AI isn’t just changing the tools we use. It’s rewriting where and how companies invest, hire, and build resilience. Gong and Fenergo are scaling Irish operations to meet AI demand while Microsoft cuts jobs to offset costs. Boeing prepares to absorb Spirit’s Belfast base as Switzerland’s top insurer retreats home. The pattern is clear. Operations strategy now demands knowing when to accelerate, consolidate, or pivot entirely. Automation is forcing these decisions faster than ever. Success will come to those who match ambition with adaptability.
