From Hype to Habit: Turning AI Experiments into Everyday Work | MeetUp @HelloDigital.
Everywhere you look, AI is “the next big thing.” But inside real teams, something else happens: pilots start strong, excitement is high… and then nothing. The tools never land, people hesitate, processes stay the same, and leaders wonder why the promised impact never shows up.
The problem isn’t the technology. It’s adoption: human, messy, emotional adoption.
In this talk, Malcolm Bunge (McKinsey & Company) cuts through the noise and explains what really happens when AI meets day-to-day work. Why teams hold back. Why tools feel intimidating or disruptive. And why even the best models fail if people don’t trust or understand them.
What you’ll hear:
The real blockers behind AI pilot failures
Why human behaviour beats technical features every time
A simple adoption playbook that leaders can use immediately
Expect a session that’s sharp, honest, and deeply relatable, whether you build AI, manage teams, or simply try to integrate new tools into your own workflow.
After the talk, we’ll move into an open get-together with drinks, some food, and plenty of room for questions, debates, and new connections.
