- We’re forgetting the most critical system in the AI loop: the human brain
The question I am asked most frequently today is no longer “which AI tools should we deploy?” but “why are our people not performing at the level our technology investment should be enabling?” The numbers tell a story that should concern every C-suite leader and CIO investing in artificial intelligence right now. According to a 2025 MIT study , 95% of enterprise AI pilot programs are failing to deliver measurable financial returns. BCG research puts it plainly: 74% of companies struggle to achieve and scale value from AI. And yet, as an Orgvue analysis from 2026 reveals, 57% of organizations deploying AI are doing so primarily because their competitors are, not because they have a strategy. Read that again. More than half of the organizations racing to deploy AI are running a technology adoption program without a clear reason for it. That is not transformation. That is theater. Investment is accelerating regardless. Deloitte’s 2025 survey of over 1,800 senior executives found that 85% of organizations increased AI investment in the past year, and 91% plan to increase it again. Meanwhile, only 6% of those organizations qualify as genuine high performers, those seeing a 5% or more impact on earnings. The gap between what organizations is spending and what they are getting back is not a technology problem. It never was. The real reason AI initiatives are underperforming The most forward-thinking technology leaders I’ve encountered have already made this shift. They understand that the most significant risk to their technology investment is not a system failure. It’s a human one. AI amplifies what already exists in an organization. If the underlying human system is undisciplined, reactive or misaligned, AI will accelerate those same weaknesses. I’ve seen this pattern repeat consistently. Companies make significant capital investments into AI infrastructure, but invest almost nothing in redesigning how people work, make decisions or learn from failure. The result is sophisticated capabilities layered on top of outdated operating models, broken decision-making cultures and teams that have never been taught to think critically about outputs. Three human behaviors, in particular, derail good technology more than any other. The first is confirmation bias. People use AI to validate what they already believe rather than to genuinely challenge their assumptions. The model becomes a sophisticated mirror rather than a thinking partner. The second is risk aversion disguised as due diligence. Organizations create endless review cycles and approval layers that slow execution to the point where the insight the AI generated is no longer relevant by the time a decision is made. The third, and perhaps the most damaging, is the absence of a failure-forward learning culture. AI systems improve through iteration and feedback. But many organizations still treat failure as something to be managed politically rather than mined for intelligence. When people are incentivized to hide errors rather than learn from them, the feedback loop that makes both humans and AI systems smarter simply breaks down. What does good human infrastructure look like? Here is the question I find most important, and most consistently ignored at the leadership level. AI systems require clean data, disciplined governance and structured feedback loops. What is the human equivalent of that infrastructure? Clean data in a human system is the quality of thinking people bring to their roles. Their ability to observe accurately, reason clearly and separate signal from noise. Most organizations invest nothing in this. Governance on the human side is behavioral discipline. The standards, habits and decision-making frameworks that determine how people operate under pressure, not just in ideal conditions. And the feedback loop equivalent is what I call failure-forward learning . The organizational capacity to extract structured insight from what goes wrong and feed it back into how people and teams operate. When these three elements are absent, you do not have a human operating model. You have a group of individuals hoping that good intentions and expensive software will be enough. Newsflash, they won’t be. The organizations seeing the strongest returns from AI are not necessarily those with the most advanced models. They’re the ones who invested in the human infrastructure around the technology first. Five actions leaders must take now 1. Stop treating AI adoption as a technology deployment. AI is a business transformation that happens to involve technology. The moment a leader frames it as an IT initiative, they have constrained its potential before it has even begun. Framing determines resourcing, sponsorship and accountability. Get it wrong, and everything that follows is compromised. 2. Build structured reflection into the operating rhythm. High-performing teams use short, focused weekly review cycles, rather than lengthy retrospectives. They ask the right questions. What did we learn? What did we assume that proved incorrect? What do we need to adjust? Without this, people repeat the same cognitive errors at increasing speed. 3. Establish decision hygiene. Teams need explicit frameworks for how decisions are made. Make it clear who holds accountability, what information is required and how outcomes are tracked against the reasoning that produced them. AI surfaces decisions faster than ever before. Without decision hygiene, that acceleration becomes a liability. 