In order to strengthen the connection with our alumni community and to better share Audencia’s academic expertise, we are launching a new series of monthly webinars. This initiative will begin with a pilot cycle of three events, designed especially for our Alumni.

The aim is to offer you high-value content directly connected to the major challenges shaping today’s economic and managerial landscape. These sessions will also provide an opportunity to highlight the academic excellence of Audencia’s professors and the richness of their networks, while giving you a concrete insight into the School’s research activities, corporate partnerships, and executive education initiatives.

We are therefore delighted to invite you to take part in the first webinar of this series.

🚀 Audencia Alumni Webinar Series – “Beating the AI Productivity Paradox”

We have all heard the promises: AI will increase productivity. It will revolutionise the way we work and free up time for higher-value activities. It will drive economic growth.

Yet when we look beyond the hype, a different reality is emerging. Employees are increasingly stressed and tired. Studies show that 77% say AI tools have actually reduced their productivity. Workers are spending more time on tasks — around 3.15 additional hours per week, according to an NBER study. Cognitive overload is increasing, and managers are working at “lightspeed” while teams struggle to keep up.

So what is a manager supposed to do?

How is the role of management evolving in the age of AI? What should managers stop doing — and what should they start doing instead?

📅 Join us on 7 April for the first webinar of the Audencia Alumni Webinar Series:
“Beating the AI Productivity Paradox.”
