AI Overwhelm is Real. Here’s How to Cut Through It.

A practical conversation about what actually drives readiness, adoption, and real organizational progress.

Most organizations are experimenting with AI. Far fewer are seeing it become part of how work actually gets done.

Leaders are navigating noise, fast-moving tools, and real pressure to “do something,” often without clarity on what truly drives readiness, adoption, and results. Teams are piloting. Some people are quietly using tools. A few pockets are making progress. But very few organizations feel like AI is becoming embedded in everyday work.

This live conversation is about closing that gap.

Craig will be joined by Diane Sadowski from Clarinet, who works closely with organizations on AI readiness, adoption, and capability building. Diane brings a practitioner’s perspective on what organizations are actually encountering as they try to move from experimentation to meaningful, responsible use of AI, including what tends to get in the way and what truly helps teams make progress.

In this session, we’ll discuss what we’re seeing across organizations that are genuinely moving AI into real work, and how leaders can cut through the noise to focus on what actually matters.

What we’ll explore

• Where leaders should focus when everything feels important
• What actually moves AI from pilots into real day-to-day work
• A practical way to think about AI adoption across learning, building, and scaling
• Common patterns that stall progress and what helps unlock momentum
• How to think about impact beyond activity, hype, or tools

We’ll also shape part of the conversation around the real questions leaders are wrestling with. When you register, you’ll be invited to share one question you have about AI adoption, and we’ll use those to help guide the session.
