Acteon's podcast returns: listen to the first episode on AI adoption now
Speak to the Human returns with a new host, and a first episode that tackles one of the biggest challenges facing organisations and leaders right now: AI adoption.
Speak to the Human returns with a new host, James Woodman. Building on the first 23 episodes hosted by Sarah Abramson, the podcast explores how people think, behave, and make decisions at work.
Through real stories and practical conversations, each episode investigates the human behaviours that drive outcomes – and how organisations can respond.
The podcast is driven by curiosity about what influences behaviour and decision-making at work in the moments that matter.
Episode 1: How do you really get people using AI well at work?
Dr Guy Champniss, social psychologist, shares why most organisations are struggling with AI adoption - and what they should be focusing on to see real impact.
Drawing on a survey of more than 1,200 employees in the UK and US, Guy shares his new research into what he calls "adoption quality" – a framework for understanding why organisations are struggling to realise AI’s potential, the impact it has on how employees feel and behave, and what leaders can do to respond.
The biggest barriers aren’t technical – they’re psychological. And the most powerful barrier of all is something people rarely talk about: the threat to their professional identity.
