I help organisations break down knowledge silos and drive sustainable insight-led growth âš¡ Founder | Author | Speaker | Knowledge Management Expert
The AI horse has bolted. In the words of Jakob Neilsen, “It's not AI that will snatch your job, but the individual leveraging AI to outpace your performance.†But many teams face resistance from leadership when trying to introduce AI to support their work. Much of this resistance stems from a lack of education and hands-on experience with AI. In a recent survey of over 13,000 professionals, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) found that hands-on experience with AI tools makes business professionals more likely to be optimistic about the future prospects of AI in business. In fact, 62% of business professionals with experience using generative AI are optimistic about its future, a stark contrast to the mere 36% of respondents devoid of AI experience who share this optimism. Conversely, 42% of nonusers express concern about AI, whereas a negligible 22% of regular AI users echo these concerns (source in link). So, if you're facing resistance surrounding incorporating AI into your role, consider shifting your approach towards hands-on learning, allowing those who are hesitant to experience its benefits firsthand. You may find their mindset quickly shifts from 'resistance' to 'how might we...' mode. https://lnkd.in/dyGcQqez
