AI is no longer just a tool—it’s a force reshaping team structures, capabilities, and the economics of delivery. But many organizations are still using operating models built for a pre-AI world: rigid, siloed, and centered on outdated outsourcing assumptions.

- Are you deploying the right mix of internal and external capabilities?
- Can your teams integrate AI into their workflows—not just tools?
