2026，如何留在“牌桌”上？

Core Viewpoint - The core issue for enterprise management in 2026 will be "workforce productivity," shifting focus from growth to efficiency as investors no longer support "cost-agnostic growth" [5]. Group 1: AI Reshaping Work - By 2026, AI will transition from being a tool to becoming a digital employee, fundamentally altering knowledge work and enhancing human capabilities rather than merely replacing them [8][11]. - McKinsey reports that the adoption rate of generative AI in enterprises surged from 33% to 65% in just one year, with predictions that by 2030, 30% of work hours could be automated [8][11]. Group 2: Compliance as a Survival Line - Compliance will become a critical filter for business survival, as companies relying on non-compliant practices will be deemed outdated and at risk of being eliminated [12][13]. - The pressure for compliance will force business leaders to address internal efficiency issues, such as excessive meetings and redundant approvals, which consume employee time [14][15]. Group 3: From Cost Reduction to Empowerment - The focus will shift from "cost-cutting" to "empowerment-driven efficiency," emphasizing the need for management to view employees as investments rather than costs [16][21]. - Empowerment will involve enhancing time management, skills, and motivation, transforming management from a monitoring role to one that fosters excellence [22][27]. Group 4: The Great Elimination of Middle Management - By 2026, AI is expected to lead to the elimination of over half of existing middle management positions as organizations flatten their structures [24][26]. - The value of traditional management roles will diminish as AI takes over routine tasks, prompting a reevaluation of management's role in driving productivity [26][28]. Group 5: Global Operations and Efficiency - As Chinese companies increasingly expand overseas, the focus will shift to enhancing operational efficiency in global markets, requiring a unified approach to management across different regions [29][30]. - Compliance with local labor laws and cultural expectations will be essential for maintaining a competitive edge in international markets [32]. Group 6: The Five Transformations - The five key transformations—AI disruption, compliance pressure, management quality improvement, organizational streamlining, and global operations—will collectively redefine workforce productivity as a core organizational capability for the future [33].
