Your playbook to leading in the age of AI:
There is no more work without AI
In two years, digital workers will outnumber humans.
Are you ready?
Digital workers are here. Time to lead the shift.
Digital workers are changing how work gets done. Capturing that opportunity requires a shift in how organisations lead, operate, and create value.
Most organisations are still experimenting: running pilots, testing use cases, and automating individual tasks. Real impact comes from rethinking work, leadership, and the role of the workforce.
To help you navigate this shift, we have created the There is no more work without AI playbook.
It highlights seven key themes shaping the disruption ahead, translates them into four clear priorities for the leadership agenda, and offers practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
To turn insight into action, the playbook includes the AI Value Canvas – a hands-on tool to help you make clear, deliberate choices about how your organisation creates value in this new reality.
Download the playbook and the AI Value Canvas, and learn how to lead when digital workers become part of your workforce.

Ready to unlock the full value of a digital workforce?
A new kind of leadership challenge
AI agents are no longer isolated pilots. They are becoming a significant part of the workforce.
We see this clearly in our work with more than 350 Nordic and European organisations. Across industries, the direction is the same: digital workers are scaling fast and starting to reshape how work gets done.
This shift creates real opportunity – but also real risk. Done well, it drives growth, productivity, and more meaningful work. Done poorly, it leads to overlapping resources, rising costs, and unclear accountability.
The difference comes down to how the digital workforce is built and led.
Successful organisations do not treat this as a technology initiative alone. They start from business value, redesign work around it, and focus on maximising the value digital workers can create. This approach offers so much more than optimising costs.
The winning formula is to combine business transformation with the right workflow platform, and design value streams where people and digital workers work side by side.
Only 17% of companies are preparing for a digital workforce.
83% are not.

AI Value Canvas: Rethinking business transformation in the age of AI
The heart of the playbook is the AI Value Canvas – a practical tool that helps you structure one of the most critical conversations of today: how to rethink value creation, when AI fundamentally changes what is possible.
The canvas brings strategy, transformation, and human impact into one, clear view. It is equally useful for leadership discussions, team-level workshops, and unit-specific planning.
The value of this tool lies in the conversation it enables. It helps you challenge assumptions, sharpen direction, and make explicit choices about how your organisation creates value in a world where capacity is no longer the main constraint.

Dive deeper into the playbook in our webinar
In this on-demand webinar, Sofigate’s AI and business technology leaders, together with Karoliina Kettukari, AI Director at OP Pohjola, discuss what happens when digital workers become part of every organisation, team, and process – and what that means for leadership, operating models, and value creation?
In the webinar, we explore:
- What happens when digital workers become part of teams and business processes
- How knowledge work, leadership, and operating models are evolving
- Why AI is about more than productivity and efficiency
- How organisations can create new forms of value by combining human and digital strengths
- Practical recommendations for leading AI-driven transformation
- How the AI Value Canvas helps identify where humans and AI create the most value together
Watch the webinar on demand and continue exploring the future of work in the age of AI.
AI agents are not yet driving true transformation in most organisations. 73% are still automating existing tasks with limited evidence of work and process redesign.

“Most organisations are still using GPS when they need air traffic control. Running pilots is easy – scaling AI across the enterprise with full visibility and control, is not.”
Juha Kujala
“If you can’t connect a digital worker to a business owner, a process, and a measurable outcome, you don’t yet have business value – you have an AI pilot.”
Lassi Kurkijärvi
“Involve your people in designing digital workers and workflows. Real transformation happens when those closest to the work shape how it changes.”

“To scale AI, you need more than technology. Build an AI factory that brings structure, consistency, and real change in how people work.”
