Augment by Center for Global Innovation and Leadership Development is a podcast exploring how organizations, leaders, and cultures are evolving in the age of AI. Each week, we dive deep into the human side of technological transformation, examining how the most successful organizations are reshaping leadership, culture, and organizational design for an AI-driven future.
This isn't just about implementing AI tools. It's about fundamentally rethinking how we lead, build culture, and create organizations that thrive alongside artificial intelligence.
Through candid conversations with CEOs, organizational leaders, and culture architects, we explore the critical questions:
How do leaders adapt their approach when AI changes everything?
What does organizational culture look like when humans and AI collaborate?
How do we build resilient, adaptive organizations for an uncertain future?
What we feature:
Leadership strategies for navigating AI transformation
Cultural shifts required for human-AI collaboration
Organizational redesign for the AI era
Case studies of companies successfully evolving their culture
Frameworks for building AI-ready leadership capabilities
The psychology of change in technology-driven organizations
Augment is your strategic guide to leading organizations and shaping culture in the age of AI — where human wisdom and artificial intelligence create unprecedented possibilities.
