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, November 2025)→ Only 25% of organisations have moved 40% or more of their experiments into production (Deloitte, January 2026)→ 37% of employees say their company isn't supplying the right AI tools (BCG, June 2025)AI initiatives aren't stalling because of the technology. They stall because the leaders responsible for them don't have a framework designed for AI change challenges.

what you'll gain

  • A clear understanding of why AI initiatives stall, and the leadership decisions that move them forward

  • A neuroscience framework for addressing AI-related fear, and what responsible AI governance looks like for reducing that risk

  • The method for building AI use cases from observed evidence, so the investment case holds up to scrutiny

  • The ability to design a pilot with pre-agreed success criteria so you know, before it starts, what a good result looks like and when to stop

  • The leadership behaviours that enable AI adoption to scale without losing engagement or accumulating a graveyard of pilots that never reached a decision

  • A certificate of completion and digital "AI Adaptologist" badge for your LinkedIn profile.

TESTIMONIALS

What people say about our AI Change Leadership Express and Accelerator 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

A really insightful course that's invaluable for anyone with a role to play in setting out the AI strategy. It delves beneath the surface of AI as just another tool in the business armoury recognising the range of intended and unintended consequences that can arise and how best to manage for those.Andy Ford, Transformation and Change Leader

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

The gap between AI investment and AI adoption: 84% of companies haven't redesigned jobs around AI capabilities (Deloitte, 2026).

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.

WHAT YOUR WORKSHOP COVERS

1. The Leadership Challenge

  • Understand why 88% of organisations experiment with AI but only a third successfully scale

  • Recognise why traditional change approaches fail when applied to exponential technology evolution

  • Identify the root cause when teams can't measure success from their AI initiatives

  • Understanding why AI triggers identity-level fear, what neuroscience tells us about how people respond, and how to build responsible AI governance that reduces risk

  • Applying systems-thinking for coherent, strategically-aligned initiatives

  • Learning-organisation principles that enable you to adapt to new knowledge and insights as AI evolves

3. PROPOSE - Building Evidence-Based Cases

  • Calculate organisational impact in a way that turns individual frustrations into a quantified business case

  • Connect a use case to strategic priorities so the investment case holds up to executive scrutiny

4. PILOT & PROGRESS - From Experiment to Scale

  • Design a pilot with pre-agreed success criteria, go/no-go thresholds and a binding decision date

  • Evaluate pilot outcomes against criteria so that stopping is recognised as a successful result

  • Apply diagnostic questions to assess the readiness and rigour of your current AI initiatives
