Here's How to Change That. DTSTART:20260916T150000Z DTEND:20260916T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260905T000636Z UID:202143-1789556400-1789560000@www.mtlc.co CATEGORIES:education,tech DESCRIPTION:Your organization bought the licenses. Ran the training. Sent the announcement. And your people are still using AI the way they used the last platform you rolled out — cautiously\, occasionally\, and not for anything that matters. \nForrester’s AIQ research found that just 16% o f workers\, that’s only 1-in-6\, reached a High AI quotient in 2025\, wh ile 68% of organizations had generative AI running in production. The gap between what’s deployed and what’s actually being used well is not a t echnology problem. It’s a human problem and a change problem. \nMark Ma gnacca\, President & Co-Founder of Allego\, is joined by guest speaker\, J . P. Gownder\, VP & Principal Analyst at Forrester\, to unpack Forrester ’s latest AI readiness research and what separates organizations experim enting with AI from the ones turning it into an advantage. \nYou’ll lea rn how to: \n\nBenchmark where your people actually stand\, not where you assume they do. \nStrengthen confidence and motivation\, not just skills\ , because that’s where AI readiness can stall. \nBuild the habit of ques tioning AI output\, so AI creates value instead of rework. \nReinforce ado ption in the flow of work rather than announcing it once and hoping. \n\nR egister and get your free individual Forrester AIQ assessment\, the same b enchmark Forrester uses to compare what leaders think their people can do against what employees actually report\, to see where you stand personally . The AI advantage won’t go to the companies that adopt AI fastest. It w ill go to the ones that are ready to make it work.
