Beyond the Tools: Driving Human-Centered AI Adoption Presented by OpenSesame
Tuesday, September 23, 2025 10:00 AM EST
Tags: DEI, Virtual, Free
As AI capabilities accelerate, many organizations struggle with what really matters: adopting AI not just as a technology shift, but as a human and cultural transformation. While AI thrives “in the wild,” internal adoption is slower and more complex — often blocked by behavioral and organizational barriers. This webinar makes the case for a new approach to AI adoption — one rooted in mindset shifts, culture change, and strategic enablement. You’ll learn how to kickstart change management in your organization, and how to create the conditions for sustainable, enterprise-wide adoption that unlocks real impact.
