This interesting Deloitte report is framed around AI for HR, but the lessons are applicable across organizations, and support the broader issue of transformation to a Humans + AI organization.
The report is definitely worth a look, perhaps especially the Appendix. Below sharing a few of the distilled highlights.
š Multi-agent systems (MAS) are the next-gen operating model.
In the next 12ā18 months, expect a shift from siloed APIs to MAS that can reason, plan, and act across business unitsāenabling autonomous execution with governance and āhuman in the loopā oversight.
š HumanāAI collaboration boosts decision-making capacity.
AI can instantly synthesize vast datasets into contextual, role-specific insights, allowing executives and managers to make better, faster, and more informed decisions across the enterprise.
š” Workforce roles are redesigned, not just replaced.
Agentic AI shifts roles across the boardāfrom purely executional to more analytical, creative, and relationship-focused workāimpacting job design in marketing, operations, R&D, and beyond.
š AI standardizes excellence across the enterprise.
By codifying best practices into AI systems, organizations can eliminate āpockets of excellenceā and ensure consistent quality across all teams and regionsānot just in HR but in sales, operations, and service delivery.
š Predictive intervention beats reactive problem-solving.
AI can detect signalsālike turnover risk, performance decline, or customer churnābefore they become problems. This enables leaders to act early with targeted, data-backed interventions.
š Orchestration of multi-step, cross-functional workflows.
Agentic AI can coordinate tasks across multiple business functions without manual handoffsāe.g., onboarding a new employee touches HR, IT, facilities, and finance, yet AI can plan, execute, and monitor the entire process end-to-end.
šŗ AIās biggest impact areas are mapped.
A āheatmapā of hundreds of HR processes pinpoints where AI should be fully powered (e.g., data analysis, reporting, inquiries), augmented (e.g., recruiting, performance reviews), or assistiveāhelping leaders invest for maximum ROI.
š 80%+ of admin work can be automated.
In future HR operations, AI will handle over 80% of administrative and operational tasks, freeing HR teams to focus on strategy, workforce planning, and proactive talent interventions. | 14 comments on LinkedIn
