AI Change Management

Trustworthy AI : De-risk business adoption of AI

In today’s "Trustworthy AI: De-Risking AI Adoption" episode, Pamela Gupta, the host and Amii Barnard Bahn explore a critical — yet often overlooked — factor for successful AI adoption: change management. As organizations race to implement AI solutions, many stumble not because of the technology itself, but due to resistance from people, unclear roles, and a lack of readiness to shift the way work is done.

Drawing insights from leading practices, we’ll discuss how building trust, creating shared understanding, and preparing your workforce can be the difference between AI hype and AI impact. Let’s talk about why change management isn’t just an add-on — it’s the engine that drives sustainable AI transformation .

Amii Barnard Bahn is a contributor at Harvard Business Review. Amii has shaped company culture and strategy at global companies such as McKesson and Allianz in multiple roles (CAO, Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief Human Resources Officer). Her expertise reinforced a powerful truth: AI transformation is not just a technological journey — it’s a leadership challenge.

To the executives listening — your role is pivotal. The success of AI in your organization hinges not just on tools and algorithms, but on your ability to communicate a vision, empower people, and sustain trust through change. Change management isn’t a soft skill — it’s a strategic capability. And now more than ever, it’s your competitive edge.
