AI can now do far more than summarize meetings. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Artem Koren explore how meeting intelligence is evolving into AI that helps leaders execute business goals, improve collaboration, and rethink the future of work.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Artem Koren discuss:

• The evolution of AI-powered meeting intelligence
• Connecting everyday work to organizational goals
• Practical AI applications for business workflows
• Leadership behaviors in times of uncertainty
• Balancing automation with human judgment

Key Takeaways:

• AI can remove repetitive work, but leaders should continue reviewing its output to ensure it reflects their own thinking, judgment, and communication style.
• Custom AI workflows can help organizations evaluate meetings against their own standards, making it easier to reinforce desired behaviors and improve consistency.
• Rather than focusing only on individual tasks, AI can help employees connect their daily work to broader business goals and organizational priorities.
• When problems arise, leaders build stronger teams by staying calm, assessing the situation, addressing the immediate issue, and learning from what happened instead of reacting emotionally.
• Use AI to support decisions and execution, but preserve the human moments that strengthen relationships, trust, and personal connection.

“Assess the situation, stop the bleed, figure out what you do to prevent this thing from happening in the future, and implement those changes.” — Artem Koren
