Augmenting Organizational Change and Strategy Activities: Leveraging Generative Artificial Intelligence
Open accessAbstract
In this scoping essay, we discuss the potential for generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to shape the work of organizational change, development, or strategy implementation professionals. Using a case example of a culture change initiative, we illustrate how practitioners can benefit from using GAI tools to augment relevant change activities in planning initiative content and roll-out, mobilizing stakeholders, and monitoring initiative progress. We conclude with a reflection on the limitations of GAI systems and outline directions for future research related to (1) stakeholder responses to GAI, (2) GAI impact on the nature of change work, and (3) GAI value creation for change work and unintended consequences of GAI use.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This scoping essay argues that generative AI (GAI) tools such as ChatGPT can augment organizational change, development, and strategy implementation work. Using a culture change case at TechCorp, it illustrates GAI use for planning, stakeholder mobilization, and monitoring, while cautioning about vague output, source opacity, bias, and ethical risks.
Key findings
- GAI can augment three common change activities: (1) planning initiative content and roll-out, (2) mobilizing stakeholders, and (3) monitoring initiative progress.
- In the TechCorp culture change example, ChatGPT-3 generated theme titles, quotes, and behavioral principles; a 12-month roll-out plan for a 10,000-employee manufacturer; two newsletter versions (enthusiasm/promotion focus vs. agitation/prevention focus); a role-play with a resistant engineer; and sentiment/theme analysis of 10 open-ended employee responses rated 1–5.
- The paper identifies limitations including vague/generic suggestions, lack of source transparency, hallucinated or misattributed sources, potential bias from overrepresented training-data cases, and ethical/legal concerns.
- It outlines future research on stakeholder responses to GAI, GAI’s impact on the nature of change work, and GAI value creation plus unintended consequences.
Methods
- Scoping/conceptual essay, not an empirical study; it uses a case example of a culture change initiative at TechCorp, a technology manufacturer, building on field research of the first author (Kanitz et al., 2022).
- Uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3 (Jan 30, 2023 version) to generate illustrative outputs for planning, mobilizing, and monitoring activities, with prompts and outputs presented in tables.
- Analysis is illustrative and reflective, discussing applications, limitations, and future research rather than testing hypotheses or estimating effects.
Limitations
- Stated: GAI suggestions often appear vague and generic; designing successful change is context-sensitive, so outputs need further development by humans with change-management expertise and organizational knowledge.
- Stated: source transparency is lacking; ChatGPT may not provide references unless prompted, may hallucinate or misattribute sources (e.g., the William Butler Yeats quote is discussed as a misattribution), and some sources in the examples are not stated correctly or do not exist; bias and ethical/legal issues are also noted.
- Evident: the paper offers no empirical validation of GAI’s benefits or risks, relies on a single illustrative case and ChatGPT-3, and limits the sentiment-analysis example to 10 employee responses to ease judgment of accuracy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
