AI enthusiasm
vs.
AI adoption

While leaders express excitement about AI’s transformative potential, many are slow to adopt and integrate it into their operations. This hesitancy stems from unclear strategies and resistance to change, highlighting the need for a robust change management approach to align leadership, build employee trust, and accelerate adoption. It’s time to adopt!

Da do do do
say yeah yeah yeah
yes

Many of our best experiences (and admittedly some of the worst) come from simply saying yes. There are only a few days left in 2024, so what do you have to lose? Go on, try it. You know you want to.

Do you think you
could jolly it up
a little bit for me?

“How” you communicate is as important as “what” you must convey. Here is a seasonal example of how changing words changes the message from resignation to rejuvenation.

Don’t fear
the beeper

Your year in change,
wrapped

Spotify Wrapped summarizes your music and podcast listening over the year. The app tracks the number of songs you played (I listened to 1,857), minutes on the app (15,265) and most-played artist (Kid Creole and the Coconuts). It also compares you to other listeners (“While it’s not a competition, there is a leaderboard”). The connection to change leaders is clear: track your progress and benchmark it against others to gain knowledge and make modifications. As the Wrapped summary states: “Life moves fast. Lucky we took notes.”
