AI made every person on your team faster. It may have made your team slower.

Most organisations have rolled out AI one individual at a time, and measured success by how many people use it well. Recent research that surveyed more than a thousand desk workers across over twenty industries found the cost of that approach. The more people went to AI instead of a colleague, the more their team's coordination and trust seemed to erode. Where this had become the norm, teams reported more than a fifth lower coordination and trust.

The researchers call it relationslipping, and it has two costs:

✗ A cognitive cost: the team loses track of who knows what, because colleagues' thinking becomes harder to see
✗ A trust cost: people second-guess and re-check each other, and the ones who feel replaced feel more isolated

→ The fix is not less AI. It is deciding that a conversation with a colleague is part of the work, not a step AI gets to skip. 🧭🔍⚙️

We help you build teams in which AI strengthens the way people work together.

If everyone can buy the same AI, where does your advantage come from?

By the mid-1990s, any company could build a website. The ones that built lasting advantage were not the ones that had a website. They were the ones that rebuilt how the business worked around it. Recent research makes the same argument about AI: the models are available to everyone, so the model itself cannot be your advantage.

What can be is what you build around it:

→ Your own data. A general model is trained on public information, so it is generic by definition. In the research, one financial firm grounded an AI assistant in more than 100,000 of its own research documents and reached 98% adoption among its advisers.
→ Your own processes. When AI is built into a workflow only you run, it becomes a capability that is hard to see from outside and harder to copy.
→ Your people's habits. Adoption at that scale came from making daily work clearly better inside tools people already used. Find the decision process where your people feel the pain, rebuild it with AI, and make it the default. Culture follows usefulness.

Companies that treat AI as a commodity to buy will find it raises the bar for everyone without setting them apart. Those that treat it as a platform for their own capabilities will find the advantage compounds. 🧭⚙️🎯

We help you build the leadership and the culture that turn the same technology into your own advantage.

At Business Saga, we don’t do business as usual, and this week proved it three times.

In Engineering for Futures You Can’t Predict, we stopped guessing the future and started rehearsing it. Five steps took the room from “what if” to “what now”, and to one idea worth keeping: forecast runs today’s work, foresight protects tomorrow’s.

In Negotiation – Science or Art?, the room split right away. That’s how we knew it was a good question. By the end, most people agreed it takes both: preparation gives you the numbers, and reading the room tells you what to do with them.

In Building the Mindset for a Successful Transformation, half the room brought the vision and half brought the constraints. The best ideas came from the conversation between them, because change rarely stalls for lack of will. It stalls on habits, rules and approval steps that nobody has questioned in years.

Three rooms, three topics, one lesson underneath. Teams don’t change by being told. They change by practising together.

Thank you to everyone who brought their questions, their doubts and their best arguments into the room.

Which of the three would your team need first?

You didn't pick the best strategy. You picked the best of three.

Think about your last strategy offsite. Weeks of preparation, a facilitator, two days of debate, and three or four options on the table at the end. The real question is whether those were the only good options, or simply all your team had the time and attention to explore.

Recent research is clear that the limit was never a shortage of ideas. It was the capacity of human minds to generate and weigh them, and it shaped even the frameworks we rely on. They are simple because a team had to draw them on a whiteboard in a few hours.

AI removes much of that limit. In one documented case, an AI scouting system surfaced more than 500 acquisition targets in under a day and narrowed them to 15 serious leads. The machine did the search. The judgement on the short list stayed with people.

What changes for a leadership team:

✗ Debating the three or four options the room had the capacity to handle
→ Asking AI for a far longer list first, and applying your judgement to the short list, not the long one

✗ A strategy tested by whoever speaks loudest or ranks highest
→ A decision that has already faced one AI arguing against it and another playing your competitor

AI doesn't make the decision. It changes how many options reach the table and how hard they are tested before they do. It is the logic of scenario planning applied to every major choice: explore more before you commit. The questions that remain are the ones only leaders can answer: what do we believe, what are we willing to risk, and what kind of company do we want to become. 📊🧭🎯

We help you lead strategy conversations that start with more options and end with a better decision.

That's why you work with Business Saga.

At Business Saga, we don’t do business as usual. Not even when we talk about decisions.

On October 1st, we swapped the boardroom for a rooftop in Bucharest. We brought together a small group of leaders, some good drinks, a great view, and one question: What IF we made decisions differently?

The theme of the evening was Humagilionic Decision Making. Put simply, good decisions start with people, stay flexible along the way, and are made for the long run, not just for the next quarter.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. The next What IF… evening is already on its way.

When was the last time you made a big decision outside the office?

Many leaders expect that using AI in team meetings will lift the quality of discussion. Recent research found something less comfortable. Over five months, 60 managers from 12 companies worked with AI on a real business challenge, and in the first session the initial excitement faded within the first hour. Teams went quiet, watched the screen, and engagement dropped.

