Copilot's Summary

The Harvard Business Review article "7 Strategies to Get Your Employees On Board with GenAI" by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic discusses the importance of human adaptability in the effective deployment of generative AI¹. The article presents seven strategies to improve an organization's ability to adopt GenAI and any novel technology¹:

1. Innovation boosts your organization’s immunity: Encourage innovation to make your organization more adaptable to new technologies.

2. Focus on the problem: Identify the specific problems that GenAI can solve in your organization.

3. Less is more: Avoid overwhelming employees with too much information about the new technology.

4. Intuition is the common enemy: Rely on data and evidence, not intuition, when making decisions about implementing GenAI.

5. Everyone loves change until they have to do it: Recognize that change can be difficult and support employees through the transition.

6. Process eats culture for lunch: Establish clear processes for implementing and using GenAI.

The article emphasizes that the human factor — people and culture — will drive the adoption of AI, or lack thereof¹.

The author suggests that these strategies can help businesses leverage AI effectively and realize its potential benefits¹.
