AI and manager productivity: myth or reality?

In a professional environment that is constantly accelerating, artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a promise of time saving and efficiency. Between virtual assistants, task automation and decision-making tools, executives and senior managers are increasingly being asked to adopt these solutions. But does AI really improve managerial productivity? Or is it just a myth that has been well marketed by technology?

When artificial intelligence enters the daily lives of executives

From automatic meeting scheduling to email drafting, report generation and strategic monitoring, AI-based tools are becoming increasingly widespread. ChatGPT, Notion AI, Copilot or even Fireflies are transforming the daily work of managers.
Their promise? Reduce repetitive tasks and free up time for strategic decision-making.

However, this transition is not a given. While some leaders have successfully integrated AI into their organisations, others are still struggling to see the concrete benefits. The effectiveness of these tools depends above all on their use, the clarity of objectives and the level of competence of users.

AI: a driver of productivity... provided it is properly managed

Recent studies show that adopting artificial intelligence does not automatically lead to productivity gains. On the contrary, misuse can slow down processes or create new mental burdens.
The most common mistake? Thinking that AI replaces human thinking.
In reality, she enhances analytical, prioritisation and communication skills, provided you know how to use it wisely.

Thus, the leaders who truly benefit from AI are those who have developed a strong digital culture and were able to adapt their work organisation. AI then becomes a true performance partner, not just another gadget.

Training executives in artificial intelligence: a strategic challenge

This is where the training comes into play. Understanding the potential of AI, identifying the right tools, learning how to configure them and integrate them into one's professional workflow have become key skills for modern leadership.
