We are excited to share a new 30-minute executive briefing that breaks down the key insights from Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index Annual Report. If you’re trying to make sense of how AI is reshaping work, this one’s may be worth your time.

Hosted by Microsoft Copilot lead for US healthcare providers on the West coast, Ryan Lennox, and Microsoft Head of Research, Copilot & Future of Work, Alexia Cambon, the session highlights what we learned from surveying 31,000 people across 31 countries. It’s packed with practical takeaways for leaders navigating the shift to AI-powered work.

Here’s a quick look at what stood out:

• AI that thinks: AI isn’t just automating tasks—it’s reasoning, solving problems, and changing how knowledge work gets done. Companies need new playbooks to keep up.


• Human + AI teams: We’re moving from function-based teams to goal-based ones, where AI agents work alongside people to get things done faster and smarter.


• The rise of “frontier firms”: A new wave of companies is pulling ahead by using AI to scale quickly and stay agile. These are the ones to watch over the next few years.

Check out the full video to see how these trends could impact your org—and what you can do about it.
