People & Transformation | Co-Host Amanda Rajkumar

from AI and the Executive Table

SHOW NOTESWhen organizations talk about AI transformation, the instinct is often to hire. But that is usually the wrong starting point. The real question is how to enable the people already inside the business.In this episode, Kenza and Amanda explore what AI literacy actually means inside organizations and why treating it as a training program rather than a business capability is where most companies go wrong. They discuss the three levels of AI literacy (leadership, operational, and technical), why upskilling existing employees should come before external recruitment, and how co-creation across functions accelerates adoption in ways that top-down rollouts rarely do.KEY TAKEAWAYS•      AI adoption is not primarily a hiring challenge. It is an activation challenge.•      AI literacy only sticks when people apply it to their own decisions and processes - not when it stays in a training room.•      Leaders who visibly participate in AI learning send a signal the rest of the organization cannot ignore.•      Early adopters who pull others along are more valuable than any single AI hire.
