We're living through one of the most consequential technological shifts in history, and most people aren’t sure how to engage. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of change and its pace. Unsure how to connect AI to their real lives and work. Asking themselves: where do I even start?
The potential is staggering. Breakthroughs we hadn't dared imagine are suddenly within reach. But potential doesn't mean anything if you can't see the path to it.
I meet people where they are, help them see what's possible, and inspire them to act on it in ways that matter to them.
This is the most challenging shift we’ve had to make.
A pioneer in human-centered technology adoption
Alison helped shape the field of change management as organizations first grappled with the rapid pace of disruption in the 1990s. For three decades, she has operated as a conduit between Silicon Valley disruptors and the enterprise leaders determined to harness their innovations for competitive advantage.
It’s a rare vantage point, spanning the innovators building the future and the organizations striving to implement it, and given her a deep understanding of the forces that drive real change: human behavior, organizational dynamics, and the ability to translate emerging technology into performance. Along the way, she has collaborated with technology pioneers to help develop entirely new market categories, including more than a decade working alongside early leaders in artificial intelligence.
When ChatGPT ignited a global wave of AI adoption in 2022, Alison turned her attention to a new question: why were some people unlocking extraordinary value from AI while others struggled to move beyond the basics?
Alison launched an intensive study of hundreds of successful early adopters to understand what set them apart. Her most recent bestseller, How to Think with AI, a Simple Guide to Boost Creativity and Cognitive Performance, distills this research into a clear and practical framework that shows how individuals can turn AI into a true cognitive advantage.
Today, Alison speaks at innovation forums around the globe, advises Fortune 1000 leaders, and has reached more than 100,000 learners through her executive education programs. As Chief Advocacy Officer at Think with AI and founder of Unblocked Future, she is focused on one mission: helping people turn AI into a true human advantage.
