Description


Buying AI tools is easy; getting people to use them consistently and responsibly is much harder. This webinar explores what successful AI adoption looks like inside a real team, from the first experiment to everyday working practice.

Dr Stylianos Kampakis will explain why many AI initiatives stall after an initial burst of enthusiasm, and how businesses can avoid fragmented tool use, unclear ownership and pilots with no measurable outcome. The session will cover how to choose a focused use case, involve the right stakeholders, define responsibilities, train users and introduce proportionate governance without slowing innovation.

Participants will also learn how to manage common barriers such as limited confidence, resistance to change, inconsistent data and unrealistic expectations of what AI can deliver. Using a practical adoption framework, the webinar will show how to create early wins, gather feedback and improve the workflow over time. Attendees will leave with clear steps for turning AI from an isolated experiment into a useful, trusted capability within their team.
