AI transformation isn't a technology challenge, it's a leadership challenge. This conversation explores why the biggest barriers to AI adoption are human, not technical, from fear and shame to curiosity, humility, and the willingness to learn. Kirsty Mac from Illuminate AI shares how coaching leaders to embrace uncertainty creates the culture needed for meaningful AI transformation.

The discussion also looks at how organisations can make AI relevant to every employee by focusing on real business problems rather than the technology itself. From the power of play and experimentation to the evolving role of HR and learning teams, it offers practical insights into building an AI-ready culture where people, processes, and technology evolve together.
