The use of artificial intelligence in business has doubled over the past year, with employees reporting an average productivity increase of 33%. However, most organizations have not experienced the expected transformation — productivity is rising at the individual level, but not across entire companies.
According to the Atlassian AI Collaboration Index report:
• Most teams are still overwhelmed with tasks and fragmented across multiple applications.
• AI helps people get work done but hasn’t made collaboration or team connection easier.
• Individual productivity is improving, but systems for shared learning and coordination are still missing.
In other words, AI makes it easier to complete tasks, but it still hasn’t made it easier to work together. Automated email writing, code generation, and document summarization save time, but most teams continue to face the same challenges — overload, siloed work, and a lack of aligned goals.
The research reveals that 96% of organizations have not undergone a major AI-driven transformation — they have not seen significant improvements in efficiency, innovation, or work quality. Only 4% of companies report real, measurable results.
Those companies do three key things differently:
• They build a shared knowledge base accessible to everyone in the organization.
• They implement systems that connect AI with business processes instead of using isolated tools.
• They integrate AI as an active team member rather than just an automation tool.
This approach shows that collective intelligence is more important than individual productivity — true transformation happens when AI becomes a connector, not just an assistant.
