In this solo episode, The Edge of Work host Al Dea takes a closer look at the idea that AI transformation is a change management challenge and explores what that really means for organizations. Drawing on his own speaking and coaching work as well as dozens of conversations with leaders working on AI adoption and enablement, he outlines six themes that go beyond simply introducing new tools: understanding different stages of AI adoption, addressing human behavior and incentives, involving people across the organization, investing in foundational work, rethinking how work gets done, and taking a more personalized approach to enablement.

The episode offers a practical framework for leaders looking to move beyond AI adoption and toward meaningful changes in how people work.
