Let’s Break the AI Adoption Barrier

If your organization is like most, it’s hard to get traction in AI. Teams may be testing AI, but it’s just not “sticking” or they’re having trouble getting to real business value. Some aren’t sure even how to engage. And few executives are leveraging AI to advance their own strategic work.

Meanwhile, pressure for results is building.

Close the gap with workshops from bestselling author and digital change expert Alison McCauley.

Galvanizing Leadership to Champion AI Learning

Most leaders at this global organization had only superficial AI experience, so they struggled to understand how it could bring strategic value to their teams. With just one hour for a keynote and Q&A at their leadership summit, we demonstrated why activating your organization for AI matters now, and how AI could quickly advance their own executive-level business-critical work. The approach worked: following the event, three divisions immediately requested in-depth workshops to activate their teams.

From Confusion to Strategic Clarity: A 3-Hour Transformation

This team struggled gain AI traction and lacked a roadmap to advance their work with AI. A 3-hour workshop transformed leaders from AI novices to strategic advocates. We explored the new landscape of use cases that AI makes possible, and how to not only overcome organizational barriers but anchor initiatives in concrete business needs. Participants left with a prioritized library of potential AI applications mapped to their strategic priorities, and a point of view (co-developed with AI during the session) on how AI could advance their highest-priority objectives.

Bridging the AI Knowledge Divide Across Regions

This global organization faced a critical challenge: inconsistent AI literacy across their workforce created a patchwork of understanding and adoption. We designed a learning network to connect these isolated pockets through an activation program that created shared understanding of AI opportunities and practical engagement strategies. By facilitating cross-regional knowledge sharing and experiences, we are bridging geographical and functional divides to foster sustainable momentum.

Developing a Digital Change Playbook for the AI Era

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, traditional change management approaches are proving inadequate for organizations navigating the AI era. This workshop reveals why digital transformation is fundamentally different this time, the key shifts that are necessary to advance, and how to map a path through the challenges of this moment. We explore battle-tested strategies from organizations that are successfully activating their workforce to leverage AI, and practical frameworks for turning pockets of innovation into sustainable momentum that scales globally.
