The Future Of Less Work · 2026-07-21 · 38 min
How can leaders see what AI is actually doing inside their organization? If employees are using AI every day, why can't leaders see where work is changing, what value AI is creating, or how work is actually getting done? In this episode of The Future of Less Work , host Nirit Cohen sits down with Lexi Reese, Founder and CEO of Lanai , to explore why organizations have systems for managing people but almost none for managing AI work. Together, they discuss why AI should be treated as operating labor rather than just another software tool, why measuring prompts and licenses tells leaders almost nothing about business impact, and how organizations can gain visibility into the work AI is already performing across the business. They also explore how companies can identify the employees quietly transforming workflows, why AI forces leaders to rethink accountability and performance, and why the future of work will depend less on execution and more on human judgment. Whether you're leading AI adoption, measuring AI ROI, or trying to understand how work itself is changing, this conversation offers a new way to think about managing organizations in the age of AI.