4. Measure outcomes, not inputs. Too many leadership teams celebrate the number of tools deployed, licenses purchased or training hours completed. None of that is operational value. Operational value is measured in decision quality, execution speed, cost efficiency and competitive differentiation. Hold yourself and your organization to outcome metrics from day one. 5. Model the behaviors you want to see. Intellectual curiosity, comfort with iteration and the willingness to be publicly wrong and publicly learning are not soft cultural aspirations. They are hard operational requirements. A team operating in cognitive overload or fear will corrupt even the most sophisticated AI initiative from the inside. The most critical system in the AI loop In the next three to five years, AI itself will be largely commoditized. The competitive advantage won’t come from simply having the technology, but from the quality of the human system wrapped around it. Every serious organization investing in AI today has people responsible for model performance: Tracking what the system gets wrong, retraining on new data, auditing outputs continuously. That rigor is appropriate. However, in most organizations, the same level of discipline is almost entirely absent when it comes to evaluating and improving the ‘human system’ surrounding the technology. When did you last audit the quality of thinking in your senior team with the same discipline you audit your data? When did you last build a genuine feedback loop around human performance, not an annual review, but a real mechanism for learning and adjusting? For most leaders, the honest answer is rarely, or never. The organizations that will define excellent AI-augmented performance will be those whose leaders understood, at a foundational level, that they were always running two systems simultaneously, and that the performance of one was always a ceiling on the performance of the other. AI will continue to advance at a pace that is difficult to overstate. But the human brain, its capacity for judgment, creativity, ethical reasoning and genuine connection, will remain the most critical system in the loop. Treat it accordingly.

- Why AI won’t cut jobs: A Computer Weekly Downtime upload podcast
A survey conducted by analyst Gartner of 350 respondents in organisations that are more advanced in their use of AI agents and intelligent automation, reported that 80% had seen some degree of job cuts following their implementation of AI. Discussing the survey with Computer Weekly, Gartner distinguished vice president analyst, Helen Poitevin says: “There are job cuts, but if you're getting more ROI (return on investment), you're actually not cutting more jobs.” Poitevin does not believe reducing headcount to fund AI investment is a viable strategy long-term. She says: “The belief is there that if we invest in this technology, we somehow have to make the trade-off by decreasing spend on personnel or decreasing spending on headcount. But what our research shows is while that may help cash balances in the short term, in the long term, the real ROI - those organisations who are getting the most benefit from AI - actually heavily invest in people.” According to Poitevin, such organisations are much more likely to be building new skills, creating roles for orchestrating agents, and more likely to be mapping out career paths for their people moving forward. “What we see is that it's actually short-sighted only thinking about headcount as the form of value instead of thinking much more broadly about value,” she says. Poitevin believes that trying to emulate the tech giants, which are making big job cuts as part of their long-term AI strategy, is not the right approach. “They are going after new forms of value where AI is a core part of their business, and the trade-offs they're making is that they believe it's just about productivity and headcount,” she says. For Poitevin, reducing headcount has a detrimental effect on business in the long run. Some people will argue that AI is taking away junior roles, such as in software develoment, which reduces the opportunity for people to gain job-related experience early on in their careers. Poitevin says: “This is another case of shortsightedness.” Rather than believing that AI will essentially replace these people, she says businesses need to consider what tasks go away, and which ones remains when AI is deployed in certain job roles. For instance, in software development, a measure of success is how quickly can code be produced to deliver the outcome the business requires, If AI accelerates the organisation's ability to get from a problem to a solution, as Poitevin notes, this means the software development team is able to tackle more problems. From an IT leadership perspectibve, she says: “Those who are creatively looking forward to how they build their future with software are definitely doubling down on making sure they have the talent pipeline to enable them to build up junior software engineers so that they go more quickly from the business problem to the software solution. “It's a bit of a Jevons paradox and it'll actually create more demand,” she adds. In other words, the more efficient a business gets at developing the software it needs, the cheaper producing software becomes. "So you get more efficient at solving problems with software, which means there's more demand, and therefore more demand for the people who can do that kind of work,” she adds.
