儘管AI投資與應用快速成長，許多企業仍難以將投資轉化為更好的決策、更快的執行力與可衡量的回報。研究顯示，88%的企業已在至少一個業務功能中使用AI，但真正從中獲得實質價值的企業仍屬少數，縮小這一落差本質上是領導力與人才的問題。
AI並不必然導致裁員，反而為能力強的人才開創更大的舞台。麥肯錫今年計劃增加20%的顧問招募，並強調具備判斷力、跨域問題解決能力與持續學習意願的人才將在AI時代更具價值。企業若將此視為削減人力的機會，將逐漸萎縮；反之，押注人才者將得以填補並擴大發展空間。
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping businesses across every sector, but the greatest challenge lies not in adopting the technology itself, but in rewiring entire organizations around it. McKinsey's global managing partner Bob Sternfels argues that how corporate leaders respond to this challenge will determine whether AI diminishes or elevates their ambitions.
Despite soaring AI investment and adoption, many companies still struggle to translate spending into better decisions, faster execution, and measurable returns. Research shows 88% of firms use AI in at least one function, yet far fewer realize meaningful value from it—a gap that is fundamentally a leadership and talent problem, not a technology one.
AI does not inevitably reduce headcount; rather, it empowers strong talent to tackle harder problems. McKinsey itself plans a 20% increase in consultant hiring this year, prioritizing judgment, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Companies that treat this moment as a cost-cutting exercise will shrink, while those that invest boldly in talent will thrive and expand.
