Onine event: AI adoption is about people. Not tools.
Join us for this free online session to explore how AI’s real power comes from people, not just the tech!
AI adoption is about people. Not tools.
Every firm has people who are keen on AI, people who are curious, and people who would rather not get involved at all.
We all now have the tools, but organisational change often remains very much a work in progress. Closing that gap is all about bringing people with you.
During this 45-minute session, CPD-Accredited AI trainer Emma Gordon will introduce the five foundations that make AI adoption stick: direction, leadership, advocates, guardrails and proof.
You’ll use the framework to carry out a light readiness check on one live AI initiative in your organisation and you’ll leave with —
· a readiness snapshot
· a clearer view of the leadership, ownership or guardrails that need work
· one strategic conversation and one practical action to take next.
