Stop counting who uses AI. Start finding who's transforming with it.
Over the last two years, every people leader I know has been chasing the same number: what percent of our employees are using AI? It’s the wrong metric. At Atlassian, we learned this through firsthand experience. We’ve gone through three evolutions of how we measure employee AI adoption, and each time we changed the metrics we learned something telling about what the old numbers were hiding. Those shifts have changed how we hire, develop, and bet on talent.
