""Workers say AI makes them an average of 33% more productive, and executives say improved personal efficiency is AI's biggest benefit," the report noted, saving an average of 1.3 hours a day. That time, Atlassian found, is mainly being put into process improvement, strategic thinking, and professional development. For executives, nearly two-thirds say they have improved their efficiency thanks to AI, with a similar figure saying it lets them "see new patterns in the business"."
"AI is helping staff get more work done, but it's hampering team productivity and hurting broader operational efficiency. That strange paradox was the main finding in a study from a by Australian software giant Atlassian, which surveyed 1,000 executives and 12,000 knowledge workers. The firm found 96% of companies are failing to see a return on investment (ROI) with AI - and 37% believe AI has wasted their employees' time."
A survey of 1,000 executives and 12,000 knowledge workers shows AI increases individual productivity by about 33%, saving roughly 1.3 hours per day. Saved time is mainly used for process improvement, strategic thinking, and professional development, and many executives report improved personal efficiency and the ability to see new business patterns. Despite these gains, 96% of companies report no dramatic improvements in organizational efficiency, innovation, or work quality, and 37% say AI has wasted employee time. Perceptions of AI have improved, with far fewer calling it useless and more viewing it as a strategic partner, yet broader business impact remains limited.
