According to a 2025 global survey by McKinsey, 88% of organizations use AI in at least one business function. ^[1] McKinsey's 2025 survey found that only 6% of organizations are 'high-performing AI organizations' that generate meaningful results. ^[2] McKinsey research analyzing more than 1,000 corporate transformations found that when senior leaders visibly model the behaviors they demand from employees, the transformation has 5.3 times higher probability of success. ^[3] Mauricio Janauskas is a senior partner in McKinsey's Santiago de Chile office and serves as the managing partner for Spanish Latin America. ^[4] Kwak Tae-ho described the shift in required skills as a transition from an era of 'proficiency' to an era of 'judgment'. ^[5] Kwak Tae-ho stated that organizations must redesign reporting systems, meeting methods, and decision-making processes to achieve productivity innovation. ^[6] Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, CEO of Projects & Company, argues that corporate transformations often fail because leaders revert to previous operational rhythms rather than modeling the new behaviors. ^[7] Despite the research findings, only 43% of leaders actually demonstrate the visible modeling of transformation behaviors required from their employees. ^[8] Mauricio Janauskas has more than two decades of experience advising leading organizations across industries including energy, agriculture, infrastructure, logistics, consumer goods, and entertainment. ^[9] Mauricio Janauskas previously served as the leader of the Chile office and the leader of McKinsey's Transformation Practice for Latin America. ^[10] The 'Cancellation Test' is proposed as a method to prove a leadership team can change its mind, requiring them to publicly cancel initiatives that are no longer supported by evidence. ^[11] Mauricio Janauskas holds an MBA from Thunderbird School in the USA. ^[12]
