Work Rewired: Building Lean, AI-First Teams 

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, startups are facing major shifts in how work gets done — and who does it. Faced with rising pressure to stay lean and competitive, some companies are significantly reducing headcount to adopt an “AI-first” model, trading traditional teams for smaller, more agile groups powered by smart tools and agents.

This session explores the real-world challenges and bold decisions tech leaders are making: from workforce reductions to radically redefined roles, to rethinking who (or what) you hire next. We’ll unpack the rise of tiny teams, share strategies for navigating workforce change with intention, and explore what an efficient, AI-augmented org chart really looks like.
