THE AI CHANGE CHALLENGE

Why 70-85% of AI Initiatives Fail to Scale (MIT & RAND)

 

Traditional change approaches fail because AI isn't simply a technology implementation, it's cultural transformation that triggers fears that previous changes never touched.

 

The AI Reality You Are Facing

  • 52% of workers fear AI in the workplace (Pew Research, 2025)
  • 41% fear losing their job to AI (BCG's AI at Work study, June 2025)

 

Fear is fast becoming one of the biggest blockers to successful AI adoption.

Existential Fear

AI triggers identity-level anxiety: "Will I lose my job?"

Traditional change models don't address deep emotional threats.

Exponential Pace

AI technology evolves in weeks, with over 40k AI tools available.

Linear change models quickly become out of date.

Unclear Value

Most AI initiatives can't quantify value or ROI before investing.

Leaders are spending blindly and are uncertain about AI's benefits.

"...the whole process over just a few weeks has dramatically improved my confidence in leading AI in my organisation and feeling energised with these practical (and blue sky) insights into how to pull it off"

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR

"AI isn't just a technology implementation, it's a culture change preparing people to partner with unprecedented intelligence that's reshaping the very nature of work."

Neil Harrison, Founder The Adaptologists

 

  • 25+ years leading complex change and transformation
  • Human-centric AI adoption advisor for 2 years
  • Creator of the 4P AI Adoption Framework
  • Respected thought-leader and mentor with 13,000+ followers on LinkedIn
  • Certified change leader and programme manager

WHY THIS PROGRAMME EXISTS

Leading AI change feels fundamentally different. Traditional change approaches fail because AI isn't simply a technology implementation, it's cultural transformation.

 

AI adoption amplifies every organisational challenge while raising existential fears about purpose and future relevance that previous change never touched.

 

After 25 years of fixing poorly led change, Neil has identified the patterns where AI initiatives fail. Traditional change approaches weren't designed for AI's exponential pace, existential fears, or the leadership and cultural transformation required.

 

This accelerator distils that hard-won knowledge into practical frameworks that address what traditional methods miss: the deeply human challenges of AI adoption.
