The AI Hype vs. Reality: What Change Leaders Need to Know
AI is evolving fast, and so are the narratives around it. But how much of what we hear is real, and how much is just hype?
For change leaders, understanding the true impact of AI on jobs, leadership, and transformation is critical to driving successful adoption—before misinformation leads to resistance, fear, or missed opportunities.
In this interactive session, we’ll separate fact from fiction and explore:
The biggest myths vs. realities of AI in today’s workplace
How AI is actually changing the way we lead and the way we work
Lessons from organizations leading AI-driven change—and what you can apply now
Join us for a candid discussion on what’s real, what’s not, and what change leaders must do to stay ahead.
