Summary:
In a world where technology—especially AI—is reshaping the workplace, it’s no surprise that change can feel overwhelming. This session, Human Change Un-Squeezed, equips you to navigate this uncharted terrain with clarity and purpose, transforming resistance and confusion into trust, cohesion, and results that are both effective and human-friendly.
We’ll begin by exploring how our brains naturally react to change, especially under the pressures of AI integration. Understanding the neurology behind change responses is crucial: it sheds light on why teams may resist and reveals strategies to foster adaptability. Next, we’ll dive into the principles of co-creation, a powerful approach that transforms change from something imposed to something shared. Discover how involving your team in the AI transition can turn hesitancy into commitment, creating a strong foundation for sustainable success.
You’ll then get hands-on with the Change Adoption Canvas, a practical tool to build trust and clarity. Through this exercise, you’ll learn to map out change impacts, align team goals, and address concerns, making AI-driven change manageable and even exciting. Finally, we’ll reflect on how to un-squeeze change within yourself—how to manage your own reactions and lead by example as technology transforms your organization.
By the end of this session, you’ll have both the insights and tools to not only navigate AI-driven change but to lead it confidently, ensuring that your team feels empowered and engaged. Let’s chart a course from confusion to cohesion, unlocking the potential for growth and success in this new era of work.
