Change Management in the Age of AI


In an era filled with confusing headlines about AI, it is difficult for leaders to know where to start. This handbook is a practical, leadership-oriented guide designed to cut through that noise, especially for leaders and managers in small- and mid-market businesses (SMEs). It is built on the firm belief that AI adoption is, at its core, a human challenge, not just a technical one.
Change Management in the Age of AI: A Practical Handbook for Business Leaders provides a deep emphasis on the psychology of change: what your people are feeling, why they might resist, and how to build the commitment, trust, and psychological safety needed for real success.
This book distills essential, time-tested concepts of change management. These include Lewin's Force Field Analysis, Kotter's Eight Steps, and the ADKAR model . It looks at all of them through the unique window of Artificial Intelligence. It explores why these classic models often fail in the specific environment of an SME and offers a practical alternative: the AI Agile Change (AAC) Framework . Instead of abstract theory, this guide uses a continuous narrative of stories and practical examples to make the concepts stick , giving you a clear path to navigate the human dynamics of AI adoption.
