How do companies successfully implement AI across the organization? How do you redesign jobs with AI? In this episode of The Future of Less Work , host Nirit Cohen sits down with Karalee Close, Global Lead of Talent & Organization at Accenture , to explore how AI is changing organizational design. Together, they discuss why work is replacing jobs as the building block of organizations, how AI is reshaping leadership, learning, and internal talent mobility, and why companies need to redesign workflows instead of simply automating existing roles.

Whether you're leading AI transformation, rethinking organizational design, or preparing your workforce for what's next, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for building organizations that can continuously adapt in the age of AI. Guest Information: Karalee Close is Accenture’s Global Lead for the Talent & Organization practice and a member of the company’s Global Management Committee.
