Getting AI Adoption Right
Luisa Herrmann
Turning tech hype into business outcomes
AI spending is sky high and the outcomes aren't there – what's not working
AI budgets are growing. Licenses are active. Tools are deployed. And yet — adoption is flat, teams aren't using what was bought, and leadership is asking where the results are.
Maybe you're the one who has to answer that question. Maybe you were handed the mandate and now you own the outcome. Maybe you made the investment yourself and it's not paying off. Or maybe you're watching competitors announce AI strategies and you need to move — without wasting money on something that goes nowhere.
This isn't a technology problem. It's an implementation problem — and it's one of the most common and costly mistakes organizations make with AI right now.
This course gives you a practical framework for getting AI adoption right: how to read your organization, avoid the traps that kill initiatives before they start, navigate top-down mandates without being set up to fail, and walk away with a concrete plan you can actually execute.
No hype. No generic advice. Fifteen years of delivering technology to organizations that couldn't afford to get it wrong.
