Most conversations about technology and work focus on tasks: which jobs will be automated, which skills will matter and what humans will still do. But a growing class of technologies is changing something deeper: how organisations coordinate work, allocate decisions, monitor performance and use managerial authority.
In this TECH TALK, INSEAD Professor Phanish Puranam will be joined by his co-authors Piyush Gulati, Assistant Professor, UCL School of Management and Arianna Marchetti, Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Singapore Management University, to discuss the idea of OrgTech: technologies that change how organisations divide work, coordinate teams, allocate decisions, monitor performance and resolve exceptions.
Drawing on their research into collaborative work management tools such as Jira, Asana and Smartsheet, the discussion will explore how technology can reshape hierarchy, reduce the need for supervision and shift the balance between centralization and decentralization.
The discussion will also explore what this means for AI, managers and the future of organisation design. For leaders, the key question is not only which tasks technology can automate, but what kind of organisation technology helps create.
