The role of AI in management - Darko Butina
Jack Dorsey (Block) and Roelof Botha (Sequoia Capital) seem to think so. Their latest piece, “From hierarchy to intelligence” (link in comments), resonates with a shift the team has been tracking since 2023 — that AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a structural reset for business, driving complete transformation in how organizations think, decide, and grow. Now it’s time to go from theory to action. They are hosting an interactive workshop to unpack what “from hierarchy to intelligence” means in practice — how leaders can evolve structures, strategies, and mindsets to thrive in the AI era.Join them to explore the next step: executing AI transformation, not just observing it.
