How Might We Drive AI Transformation in Organisations?
AI is everywhere. Yet in many organisations, it remains stuck in pilots, buried in IT departments, or celebrated in presentations but rarely embedded into everyday work. Why is it so hard to move AI from idea to impact?
CTRL+SHIFT+CHANGE kicks off with a discussion on how to make progress in driving AI adoption without pushing blindly against invisible barriers.
Together, we’ll explore:
The real friction points that make AI adoption harder than expected
How to distinguish between technical, leadership, governance, and capability challenges, rather than treating everything as a “technology problem”
Simple sense-making models to map your organisational context and understand the type of problem you are actually facing
Practical moves within your own sphere of control that can make progress easier, even without large mandates or budgets
Cross-sector perspectives from healthcare, education, and the public sector, offering practical insights you can adapt to your own organisation
Leave with a sharper understanding of the dynamics behind AI transformation, clearer language to engage leadership and stakeholders, and one or two experiments you can try immediately.
