Britt Gage, founder and CEO of oAT (of All Trades), explores the shift from static org charts to dynamic teaming, where generalist operators execute, adapt, and connect across functions. As AI reshapes work, Britt argues the future belongs to flexible, problem-centered teams, and to organizations designed to move as fast as the challenges they face.
