Eye On A.I. · Real AI Transformation Costs HALF of Everyone's Salary for 2 Years | Chris Blackburn, Liatrio · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

And we try to translate that over directly into software and the digital organizations.

And like I said, we measure them that the average organization that we spend time in is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% to 6% of efficiency.

So that means on the given 40-hour work week, on average, a person is only spending three, three and a half hours a week on value-added activities.

And value-added activities are building the digital product.

And we know inside a lot of organizations, there's a lot of people that do not do the building part of it.

So by default, they have no value time.

And it's not saying they're not valuable, but it's saying their time should be spent on overhead activities that are helping the build time increase and all of that.

Right.

What's crazy about technology and then obviously now in the AI world is it's a two-dimensional view.

So if you look at just the hours in a week that's being spent on value, you could look at those actual hours and say, are they being done with leverage?

Is leverage being applied to them through any type of technology or automation or nowadays AI?

And you could get a 2x, 10x, 100x bump in that individual's time of being spent on the thing.

but you called it out very specifically and you're totally right, is just because an individual's productivity or efficiency increases, does that matter to the system?

And ultimately, does that matter to the bottom line of the organizations?

And I think that's where the huge challenge is at and where we spend a lot of our time truly looking at the end to end.

I think there is a lot of focus today, and I actually think it's rightfully so.

A lot of focus on the individual builder and creation of software, of using AI to improve the efficiency there, but it's bottlenecked by the organization.

The most complex organizations on the planet usually deliver software to production on average monthly at best type of thing.

And that means that you have a lot of stacked up software.

You have a lot of waiting.
