Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes explains why context, not compute, drives enterprise AI adoption and how organisations transition from AI novices to AI-native teams.
●
Intelligence multiplied by context accelerates business outcomes; the teamwork graph now indexes code semantics, organisational skills, and physical assets across 150 billion connections.
●
Leading organisations prioritise throughput, flow, and output quality over token consumption, using tools like DX to measure engineering productivity rather than raw AI usage metrics.
●
AI moves beyond chat into natural product experiences across Jira, Confluence, and Dia, meeting users where they work without requiring prompt engineering expertise.
"The best organisations are talking about throughput and flow and output and quality of output, not quantity of output." - Mike Cannon-Brookes
