Business leaders and project managers looking to implement AI or manage organizational change effectively.
This lesson introduces the ADKAR model for managing change, focusing on AI implementation in small businesses.
Eblink's e-commerce chatbot implementation failed due to poor change management, not technology issues.
The failure stemmed from an authoritarian decision, lack of clear goals, and no communication with staff.
Lack of employee engagement led to frustration, decreased productivity, and damaged customer relations.
Success requires clear goals, right tools, communication, employee understanding, training, and feedback.
The ADKAR model (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) guides individuals through change.
Self-assessment focuses on understanding the need for AI (Awareness) and motivation to change (Desire).
