The Human Side of AI Adoption: Why Most AI Projects Fail Before They Start

Everyone's implementing AI. Most of it isn't working. Not because the tools are bad, but because the people using them are still thinking the same way they always have. Finite thinking in an infinite game.

In this session, we'll cut through the hype and get honest about the real reason AI initiatives stall: organizational mindset. You'll learn how to spot the invisible assumptions and paradigms that quietly kill AI projects before they ever get off the ground and what to do about it.

You'll walk away with:

• A simple framework for diagnosing whether your team is ready for AI adoption (hint: most aren't as ready as they think)

• The specific language patterns that signal deep resistance to change

• A practical first step you can take Monday morning (no tools required)

This session is for founders, leaders, consultants, and anyone who has watched a promising AI initiative die a slow, frustrating death. You don't need to be technical. You just need to care about making change actually stick.
