100-word summary
McKinsey surveyed 10,000 executives across 15 countries and found companies are creating entirely new job categories to work alongside AI agents: "agent orchestrators" who manage AI workflows, "hybrid managers" who oversee mixed human-AI teams, and "AI coaches." Three-quarters of current roles will need new skill combinations. The consulting giant argues companies can't just bolt AI onto existing processes. Instead, they need complete redesigns that assume AI handles routine work while humans focus on judgment calls and creativity. The subtext? Your org chart probably looks nothing like it will in two years.
