the 30% that covers algorithms and data infrastructure, and what the CHROs who are winning do completely differently. Spoiler: it's not about finding better technology. With BCG projecting 327% growth in AI agent adoption by 2027, the organizations that move now to redesign how humans and AI work together will build a structural advantage that's almost impossible to close later. Here's what that redesign actually looks like — and the decision framework you can use starting today.
