The AI Strategy Gap

There’s a growing gap in how AI is being experienced inside organizations. And most leaders are missing it. In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I share original research from her audience that reveals a major disconnect between leadership and employees when it comes to AI adoption. Because while leaders are optimistic, employees are overwhelmed. And that gap is creating more problems than progress. This is not just about AI. It is about how we lead change. Here’s what I unpack:  The stark difference between leadership and employee sentiment toward AI   Why most companies don’t actually have an AI strategy   How hype and external pressure are driving decision-making   The reality of AI creating more work instead of less   Why poor training and unclear direction are hurting adoption   The “FOMO cycle” and how it keeps repeating   What leaders need to do differently to close the gap  The takeaway is clear. This is not a technology problem. It is a leadership problem. If you want real results from AI, you have to start with the problem, not the tool. And you have to bring your people into the process. Because without alignment, strategy is just noise. 📄 Download the full report here: https://mailchi.mp/roloffconsulting/aigap 👇 Let’s discuss:  Does this gap exist in your organization?   Is AI making your work easier or more complicated?   What would need to change for AI to actually deliver value?  🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights on digital transformation, leadership, and emerging technologies.
