Is the goal of AI to make us faster, or to make us better?

For a long time, the conversation around productivity has been dominated by a single metric: speed. We look for tools that help us write emails faster, summarize meetings faster, and generate code faster. In this framework, AI is essentially a high-powered engine bolted onto an existing car.

But as I explore the shift toward agentic workflows, I am starting to believe that speed is the least interesting thing about this technology.

The real transformation happens when AI changes the nature of the task itself. When an agent doesn't just help you write a report, but identifies the three data anomalies you missed and suggests a strategic pivot, it isn't just saving you time. It is providing a level of synthesis that was previously unavailable.

This is the core of what I call the Orchestration Shift.

In a traditional workflow, the human is the bottleneck for both speed and quality. In an orchestrated workflow, the agent handles the speed, which frees the human to focus entirely on the quality of judgment. The goal isn't to do the same things faster; it's to do entirely different, more valuable things.

We saw this with the evolution of the spreadsheet. It didn't just make accountants faster at math; it allowed them to become financial strategists who could model thousands of "what-if" scenarios in seconds.

The question for leaders is no longer "How much time can AI save us?"

The more important question is: "If time were no longer a constraint, what could our people achieve that they simply can't do today?"

What do you think? Are you using AI to run the same race faster, or are you using it to change the race you're running?
