Common Pitfalls in AI Adoption

Lack of Manager Engagement

AI adoption often fails when managers needs are overlooked by senior level planners.

Managers need skills data that impacts on their teams
Team members expect guidance for integrating AI into workflows
Successful AI adoption depends on skills insights, not IT expertise.

Teams struggle to apply AI advancements
Critical tasks remain bogged down by legacy methods
Resistance to AI adoption grows due to uncertainty
