Why This Conversation Matters
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we work but are people being brought along for the journey?
AI is advancing fast but people aren’t keeping up. In 2025, only 16% of U.S. workers use AI, even as 60% of executives push for rapid adoption. The result? Ambitious tech goals colliding with anxious teams.
With 85% of AI projects failing due to lack of preparation and inclusion, the real challenge isn’t the technology—it’s the human connection.
Join our Lunch & Learn to discover how leaders can bridge that gap and turn AI adoption into a shared success story.
