Getting Your Team to Adopt AI

AI transformation in finance isn’t just about implementing new tools—it’s about fostering a mindset shift across the team. Getting Your Team to Adopt AI explores the behavioural, cultural, and leadership strategies required to embed AI into daily workflows. Successful AI adoption begins with addressing the real concerns of your people—fear of job loss, lack of skills, and unclear value—and turns them into confidence, curiosity, and capability. Through practical frameworks and real-world applications, this course empowers finance leaders to build an AI-first culture where innovation becomes second nature.

Technology alone won’t transform your finance function—your people will. This module focuses on creating excitement, confidence, and trust in AI across your team. You’ll learn how to communicate the value of AI in ways that resonate with finance professionals, address resistance with empathy, and develop a change journey that inspires. With tools to identify internal AI champions, introduce low-risk hands-on applications, and establish a framework for daily use, this session will help you lead the cultural shift toward an AI-empowered future.
