Welcome back!

Monday’s got a new energy; Execs are quietly hiring AI whisperers behind the scenes to stay ahead of disruption. Meanwhile, a new wave of productivity stats could finally make the 4-day workweek more than just a startup dream. Plus, AI is coming for Wall Street’s spreadsheets.

Why Every CEO Needs an AI Whisperer

CEOs are hunting for strategic interpreters who can help them navigate the AI age without crashing the company into an iceberg of hype.

Elite execs are quietly bringing in “AI whisperers”. Not to write code, but to guide decision-making, decipher vendor promises, and help separate signal from synthetic noise.

Why enterprises should care:
This shift signals a massive culture change focused on translating use case to value. And that’s good news if you’ve been wondering how to get buy-in from leadership for more thoughtful AI integration.

Here’s what’s happening:

• “AI whisperers” often come from non-technical backgrounds consultants, ex-VCs, or industry veterans).

• Their value lies in being able to bridge strategy and implementation, especially as businesses claims to be “AI-first.”

• Companies like SoftBank and McKinsey are already embedding these advisors in C-suites.

Bottom line:
If you’re not appointing (or becoming) an AI whisperer, someone else will do it better and faster. Expect this role to become as ubiquitous as “Chief Digital Officer” was in the 2010s.

What to Watch: The 4-Day Workweek’s AI-Powered Revival

The old debate: Does less time mean less output? But now there’s a new player in the mix that might change our answers: artificial intelligence.

Axios digs into the fresh data showing AI tools are boosting productivity so significantly that a four-day workweek may finally make financial sense, not just mental-health sense.

Here’s what to keep your eye on:

• New studies show that AI can reduce “low-value” tasks by up to 35%, freeing teams to focus on what actually moves the needle.

• Companies piloting AI + 4-day weeks are seeing increased retention, faster turnaround, and (gasp) happier clients.

• Critics say it only works for AI-mature orgs, but proponents argue it’s how you get mature.

Enterprise takeaway:
The ROI of your AI tools might not just be in revenue. It could be in reclaiming time and unlocking the future of work for your top talent.
