Outro

If you think AI is just about saving time or cutting headcount, you’re missing its biggest potential. 

In this Quick Win episode, futurist Bob Johansen – a distinguished fellow at the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley – shares why leaders who only see AI as a productivity tool are missing the point. 

Bob explains that the real opportunity lies in using AI to augment how we think: to get unstuck, explore new ideas, and stretch our minds in ways we can’t do alone. 

Bob and I discuss: 

• Why most leaders are stuck using AI for efficiency instead of creativity 

• The mindset shift from artificial intelligence to augmented intelligence 

• Bob’s prediction that almost all leaders will be augmented within ten years – or out of the game 

• How to use AI as a thought partner to challenge your ideas and expand your curiosity 

• Practical ways to start practising this today through conversation, not just prompts 

KEY QUOTES 

“Ten years from now, almost all leaders will be augmented – or you’ll be out of the game.” 
 

 “The story isn’t about computers replacing people. It’s about humans and computers doing things together that have never been done before.”
