Culture Still Eats AI For Breakfast – Workday Survey
A Workday survey reveals that disorganized contract management and corporate culture are preventing legal AI from achieving enterprise-wide impact.Summary
A major survey conducted by Workday involving 7,000 legal and enterprise professionals across 10 countries highlights a persistent state of "contract chaos." Despite advancements in legal AI technology, organizational culture remains a significant barrier to adoption. The study found that only 37% of in-house lawyers feel responsible for post-signature contract management, while over half of respondents lack a centralized contract system.
Data indicates that contracts are often scattered across personal hard drives, email inboxes, and even physical paper records, with 23% still relying on paper. This lack of centralized control and unclear ownership—where many believe contracts should belong to whichever team seems most relevant—prevents AI from delivering enterprise-level benefits.
Ultimately, the report suggests that without improved human engagement and structured organizational processes, AI's impact will remain localized rather than transformative. As the article concludes, the current landscape proves that "culture still eats AI for breakfast."
