We're NOT going back to the basement

When AI becomes your most available teammate, it's tempting to believe we no longer need other people that much. You might even be hoping for fewer meetings, fewer dependencies, more individual autonomy. But what happens in reality? At Publink we have been experimenting with AI-assisted microteams in the area of product development in a highly regulated GovTech environment. In this talk I'll share how it affected: discovery, delivery, knowledge sharing and business outcomes. This isn't a futuristic thought experiment, it's a practical case study of how AI is already reshaping operating models. But it comes at a cost that we have also discovered along the way.
