If you want a case study for change management done right, give this post from Leo Casado a read. The big standout points: - Usage doesn't always equal effective usage. Our benchmark found that 61% of his team were confident AI users...but 80% of them didn't know how AI applied to their role. - The "aha!" moments come when theory is turned into practice: In Leo's own words, "seeing someone shift from hesitant to empowered is what this work is really about." - The most important AI integration is culture: The biggest transformation is in their people, not in their tool use. We're proud to partner with Autodesk on their AI transformation journey! Can't wait to see what your team does next, Leo. https://lnkd.in/gvsrDMiC

We've all been there: Walking into a meeting we thought we were prepared for and then watching it all go sideways. Let's never do that again 🤝 In our new workshop with Shane Ray Martin, AI for Negotiations, you'll learn how to use AI to win every deal, promotion, and any executive's buy-in. He'll walk you through the AI tools and prompts that will prepare you for all outcomes and give you a plan of attack from all angles. This is not just for sales leaders (although, this should be mandatory learning!), it's for anyone looking to make themselves more compelling and successful in the hot seat. Enrollment is open - link in comments.
