Summary
You invested a small fortune in a shiny new AI platform, sent out the logins, and were met with… the sound of crickets. It’s a story playing out in offices everywhere, and the problem isn’t the technology. It’s the human connection. Teams don’t resist change; they resist ambiguity. In this episode, Nate and Di break down why even the best tech fails and give you the Type A: Unhinged playbook for rolling out AI without inciting a full-scale mutiny. Stop demoing features and start demoing outcomes. This is your guide to connecting powerful tools to the people who actually need to use them. In this episode, we deliver the 3-Rule Playbook: Rule 1: Frame the Mission, Not the Mandate: Learn how to create immediate buy-in by giving the tool a shared purpose. Rule 2: Demo Outcomes, Not Clicks: Discover the power of showing the magic trick (the finished product) instead of the boring process. Rule 3: Foster Curiosity, Don’t Force Compliance: Why a playful “sandbox” approach beats rigid compliance metrics every time. Plus: We share our biggest AI “icks” and the most unhinged (but brilliant) ways we’ve seen AI used at work. Need to fix your tech adoption and create some organized chaos?
