AI, People & Culture - the 'must have' conversation

An in-house facilitated Leadership Conversation for 2026

AI is not a technology problem. It’s a people, culture and trust challenge and opportunity.

AI is already changing how work gets done, how decisions are made and how people feel about their role, their value and their future.

The real risk for leaders isn’t the technology, as such, it’s cultural drift, leadership, strategy, communication, trust, the emotions and fear in people.

This in-house (half day) session creates the space leaders rarely get for an honest, practical conversation about what AI is really doing to your organisation and how to lead the change deliberately, not reactively, realising that tech change is emotional for people.

What this session is

A facilitated half day, in-person (or virtual) leadership conversation for c-suite, senior leaders and decision makers.

·        Practical, grounded and human-centred

·        Focused on people, culture, trust and leadership

·        Designed to surface real concerns, not theoretical answers

·        Built around discussion, reflection and shared insight

This is not

·        An AI tools demo

·        Vendor pitch

·        Passive keynote

·        Strategy built in isolation from people reality

 The Leadership questions

Leaders are already asking:

·        Are our people emotionally ready for AI?

·        What happens to trust when roles start shifting?

·        How do we lead when ‘intelligence’ itself is changing?

·        Why does AI feel harder in practice than on paper?

These aren’t technical questions, these are leadership questions that deserve you time and attention.

What we explore together

The session focuses on four real-world tensions:

1.       Intelligence Transition

Skills gaps, ROI anxiety, pace of change, leadership judgement

2.       Emotional Reactions to AI

Fear, fatigue, morale, imposter syndrome

3.       Trust Gap

Ethics, data risk, control, accountability

4.       Human-centred Adoption

Resistance, engagement, clarity, ‘what’s in it for me?’

If these aren’t addressed, adoption stalls, regardless of how good the technology is.

Who this is for

This session is designed for leaders who carry responsibility for people, performance and culture, including:

·        CEOs, COOs, CFOs

·        CIOs, CDOs, Heads of Digital or Transformation

·        CHROs, Heads of People, HR, Culture and Talent

If AI is landing in your organisation, this is your conversation.

What your leaders can expect to take away

·        Clear language to talk confidently about AI with their teams

·        Peer insight into what other leaders are actually facing

·        A grounded perspective that cuts through AI hype

·        Clear 90-day next steps leaders can act on immediately
