Peter Drucker popularized the phrase "Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things."
Being a credibly efficient at doing the wrong things, turns out to be a massive issue inside of most companies. What's interesting is I do think that AI gives opportunity to be massively more effective because if you have the right LLM, that's trained right, you can explore a variety of scenarios much faster than what you can do by yourself. However, we hear very little about this as a central thrust of how to utilize AI into the work space.
In my experience plenty of places are quite inefficient at doing the wrong things as well. You might think this reduces the number of wrong things done, but somehow it doesn't.
