What if we’ve been thinking about AI all wrong?

In this episode of Transformation 2.0®, Chamara is joined by internationally recognised strategist, author, and advisor Sangeet Paul Choudary to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions about AI: that it’s simply a tool for automating tasks.

Drawing on his latest book Reshuffle, Sangeet explains why AI is better understood as a coordination technology - one that rewires how industries compete, how organisations are structured, and what kinds of work are valued.

From automotive and healthcare to retail and plastics, this conversation explores how AI drives convergence across industries, reshapes strategy, and creates both winners and losers depending on whether leaders choose to adopt AI as a bolt-on tool -  or reimagine their businesses around it.

If you’re a transformation leader, strategist, or innovator looking to see beyond the hype and understand AI as a systemic shift, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways

✅ AI is not just about task automation - it reshapes competition at the industry level.

✅ The real shift is in coordination: how work, roles, and decision rights are reorganised.

✅ Advantage goes to firms that reinvent business models, not just adopt tools.

✅ Industries are converging - value now comes from recombining capabilities across boundaries.

✅ Case studies: automotive (vertical integration), healthcare (AI in drug discovery and patient journeys), and plastics (sustainability + digital twins).

✅ Leaders must separate technology adoption from business model reinvention to avoid being disrupted.
