Leading with Context: Lessons from Atlassian’s AI journey

Learn what it actually takes to close the gap between AI adoption and enterprise-wide ROI. Join Atlassian's Chief People & AI Enablement Officer Avani Prabhakar and Head of Engineering, Developer Infrastructure Hari Lingamagunta for a candid conversation drawn from Atlassian's Leading with Context report.

85% of knowledge workers now use AI. But only 6% of executives can point to clear, organization-wide ROI.

The organizations pulling ahead aren't just bolting AI onto existing tools; they're rewiring their workflows, culture, and knowledge systems around it.

At Atlassian, we’ve spent the past year embedding AI into how our teams plan, decide, and deliver. In this session, Atlassian's Chief People & AI Enablement Officer Avani Prabhakar and Head of Engineering, Developer Infrastructure Hari Lingamagunta share the five questions every enterprise leader is asking and what Atlassian has learned answering them:

  1. How do we drive accountability? Why some AI transformations stall, how to put the right owners in place, and the goals each function should own.
     
  2. How do we unlock the ROI of AI? Why models aren't the moat; your organization’s institutional memory is, and how connecting AI to our connected context cut token usage by 48% without sacrificing speed.
     
  3. How do we make AI part of our culture? How leadership modeling, structured rituals, and protected time for experimentation drove over 99% of Atlassians to use AI in their daily work, without a single mandate.
     
  4. How will teams evolve? Why you should redesign the work before you redesign the org chart, starting with tasks, then skills, then roles.
     
  5. How do we measure success? How to shift from tracking adoption to measuring real business impact and why a single AI superuser lifts their entire team's performance by 56%.

Whether you're a CIO, CHRO, CTO, or transformation lead, you'll walk away with a practical framework for turning AI activity into business outcomes.
