AI LEADERSHIP GAP

Senior leaders accountable for AI change are leading without a framework designed for its unique challenges.→ 88% of organisations experiment with AI, but only one-third successfully scale pilots (McKinsey, 2025)→ Returns from AI investments remain slow to materialise and hard to measure (Deloitte, 2025)→ 37% of employees say their company isn't supplying the right AI tools (BCG, 2025)AI initiatives aren't stalling because of the technology. They stall because the leaders responsible for them don't have a framework fit for AI change.

what you'll gain

  • A clear framework for understanding why AI initiatives stall — and what to do about it

  • Practical approaches to reduce AI fear and build excitement and engagement

  • The methods to build evidence-based AI cases before committing investment

  • The leadership questions to ask at every stage, from business case to first pilot and scaling

TESTIMONIALS

What people say about our programmes:

With a deeply approachable, insightful and engaging course, Neil both rapidly and robustly increased my confidence in leading AI initiatives at my organisation.... I'm feeling energised with these practical (and blue sky) insights into how to pull it off.Laura Pacey, Chief Commercial Officer, RICS

Neil is a fantastically knowledgeable host, facilitator and guide. The sessions really helped me to think more on the subject of AI related to change and transformation linked to systems thinking and design. I really enjoyed the interaction and conversations with the other delegates.Frank Dias, Founder Ai x Comms Lab

Neil's designed his workshops brilliantly. A small group of peers and leaders with the opportunity to speak, discuss, and explore important ideas. There's strength in that kind of community.In a reality where patterns and rules for AI change are far from set, this kind of exploration is essential as we each refine how we'll tackle supporting AI change. Very happy to have been part of this programme. And what a great one it is.John Matoso, Change Management Consultant, Owner SubTonique

THE AI CHANGE CHALLENGE

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

Senior leaders accountable for AI change are leading without a framework designed for AI's unique challenges.

Fear

AI triggers identity-level anxiety: "Will I lose my job?"Traditional change models don't address the deep emotional threats.

Pace

AI technology evolves in weeks, with over 45k AI tools available.Linear change models that assume a defined future state quickly become outdated.

Uncertainty

Many AI initiatives can't quantify value or ROI before investing.Leaders are spending without clear guidance and are uncertain about AI's benefits.
