In this episode of Transform Work, John Winsor sits down with Raffaella Sadun, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and one of the leading researchers studying how management, technology, and work design drive productivity inside organizations.

Raffaella’s work sits at the intersection of economics, leadership, and the future of work. Drawing on large-scale data and real-world field experiments inside major companies, she explores how hybrid work is reshaping labor markets, how management practices influence performance at scale, and how generative AI is beginning to change the way teams collaborate and make decisions.

In this conversation, we dive into what actually drives productivity in modern organizations, how leaders should think about managing in a hybrid world, and why the real impact of AI may be less about automation and more about how work gets coordinated.

If you’re a business leader, HR executive, or anyone thinking about AI, workforce transformation, and the future of work, this episode offers a practical, research-backed perspective on what’s changing and what matters most.
