Two-thirds of organizations report AI productivity gains. So why is transformation stalling? Because efficiency and transformation are not the same thing — and most leaders can't tell which one they're actually getting.

In Episode 5 of Idea Express, K.C. Barr unpacks the hidden trap inside AI's early wins: that getting faster at existing work is not the same as redesigning what work you do. Drawing from Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise — a survey of over three thousand leaders across twenty-four countries — this episode gives you three practical steps to audit your AI investments honestly, identify where you've automated the old model instead of building a new one, and ask the one question that should precede every future AI investment decision. K.C.'s take cuts through the noise: the organizations that fall furthest behind aren't the slow adopters — they're the ones that moved fast on the wrong question.
