Eighty-eight percent of employees use AI at work. Five percent use it in a way that changed how work is designed. That gap is a design problem.

A pilot used to mean you experimented, learned, and decided. Now it means nobody commits, but everybody looks busy.

After 200+ workshops across four countries, this keynote takes apart five myths about AI adoption, shows what a work redesign looks like next to a tool rollout, and ends with four questions you can put to your organization on Monday. You need no budget, no vendor, and nobody's permission.

What you'll leave with:

  1. How to tell a work redesign from a tool rollout. Four things change in a real one. If you cannot name all four, you bought a tool and changed nothing.
  2. Why AI training stops working two weeks after you run it. Most organisations train everyone at once and adoption flatlines. The fix is order, not budget. Leadership first, then ambassadors, then managers, then everyone.
  3. Four questions that replace license counts. They tell you whether AI is producing change or expensive activity, and they still work when today's tools are obsolete.
