Why AI Tools Alone Won't Transform Your Organization

This presentation argues that successful AI integration is not merely a technological challenge but a human-centric one. While AI adoption is hitting new highs and demonstrating significant ROI, many companies are experiencing an "illusion of adoption" due to failures of literacy, culture, and trust. The core barriers are human-centric, including a significant gap between executive confidence and actual AI knowledge, a lack of continuous learning, and widespread mistrust among employees and customers.

To achieve genuine transformation, the presentation proposes a "4E Model": Educate everyone on AI basics, Enable teams to learn collaboratively, Empower leaders to connect AI to business value, and Evolve the culture to reward experimentation. Using case studies from companies like Spotify and PwC, the talk provides a practical roadmap for building a truly AI-enlightened organization.
