Why Your AI Adoption Is Stuck
Paul Gibbons
AI adoption adviser
Diagnose the friction blocking one AI initiative
AI adoption rarely fails for one simple reason. A pilot can have executive sponsorship, access to tools, and plenty of training, yet still fail to change the work that creates value. This course gives leaders and practitioners a disciplined way to diagnose one specific AI initiative, identify the strongest sources of friction, test the evidence behind the diagnosis, and build a focused 90-day response. You will use the free AI Adoption Friction Audit on Paul Gibbons Advisory as the core diagnostic, then turn the result into an initiative brief, evidence plan, interpretation, and practical response canvas.
What you’ll learn
Leave with a bounded AI initiative, completed Audit, working diagnosis, evidence plan, and provisional 90-day response.
Convert a vague AI adoption concern into a bounded use case.
Name the workflow, users, intended value, and observed problem.
Separate symptoms from assumed causes.
Use the eight-domain Audit to rate present conditions.
Distinguish friction from consequence and evidence strength.
Treat “unable to assess” as missing information, not neutrality.
Read domain interactions without collapsing them into a maturity score.
Identify rational or protective friction before prescribing action.
Ask what evidence would disconfirm the leading explanation.
Match interventions to the friction mechanism, not generic change activity.
Assign owners, decision rights, dependencies, and behavioural signals.
Set stop, adapt, continue, and scale checkpoints.
