Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu has highlighted the transformative impact of AI on organizational structures, suggesting that AI will disrupt more than just skills. In a social media post, Shen Yu argued that traditional business management has relied on standard operating procedures (SOPs) to make employees function like cogs. However, with the advent of AI agents, he believes that forcing AI into these outdated processes will lead to failure. Instead, Shen Yu advocates for restructuring processes around AI workflows, where humans set goals and boundaries, and AI agents optimize autonomously. Shen Yu envisions a future where departmental silos collapse, cross-department collaboration becomes instantaneous, and the role of middle management diminishes. He suggests that the next generation of enterprises will move beyond digitized SOPs to an Agent framework based on intent and dynamic workflows. This shift is exemplified by Block, Jack Dorsey's Bitcoin payment company, which is reportedly laying off 4,000 employees as it pivots towards AI-driven productivity.
