They found that senior leaders are leaning into AI\u2019s strategic potential, expanding scope, accelerating delivery with leaner teams, and reimagining services. Consultants reported dramatic productivity gains. But middle managers were overloaded with new responsibilities\u2014validating AI outputs, identifying errors, coaching their teams in AI skills\u2014all while facing unchanged or even increased delivery pressure and lacking formal support structures. The research identifies three ways in which the middle layer is failing under the weight of AI adoption and offers strategies to prevent this critical bottleneck from slowing transformation efforts."}
