The AI Transformation 100: 100 Concrete Ideas for Fixing How We Work

100+ leaders, technologists and researchers share how they turn AI from hype into sustained advantage, with concrete practices you can actually adapt to your organization

We’ve been fed enough “future-of-work” fairy tales. The reality? In too many offices, AI is just another tool to manage, adding more “administrative sludge” to an already overflowing plate. It’s time for a gut-check. Developed by Glean and the Work AI Institute, this report is a collection of honest ideas from leaders and researchers who are actually doing the work, taking the risks and learning the hard lessons. What you’ll learn that just might improve how you lead and work:
  • How to operationalize AI with ownership and guardrails, ensuring agents improve real workflows week over week instead of fueling digital exhaustion
  • Patterns to align teams on data and governance to avoid the “AI tax” of fragmented tools and redundant efforts
  • Strategies to move from proofs-of-concept to production, using evaluation rhythms and adoption tactics that actually stick
