Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella On How AI Is Transforming Organizations, Teams And Leadership

At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, explains how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping organizations, workflows, and leadership models. 

As AI diffuses across companies and governments, Nadella argues that productivity gains depend not just on technology—but on redesigning workflows, building new skills, and trusting AI with the right guardrails. Drawing from Microsoft’s own experience using Copilot, he describes how AI flattens information flow, inverts traditional hierarchies, and changes how teams collaborate. Nadella highlights why mindset, skills, and high-quality organizational data are essential—and why results won’t be instant without leadership commitment.
