Audience outcomes
- Understand the difference between AI efficiency and AI sustainability
- Identify where your organization is on the human readiness continuum
- Leave with a framework for protecting culture during rapid AI adoption

Audience outcomes

Based on the SAAM model and the AI Readiness Audit, this talk examines the most common structural failures that precede failed AI adoption: unclear ownership, insufficient training, absent guardrails, and readiness assessments that measure the wrong things. Practical, direct, and grounded in patterns Rebecca has observed across enterprise deployments.
Audience outcomes

- Understand what a real AI readiness assessment measures
- Walk away with a diagnostic you can apply to your own organization

A visionary keynote rooted in Rebecca's foundational research into human decision-making, authority, and adaptation.

Audience outcomes
- Understand the 72-archetype model and its origins
- See how human archetypes predict AI adoption behavior at scale
- Leave with a new way of diagnosing cultural resistance and over-reliance
