White Paper Request
The Cultural Cost of AI Adoption

What Leadership Teams Are Missing

Organisations are spending billions on AI implementation and almost nothing on the people expected to adopt it. The result is resistance, disengagement and cultural fractures that no algorithm can fix.

 

This white paper examines how AI adoption is being managed as a technology project while the cultural and psychological impact on the workforce is being overlooked.

 

Inside this white paper:

  • Why AI adoption fails when culture is ignored

  • The psychological impact of AI on identity, autonomy and professional self-worth

  • How cultural pressure from AI transformation shows up in subcultures and microcultures

  • What the Culture Pressure Map™ reveals about AI-related psychosocial risk

  • A framework for leaders managing AI transformation without destroying employee experience

 

Available for: Government agencies, healthcare organisations, financial services and universities.
