Roundtable Dialogue: Ultimate Thoughts on Evolution: Introduce AI, Change Processes First or Change Minds First? | 2026AI Partner Beijing Yizhuang AI+ Industry Conference
During a panel discussion at the 2026 AI Partner conference, experts debated whether companies should prioritize changing processes or mindsets when integrating AI. One perspective emphasized starting with cognitive shifts, particularly at the leadership level, to build AI-native architectures rather than just optimizing existing workflows. Conversely, another viewpoint suggested initiating AI adoption through practical process improvements, using tangible results to build consensus and drive broader organizational change. A consensus emerged that a phased approach, starting with small, impactful applications, is more effective than attempting a complete overhaul or waiting for unified understanding. AI
