Confidence 0.70 · 2 sources · last confirmed 2026-09-15
Management and innovation researcher at Warwick Business School and the HBS AI Institute. Promoted on the second-source rule: she is a co-author on both of the corpus’s Dell’Acqua field experiments, which together form the wiki’s strongest empirical line on generative AI and knowledge work.
Her research background is in open innovation and how technology reshapes knowledge boundaries in professional work, which is visible in what the two papers chose to measure: not just output quality but who is able to produce what kind of work, and what happens to professional expertise when the boundary moves.

- 2026-04-28-dellacqua-jagged-technological-frontier — the BCG field experiment that named the jagged-frontier, measuring individual consultants against an uneven capability boundary.
- 2026-06-12-dellacqua-cybernetic-teammate-field-experiment-genai-teamwork — the preregistered 791-person Procter & Gamble experiment on whether AI can substitute for a human teammate; its silo-dissolution result (professionals producing balanced work outside their own function) is the expertise-boundary question her prior work sets up.
