Transcribe →Ep 404: How To Build AI Confidence in Your Organisation
Jun 300:05:53Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailYour AI strategy is only as strong as your team's confidence to use it. In this episode, I walk through the five stages of AI adoption - from awareness through to strategic - and the specific risk lurking at each one. Confidence isn't something that just happens. It's a leadership outcome you build deliberately, the same way you'd build any other capability. Key takeaways: - The five stages: awareness, exposure, application, integration, strategic - each with its own trap, from panic-buying tools to complacency at the top. - Move the team one stage at a time. Audit where each person sits, lift the bottom up first, champion the most curious. - The danger zone is application without governance - that's where shadow AI use creeps in. - Confidence is a leadership outcome. Make learning continuous and celebrate visible wins.Want to go deeper on AI? 📖 Buy AI Playbook📩 Get my weekly LinkedIn newsletter, Human in the Loop. 🎓 Level up with the CPD Accredited AI Playbook Diploma 📞 Let's talk about AI training for your team: digitaltraining.ie or publicsectormarketingpros.com if you are in government or publics sector.

Jun 200:09:58Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThis is not an AI strategy, asking what AI tool we should use in our organisation? Instead, start asking what AI can do and start asking where your organisation is losing time, energy, and value. In this episode, I run the four-area scan - productivity, content, insight, service - and explain why the winning move is to pick where the pain is greatest, not where the tech is shiniest. I also break down the four mistakes nearly every organisation makes, from tools-first thinking to pilot purgatory.
