​Before AI became an enterprise-wide focus, it began as a bottom‑up effort within the Talent Development team. In this session, Niv Iyer shares how she proactively assessed organizational AI usage, established an adoption baseline, and used those insights to design a tiered AI literacy model that supports both day‑to‑day application and long‑term business value.

Niv explores how grounding AI adoption in responsible governance—while pairing tool access with structured learning and a community of practice—helped shift AI from isolated experimentation to a scalable, trusted capability. She’ll also offer candid reflections on what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons learned along the way.

​​About L&D x AI Week

​​If your team is actively supporting AI adoption at your company, this one's for you. We're bringing together L&D professionals to share practical, ground-level stories from the work they've been doing.

​​Expect the sessions to center on real case studies: what initiatives they launched, what got traction (and what quietly flopped), and what they'd do differently with the benefit of hindsight. We're keeping it focused on internal teams doing the work, which means no sponsored segments, no product demos — just honest, peer-to-peer exchange.

​​The format is designed to feel friendly and low-pressure, so come ready to share as much as you're comfortable with. Whether you're early in your AI learning journey or well into it, the goal is for everyone to leave with something genuinely useful.
