Change in the Era of AI

Shaping human-centered transformation for meaningful AI adoption
More detailed information
Successful AI transformation goes far beyond technology. It demands a shift in mindset, leadership, and the way people and machines collaborate.
In this hands-on workshop, Geertrui Mieke De Ketelaere guides participants through the human dimension of AI adoption, using the Gartner AI Maturity Model as a framework. Through interactive exercises and the creative power of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, complex concepts become tangible—fostering deeper understanding, reflection, and team alignment.
Participants will explore the leadership roles, collaboration models, and cultural changes required to move AI from pilot to practice. Whether you're leading digital strategy or navigating change on the ground, this session equips you to drive sustainable, people-first innovation in the age of AI.
