Your enthusiasts will adopt AI anyway. Success depends on the practical majority, who need proof, help and a reason.
Early adopters
Already Experimenting
Curious and self-starting. Give them approved tools and make them your champions.
The majority
Waiting For Proof
Pragmatic and busy. They need examples from their own work and easy training.
Late adopters
Need It Built In
Sceptical or overloaded. They adopt when it's part of the workflow and their peers use it.
Enthusiasts start it. The majority sustain it.
