Rethinking organizational design in the age of agentic AI | MIT Technology Review

MIT just published a piece on "agentic AI" reshaping how companies are built from the ground up.

Sounds exciting. Also sounds like exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to close the tab.

You're not wrong to feel that way.

You bought the tool. Paid the monthly fee. Watched it sit unused while your team worked around it. That's not a you problem — that's what happens when AI gets sold as a product instead of implemented as a solution.

Here's what the MIT research is actually pointing to, stripped of the jargon:

The businesses winning with AI right now aren't buying bigger tools. They're finding one repetitive task — something their team does the same way every week — and letting AI handle that specific thing consistently.

Not a platform overhaul. Not a new org chart. One task. Done better. Done automatically.

That's the proof of concept that changes everything internally. When your team sees it work once, they stop resisting and start suggesting the next one.

This week, ask your team: "What's the one thing you do every week that feels like a waste of your time?" That answer is your starting point — not a software catalog.

What's the AI tool your business bought that nobody actually uses?
