Humanizing AI Adoption: PIxHIxAI© by EmpathifyU

Bay Area Human Resources Connections (baHRC) is pleased to collaborate with Ajit Dodani, Empathy Strategist©, member of the Forbes Coaches Council, and Founder of EmpathifyU, to present this hybrid event to the HR Community.

OVERVIEW ✨

We are all aware that AI is here and will augment our work. We must learn to make it our best tool, our most effective assistant, and create environments where we can utilize this tool to give our organization a competitive advantage and achieve success.

TACKLE THE PROBLEM 🚀

AI adoption is skyrocketing, yet research indicates that 70% of AI initiatives fail to deliver a meaningful impact. Why? According to the Boston Consulting Group, while organizations excel at building AI technologies, they often struggle with the human and leadership elements required for successful transformation.

Outdated leadership models, such as command-and-control hierarchical structures, siloed decision-making, and a lack of emotional intelligence, create friction rather than fostering innovation. Companies that fail to adapt risk losing both employee trust and business value.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES🚀

• Accelerate trust-based AI adoption across departments
• Improve cross-functional collaboration between technical and business teams
• Strengthen employee buy-in and retention during digital transformation
• Ensure the ethical and equitable adoption of initiatives aligned with strategic business outcomes.
