Leadership Illusion: "People aren't using AI." Reality: They are. They just aren't using yours. The modern BATNA is strong: Immediate value vs. Corporate friction. If you can't beat the "I'll just open #ChatGPT #Gemini #Claude" convenience factor, your rollout is already dead. #ChangeManagement #ai

Why did MIT find 95% of AI project fail? Hint: it wasn't about the tech itself
The research was less about what's wrong with today's AI models and more about what's wrong with how companies are trying to use them

After last week, it is clear that we can't plan how changes roll out to our users. Claude, Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft all rolled out changes and pushed those changes into enterprises regardless of whether they were ready or not. We need to develop Resilience for when the next #change come.

The Microsoft Work Trends Index has an interesting nugget; "employees are interrupted every 2 minutes...and it adds up to 275 interruptions a day" so when we think about piling more change - maybe can find ways to remove distractions? (www.microsoft.com/en-us/workla...) #changemanagement
