Does your organization’s AI adoption feel scattered? All too often, teams are treating a strategic transformation like just another software rollout. Megan Torrance joins IDIODC with a better framework — one grounded in systems thinking. She maps the three zones where AI impacts learning organizations and the nature of training work itself, and the 14 conversations that organizations need to be having as we further our implementations of new tools and processes.
Drawing from her forthcoming book, Megan shares the planning dimensions most learning teams overlook. From workforce impact to governance to change management, she reveals why cross-functional collaboration matters just as much as technical prowess. This conversation previews strategic concepts your team should explore now. Her upcoming webinar dives deep into the AI Implementation Canvas framework with actionable strategies.
