How to Script Change Before It Derails

In this episode of Accelerating Humans, Julianna and Bert break down the concept of a "change script"—a practical tool for guiding people through transitions, especially when tech like AI is involved. Drawing inspiration from an MIT case study, they explore why even the smartest strategies can flop without a clear narrative. They share real-life lessons from AI rollouts and corporate transformations, and offer a simple framework leaders can use to get buy-in, ease confusion, and avoid resistance. From the "could vs. should" framework to understanding when to use AI versus automation, this episode cuts through the hype with practical guidance. Whether you're leading change, reacting to it, or just trying to make sense of what's next, this episode offers sharp insights—and a few hard truths—about what it really takes to move people forward.
