This episode explores how organisations can move from AI curiosity to real, everyday value through the practical adoption work of Carina de Vries. Drawing on hands-on experience, it reframes AI from a tool conversation to a problem-first mindset. The focus is on building trust, improving quality, and creating small habits that stick. Listeners will learn why one-off training fails, how behaviour change really happens, and how to design an AI adoption journey that fits daily work rather than disrupting it.

👉 What you’ll learn
• How to shift AI conversations from tools to real user problems
• Why small, repeatable habits matter more than broad AI training
• How to design an adoption journey that builds trust and confidence
• Ways AI can improve both productivity and quality of work
• How to help people move from experimentation to daily AI use
• From AI Fear to Daily Habit: The 90-Day Playbook

• “I discovered ChatGPT and it helped me get back to work in just an hour a day.”
• “It’s just another tool in the toolbox, so what do you want it to deliver to you?”
• “We talk too much about the tool instead of a daily problem a user can relate to.”
• “People are already in a mindset that the current tool they’re using is better.”
• “It’s about building the habit, not just doing a one-off training.”
• “Make it small, because we tend to tell everything about the product all at once.”

• “I wouldn’t know what to do without it because it’s saving me so many hours a week.”
