Joel Abreo (Senior Project Manager, rtCamp) is speaking at WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 on “Operationalising AI after the easy gains”, a 30-minute talk on Sunday 22 November.
Most people say AI makes them faster, yet few companies can point to better results. Joel’s case is that the bottleneck has moved from individual tasks to shared context and coordination, and he shares what happened when he tried moving AI onto it on his own team.

Operationalising AI after the easy gains
AI models and tooling get more capable every quarter. Nearly every organisation uses them, and most people say AI makes them personally more productive. Yet, according to industry surveys, the share of companies that can point to a measurable improvement in their results has barely moved.
I believe the reason is not capability or adoption, but that most companies do not know what to do with AI on an operational level. So it stays where it was easiest to deploy first: individual tasks. An old idea from manufacturing explains what happens next: merely speeding up a step does not raise output, but merely piles up work further down the line.
