Measuring AI Outcomes

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Outlier Venture Partners PTE. LTD. respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you provide when participating in the Artificial Organizations Research Program.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information in connection with the Artificial Organizations AI Executive Survey, the Measuring AI Outcomes research initiative, and related research activities.

The 2026 research initiative is designed to better understand which leadership behaviors, operating models, organizational practices, and approaches to AI-enabled work are associated with measurable organizational and business outcomes.

1. Who is responsible for the research?

The Artificial Organizations Research Program is operated by:
Outlier Venture Partners PTE. LTD.
105 CECIL STREET #16-05 THE OCTAGON SINGAPORE 069543
Email: hello@barryoreilly.com

The Artificial Organizations Research Program is led by Barry O’Reilly, author of Artificial Organizations.

In this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Outlier Venture Partners PTE. LTD. in its operation of the Artificial Organizations Research Program.

2. What information do we collect?

Survey responses

The research survey is primarily designed to collect information about organizations, ways of working, AI use, leadership, decision-making, and organizational outcomes.
Depending on the questions you answer, information collected may include:

• Job level, role, or functional area
• Industry or sector
• Organization size and characteristics
• Geographic region
• AI adoption and use within your organization
• Leadership and management practices
• Organizational behaviors and ways of working
• AI-supported decision-making
• Human and AI collaboration
• Operational practices and processes
• Perceived organizational, team, operational, and business outcomes
• Responses to optional open-ended questions

The survey is intended to collect information about organizational practices and observable outcomes rather than personally sensitive information.

Contact information

Contact information is collected through a separate form from the research survey.

Depending on what you choose to provide, this may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Job title
• Organization or company
• Other professional contact information

Keeping contact information separate from research responses helps reduce the direct connection between an individual’s identity and their survey answers.

Technical information

The survey is hosted using Typeform.

When you access the survey or research website, Typeform and other technology providers may automatically collect or process limited technical information, including:

• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Operating system
• Date and time of access
• Approximate geographic location derived from technical information
• Survey completion information
• Cookies or similar technologies

This information may be used to operate the survey, maintain security, understand participation, prevent misuse, diagnose technical issues, and protect the quality and integrity of the research.
Typeform processes information in accordance with its own privacy and data-processing practices.

3. How do we use your information?

We may use survey responses and associated research information to:

• Conduct the Artificial Organizations AI Executive Study
• Analyze patterns across organizations, industries, roles, and regions
• Develop industry and organizational benchmarks
• Test and refine the Measuring AI Outcomes research framework
• Understand relationships between AI-enabled ways of working and organizational outcomes
• Conduct statistical and research analysis
• Produce aggregated research findings
• Improve future versions of the survey and research program
• Support longitudinal research
• Assess participation and research quality
• Produce reports, briefings, presentations, articles, webinars, podcasts, newsletters, educational materials, and other research outputs

The research is intended to identify relationships and patterns in AI-enabled organizational performance. It does not assume that AI adoption or use automatically produces better outcomes.

You can unsubscribe from email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us at hello@barryoreilly.com.

Unsubscribing from communications will not affect survey responses or research information that has already been anonymized, aggregated, or incorporated into research analysis.

6. Confidentiality of survey responses

Individual survey responses will remain confidential.
Research findings will be published using anonymized, aggregated, or appropriately grouped information so that individual participants are not identified.

We will not intentionally publish:

• Your name alongside your individual survey responses
• Your email address
• Your identifiable individual survey answers
• Information that identifies you as the source of a particular survey response

Where analysis of a small group could reasonably create a risk of identifying an individual participant, we may combine categories, suppress results, or otherwise limit the information that is reported.

7. Open-ended responses and quotations

Some survey questions may allow participants to provide written comments or other open-ended responses.

These responses may be analyzed as part of the research.

We will not intentionally publish a quotation in a way that identifies an individual participant without appropriate permission.

When responding to open-ended questions, participants should avoid providing unnecessary:

• Personal information
• Sensitive information
• Confidential business information
• Trade secrets
• Proprietary information belonging to an employer or third party
• Information identifying other individuals

8. Research Partners

The Artificial Organizations Research Program is supported by Research Partners who help support, promote, and expand participation in the research.

Research Partners may promote the survey through their own:

• Customer networks
• Employee communities
• Professional networks
• Executive communities
• Industry groups
• Members and subscribers
• Strategic partners
• Marketing and communications channels

Research Partners support the research program but do not determine:

• Survey methodology
• Survey questions
• Research analysis
• Research findings
• Editorial conclusions

These remain independent functions of the Artificial Organizations Research Program.

9. Information shared with Research Partners

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of the research program or others.

We do not sell individual survey responses.

13. International data transfers

The Artificial Organizations Research Program is a global research initiative and may include participants from multiple countries and regions.

As a result, personal information may be stored, transferred, or processed in countries other than the country in which you live.

These countries may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards or legal mechanisms for international transfers of personal information.

14. Data retention

We generally retain identifiable personal information collected in connection with the research program for up to five years.

Information may be retained for a shorter or longer period where:

• Required by applicable law
• Necessary to respond to a legal or regulatory obligation
• You remain a participant in the Artificial Organizations research community or communications
• There is another legitimate reason for continued retention consistent with this Privacy Policy

At the end of the applicable retention period, identifiable information will be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with our data-retention practices.

Anonymized research information

Anonymized or aggregated research information that can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual may be retained for longer than five years.

The Artificial Organizations Research Program is intended to build a longitudinal evidence base that allows researchers to understand how leadership practices, organizational behaviors, operating models, ways of working, and AI outcomes change over time.

For this reason, anonymized research data may be retained and compared with future research studies.

15. Legal basis for processing

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, we may process your personal information based on one or more of the following:

• Your consent
• Our legitimate interests in conducting and improving organizational research
• Our legitimate interests in administering and protecting the research program
• Providing research benefits or services you have requested
• Performance of an agreement
• Compliance with legal obligations

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time where applicable.

Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

16. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the privacy laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you

hello@barryoreilly.com

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

Anonymized data

Once information has been fully anonymized so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to an identifiable participant, we may no longer be able to identify or remove a specific individual’s contribution from the research dataset.

17. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information and research data from:

• Unauthorized access
• Improper disclosure
• Loss
• Misuse
• Alteration
