Changing Conversations
Change happens and manifests in Conversations, both for us as humans and for organisations. As leaders and employees we are never not in conversation. Conversations are elemental in making things happen, but it is still a blind spot with a huge potential for many of us. Conversations might be the smallest biggest thing in making organisations fit for humans and fit for the future. In this explorative podcast series, hosts Katrina Marshall Dyrting and Stig Albertsen will discuss Changing Conversations together with a range of conversation evangelists. The guests will include business leaders, as well as management thinkers and thought leaders from academia and beyond.

Jeremy Utley - How to work with AI as a teammate, not a tool
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why does working with AI as a teammate unlock exponentially better results than treating it as a search engine? And how do you actually build that collaborative relationship?
These are the key questions we discuss in this episode of Changing Conversations with Jeremy Utley.
Jeremy is a leading thinker and speaker within innovation, creativity, and collaboration with AI. He teaches these topics as an Adjunct Professor at Stanford and advises CEOs and leadership teams. Jeremy also shares his expertise more broadly through his writing and podcasting. He is the best-selling author of IdeaFlow and host of the wildly popular podcast "Beyond the Prompt: How to use AI in your company."
In this conversation, we share:
- That most people treat AI like a search engine when they should be having real conversations.
- How giving AI permission to ask you questions can significantly improve the quality of the output, enhancing (rather than replacing) your human intelligence.
- Why leaders need firsthand experience experimenting with AI to imagine the future of their organizations.
- The power of starting with personal, emotionally meaningful questions rather than work tasks to overcome fear and build fluency with AI.
- How simple questions like "Have you tried AI?" can shift organizational cultures to support the spread of AI collaboration.
