You’ve spent years defending individuals and interactions over processes and tools. Now you’re the one asked to roll out the tool. The adoption dashboard turns green, people nod in training, and the way they actually work barely moves.

In this workshop, you’ll play a short card game that puts you on the receiving end of change. Then we unpack what happened, using research on social threat and psychological safety, and you leave with one conversation to start within seven days.

🎯 TARGET AUDIENCE
Managers, CIOs, transformation leaders, AI project sponsors, and any decision-maker facing AI initiatives that struggle to take off. No technical AI background required.
