Most AI initiatives fail on the human side, not the technical one — culture, not technology, is the barrier leaders cite most. This course equips you to lead that change: understanding resistance, applying change-management frameworks built for AI, designing workforce enablement, and driving adoption that sticks. You learn to move an organization through the "frozen middle" where transformation so often stalls, and to keep momentum after the launch excitement fades.