The research traced it to three habits:

✗ Treating AI as an individual chat — so it answers as if one person is asking, not a whole team
✗ Giving it one fixed role — usually researcher or expert, and never the sceptic or the customer
✗ Brief, transactional requests — which steer the conversation before the team has aligned

The fix was not better technology. It was a different way of working:

→ Introduce the team and its roles to AI, as you would to a new colleague
→ Switch its roles during the discussion — challenger, customer, competitor
→ Pause to debate and judge its output before prompting again

After the second session, average engagement rose by 30%, and two-thirds of participants said their conversations and alignment improved. Three out of five said collective judgement reduced the usual risk of trusting AI too much.

This doesn't happen on its own. It has to be built into how the meeting runs. 🧭🔍⚙️

We help you design how your teams work with AI, not just give them access to it.

Most executives assume the hard part of AI agents is the technology. Recent research points somewhere else: the hard part is managing the work around it. Companies that organise people carefully and then deploy agents with none of the same structure are skipping the basics.

Six practices turn deployment into onboarding:

→ Give every agent a job description — what it is responsible for, what it isn't, and when it must ask for approval
→ Evaluate it on a regular cycle — clear performance measures, applied to agents just as they are to people
→ Give it a human supervisor — someone accountable for how it is trained and how it works with colleagues
→ Start it as an intern — let it earn permanent status only after it proves it can do the job
→ Give it a name — so people remember it is a teammate, and their sense of responsibility for the outcome doesn't fade
→ Design it around real pain points — hand it the dull, repetitive work so colleagues have a reason to adopt it

If that sounds like onboarding a new colleague, that's the point. The companies that apply the management habits they already trust will move faster than the ones inventing new ones. 🎯⚙️🔍

We help you build the onboarding plan for your digital colleagues.

Tomorrow's manager runs two teams, and only one of them is human.

Many executives still treat AI agents as a technology question. The harder question is who manages them. At Salesforce, AI agents already resolve nearly three in four inbound support cases, and a person is accountable for how that digital team performs: monitoring it, correcting it, and deciding which cases go back to a human colleague.

That is a leadership role, not an IT task. It sits where business judgement meets the way work actually gets done, and organisations that place it entirely inside the technology department tend to end up with agents that work technically and fail strategically.

The first decision is therefore about people, not tools: who in your organisation already answers for service quality and customer outcomes, and can take this on.

It also changes what you measure. Counting calls handled per day made sense when people took every call. Once an agent takes the routine volume, only the outcome means anything.

✗ Measuring activity: calls handled, tasks completed
→ Measuring outcomes: how well people and agents together serve the customer

The researchers expect "agent manager" to be a standard job title within 12 to 18 months in companies built around AI. The leaders who define the role now will choose who fills it. The ones who wait will find it filled by default. 🔍🧭⚙️

We help you lead teams where people and AI agents work side by side.

Every team has a winning hand. Most just never lay their cards on the table.

Today, in workshop 3 of Building a High-Performance Culture, we did exactly that. Literally. 🃏

Each leader picked the cards that show how they think and where they get their energy. Some lead with facts and analysis. Some with ideas. Some with plans and action. Some with people.

No card is the best card. What matters is how the hand gets played.

Then we turned the hand into strategy: ambitions became concrete initiatives with clear owners, tested against one simple question. Does every part of the business hold, or does the idea fail in delivery?

Before leaving, everyone played one card: a personal commitment, said out loud in front of the team. 🎯

Strategy is decided at the table. Performance is decided by who plays which card, and when.

Building teams that play to their strengths is what we do at Business Saga.

Which card does your team keep in its pocket? 👇

An AI agent doesn't just answer questions. It acts. It updates records, sends payments, changes customer data. A chatbot can give a bad answer. An agent can take a bad action.

The technology is often ahead of the organisation. Agents can act long before companies are comfortable letting them, and recent research on scaling AI agents explains why. It names four frictions, and each one is a management problem, not a technology problem:

✗ Identity — nobody can say which agent took an action, because agents often share one broad account
✗ Context — the agent acts on an outdated policy document
✗ Control — AI doesn't answer the same way every time, so rules can't assume predictable behaviour
✗ Accountability — nobody owns what the agent did, or can trace why it did it

A support representative is stopped at a refund limit. An agent working through a shared account may not be. And an HR agent using a policy that was replaced years ago hasn't invented anything. It has retrieved the wrong version of the truth.

→ Treat every agent like a new hire: a defined role, a limit on what it can approve, a source of truth it can rely on, and a named person answerable for it.

That last part matters most. A 2024 tribunal decision held an airline responsible for wrong information its own chatbot gave a customer. Regulators, auditors, and customers will ask the same thing of your business, and they will expect a name. 🧭⚙️📊

We help you build the role, the limits, and the ownership before the agent goes live.
