SHOCKING REPORT: Your CEO is LYING about AI. While executives waste BILLIONS chasing shiny tech, the REAL reason your company is failing is a DYSFUNCTIONAL HUMAN CULTURE they REFUSE to fix. A bombshell exposé reveals that South African leaders are driving their firms off a cliff, blinded by AI hype and crippled by their own incompetence.
Insiders Anton Hingeston and Bruce Turvey of Change Logic deliver a BRUTAL wake-up call: leaders are “OVERESTIMATING AI and UNDERESTIMATING the work.” In a desperate race to appear innovative, bosses are “putting AI on top of WOBBLY FOUNDATIONS,” ignoring crumbling core systems in HR and finance. This isn’t strategy—it’s CORPORATE SUICIDE.
The consultants expose a HARSH TRUTH: knowledge is now free, generated by AI in seconds. The billion-rand consulting industry is built on a FRAUD, selling PowerPoints that change NOTHING. The real differentiator? EXECUTION. Yet most organizations are paralyzed, their teams “misapplying technology” in a panic while core business burns.
Worst of all, they reveal customer experience as the looming APOCALYPSE. Digitisation is just a “ticket to the game.” If you’re not obsessed with CX, you are ALREADY DEAD. Meanwhile, leadership is a JOKE—”reactive” executives merely pay “lip service to change” while their employees drown in confusion.
The final VERTIGO-INDUCING revelation? The tech you need ALREADY EXISTS. The multi-million-rand software graveyard in your company proves it. The ONLY barrier to success is the BROKEN, RESISTANT HUMAN BEHAVIOR your leaders are too WEAK to confront. They are buying robots while their office culture is a CAVEMAN-era disaster.
This isn’t just a prediction for 2026; it’s an indictment of modern leadership. The question isn’t if AI will replace jobs, but if our utterly FAILED executives will be the first to go. The chilling reality is that the machine is ready, but the man is not.
