When it comes to AI, too many leaders think too much about the technology and forget about the people. It should always be people first, technology second. To succeed in the age of AI, you must bring your team along on the AI journey: facilitate their use of AI, address their concerns, and ensure they feel empowered, not threatened, by this new technology. In this interactive masterclass, you’ll discover practical ways to help your people embrace AI and drive success on the AI journey.
Some highlights from the session:
🤝 Humans and machines must work together. Use AI as a tool to empower people and create a culture ready to embrace change.
🤔 Are you excited, worried, or unsure about AI? All three are OK! The key is to stay curious, appropriately cautious, and always learning.
🏢 AI is rapidly being embedded in many industries – such as speeding up insurance claims, improving solar panels, and creating more sustainable processes. How is your industry harnessing AI?
🎯 Focus on AI projects that bring tangible value: Save time, make or save money, enhance well-being, or boost engagement.
🛠️ Find, nurture, and support AI champions in your team to lead small projects. This grassroots approach fosters confidence and comfort with AI, and creates measurable results.
💬 Some employees may feel using AI is “cheating” or will tarnish them as lazy or incompetent! Educate and reassure them of AI’s role and your attitude towards it.
🧠 Encourage people to use AI for brainstorming and problem-solving, not just writing and research.
🤷♂️ Start small, but start now!
💡 Unless you have deep pockets and lots of time, use a bottom-up approach (not top-down) to adopt AI.
🛠️ To reduce resistance and stay safe, start with pilot projects to demonstrate AI’s value.
