The Role of Change Management in AI

Knownwell
About this episode

Implementing AI is about more than just adopting technology—it's about bringing people along for the journey. Why is change management a critical competency for successful AI initiatives? How can organizations go beyond early adopters to drive full-scale adoption? And what are the tools and innovations in AI that we're most grateful for this year?

Special guest Andrew DeBerry, Knownwell AI Advisory Board member, shares lessons from his work with Google X's Bellwether team, which Time Magazine recently named one of 2024's best inventions. Learn how AI is helping governments manage disaster response and why listening to end users is crucial for impactful innovation.

Also, it's Thanksgiving week, and the AI Knowhow team is climbing aboard the "thankfulness train" to share the AI tools that have transformed the way we work and think this year. Which tools did Courtney, David, and Mohan say were their favorites? You'll have to listen to find out!

All that PLUS Courtney talks with Pete in a new segment, Searching for Competition. Pete discusses OpenAI's live search engine in ChatGPT and what it means for businesses leveraging real-time information.
