Smoothing the Path to AI Adoption: Recommendations for Leaders
Embracing AI is a journey of cultural and organisational transformation. Here’s seven practical strategies for business leaders to make that journey smoother and more effective:
How different sectors approach AI adoption
How four organisational archetypes – public sector agencies, regulated traditional companies, unregulated traditional companies, and digital-native businesses – each approach AI adoption through the lens of their culture and risk posture.
Public Sector: Cautious but Transforming
Traditional Regulated Companies: Innovation Under Compliance
Traditional Unregulated Companies: Breaking Out of Legacy Mindsets
Digital-Native Businesses: Innovating by Default
Culture Eats Compliance: How Organisational Change Drives AI Adoption
Adopting artificial intelligence is no longer optional – it’s a business imperative. Yet not all organisations embrace AI at the same pace or in the same way. A nimble tech startup and a government agency operate under very different norms, not because laws force their hand, but because of culture, risk appetite, and approach to change. In fact, even the most advanced AI technology will fall flat if an organisation’s culture isn’t on board.
