SUMMARY:MnCMN Change Summit -Navigating the AI Frontier: Scaling Value through People-Centric Transformation
DESCRIPTION:AI is moving fast\, but responsible organizational adoption cannot be rushed.Join Mayka Thao of TruStone Financial for a practical look at how one organization is approaching AI with intention\, structure\, and a strong focus on people. Drawing from TruStone's evolving journey\, Mayka will share how her team is moving from early exploration and governance toward proof of value\, pilots\, and broader adoption\, all within a regulated environment.Together\, we will explore how a clear strategic vision\, a thoughtful maturity model\, and a growing internal change community can help organizations move from curiosity to capability. Mayka will also share lessons from the road so far\, including hurdles they have had to navigate\, successes that are building momentum\, and what it takes to balance innovation\, compliance\, and organizational readiness along the way.If you are looking for a real-world perspective on how AI can be introduced thoughtfully\, responsibly\, and in ways people can actually adopt\, this session will offer practical insight into what it takes to scale value through change.Why attend?Because AI adoption is not just a technology challenge. It is a leadership\, readiness\, governance\, and behavior change challenge.If you want to better understand how organizations can move beyond AI interest and into purposeful experimentation\, responsible implementation\, and meaningful adoption\, this session will give you a practical look at how one organization is navigating that journey in real time.What You'll LearnParticipants will leave with greater clarity on:how a staged maturity approach can help guide AI from exploration to broader adoptionwhat helps organizations move from early use cases to proof of value\, pilots\, and scalewhere governance\, compliance\, and guardrails matter in building trust and momentumthe role leaders\, change practitioners\, and internal champions play in adoptionlessons learned from one organization's real-world AI journey\, including hurdles and successesWho Should AttendThis event may be especially valuable to:change practitionerstransformation and project leaderspeople leaders sponsoring or shaping AI adoptionHR\, talent\, and learning leaderstechnology and digital transformation leaderscommunications and employee engagement professionalsLocation Sponsor:\n\n\nWe are grateful to our longtime partner\, Horizontal\, for sponsoring the location\, food\, and beverages for this Change Summit.
