The Hidden Realities of AI Adoption. Featuring Kate Niederhoffer and Thomas H. Davenport.  Hosted by Tom Stackpole.

The Hidden Realities of AI Adoption

Many organizations have moved beyond asking whether to adopt AI and are now grappling with how to integrate it successfully.

Where are the most common points of failure? What barriers are preventing organizations from realizing value? How should leaders think about governance, change management, trust, and execution? What does recent research suggest about what’s working and what’s not?

To answer these questions, HBR senior editor Tom Stackpole was recently joined by Kate Niederhoffer, chief scientist at BetterUp, and Tom Davenport, professor of IT and management at Babson College, for a live, interactive conversation. Here's a subscriber-exclusive video and transcript of the event.
