Your AI transformation isn't failing because of the technology. It's failing because of the culture, trust, and leadership behaviors you've built around it.
Full description:
Shaara Roman, founder and CEO of the Silvering Group, joins Lori Adams-Brown to explain why AI should be treated as a team member, not just a tool, and why most AI adoptions fail due to human factors, not technology. Shaara shares the six pillars of AI change management, why middle managers are consistently the least ready group for AI transformation, and how her third culture kid upbringing across India, Nigeria, and England shaped her adaptive leadership philosophy.
