​Most organizations are still trying to align on AI principles. That’s often what slows them down. In this session, Drew Fifield, Talent Strategist and Founder of Method Consulting, shares how teams get stuck debating strategy while real progress comes from small, fast experiments.

​Using a case study on AI enablement at a cybersecurity firm, Drew walks through why company-wide AI training often fails, how role-specific pilots drive faster adoption, and where L&D can accelerate impact instead of becoming a bottleneck. You’ll leave with a practical way to shift from principle-heavy planning to pilot-driven execution inside your own organization.

​​​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.
