Speaker
Mr.Michael Healey
- Why getting employees to use AI may be harder than getting them access to it
- The role expectations play in successful AI adoption
- What’s really going on when you see resistance
- Why employees don’t have to embrace AI for adoption to succeed
- Are you taking too much responsibility?
- How counterintuitive strategies can help when AI adoption isn’t as expected
Overview of the webinar
When employees are slow to adopt AI, it's easy to focus on the behaviour we can see: they're not using the tools, they're questioning the change, they're sticking with existing processes, or they're simply not as enthusiastic as leadership expected.
But what we see doesn't always tell us what's actually happening.
The same behaviour can have very different reasons behind it, and the way leaders interpret that behaviour can have a significant influence on rates of adoption.
Most AI webinars focus on tools, technical skills or how to train staff. This webinar focuses on something different: the real reasons why adoption lags and what leaders can do about it.
We'll examine what successful adoption actually requires and how a different way of looking at resistance can open up different choices for how you respond.
Getting 100% of your staff excited about AI may be unrealistic. Getting past the resistance isn't.
Who should attend?

- Anyone with a Leadership role
Why should you attend?
AI tools are becoming increasingly available in the workplace, but too often they are underutilized or not used at all.
Some employees jump in quickly. Others hesitate. Some continue using familiar ways of working or avoid AI altogether. And when adoption doesn't happen as expected, leaders are left trying to figure out what to do next.
Do people need more training? More encouragement? Clearer expectations? More time? Do they need to better understand the benefits? Or is something else getting in the way?
For managers and leaders, maximizing AI adoption means knowing which buttons to push when employees don't respond to AI the way you expected or require.
How to Respond When AI Adoption Meets Resistance will challenge some common thinking about resistance and what successful AI adoption actually requires. You'll explore what may be happening beneath the resistance you see and discover practical, sometimes counterintuitive, ways to respond.
