AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations know how to handle it, and the gap between curiosity and confident use is where things go wrong. Michael Burch, VP of AI Enablement and Acceleration, joins to break down what it actually takes to move teams from "interested in AI" to using it responsibly and effectively in their day-to-day work. He shares why successful adoption depends less on the technology itself and more on trust, clear guidance, and making AI approachable for non-technical teams. Whether you are leading an AI initiative or just trying to figure out where to start, this episode is a practical look at what real adoption looks like inside organizations today.
