Work AI leader Glean has launched the Work AI Institute, a first-of-its-kind research initiative - supported by faculty from Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Notre Dame, and others - dedicated to decoding what actually drives results when companies commit to operating with AI at the core of their businesses. As part of that launch, the institute has released a new report, founded by Glean and led by Stanford’s Bob Sutton and organisational psychologist Rebecca Hinds, PhD, which reveals that most failed enterprise AI pilots weren’t technology problems, but instead, coordination problems. In this interview, Rebecca discusses the report’s findings in detail, providing many great insights as to the best approaches for companies to take to ensure successful AI adoption.
