The Hidden Bottleneck
Your line managers are the critical (and overlooked) lever for AI transformation. They're the frontline of AI adoption.
Most organisations chase the latest tools whilst leaving their managers completely unprepared. Line managers' ability to help teams move from AI-resistance to AI-fluency will define your success.
