Leading Wider Missions: AI and Span of Control in Government and Military Organizations

Government and military organizations are placing growing emphasis on span-of-control decisions, and many report stronger-than-average capability to analyze and manage spans across teams and functions.

This research examines AI’s influence on span-of-control decisions, current adoption patterns, and the measures organizations use to evaluate success.

Key Takeaways
• Many organizations report relatively strong span-management capability alongside a high level of strategic focus on span of control
• AI is already influencing span-of-control decisions for many organizations, with more than two-thirds reporting at least some impact
• Most organizations remain in piloting or implementation phases of AI adoption while using both operational and workforce measures to evaluate span-of-control changes
