“We want to use more AI, but it just isn’t getting off the ground.”

In our programmes, we hear it time and again: leadership teams want digital transformation, yet they still work exactly as they did five years ago. AI is discussed in strategy sessions, but nothing changes in daily practice. Employees look to their leaders. If their manager does not take AI seriously, why should they?
