1:45 PM Workshop L: AI Enablement 2.0: Building an Enterprise-Wide Workforce Transformation Program

As AI adoption matures, many organizations are discovering that technology is no longer the primary challenge. The real barrier is enabling employees to understand, adopt, and apply AI in ways that are meaningful to their role. In this interactive workshop, Taylor shares energyRe's AI Enablement 2.0 framework, including how the company is measuring adoption, developing AI fluency, and creating personalized pathways to move employees from experimentation to transformation.

• Build an AI enablement program that drives behaviour change, not just tool adoption, including practical approaches to AI fluency, hands-on training, and department-specific use cases
• Learn how to identify, measure, and accelerate AI adoption across the workforce, using maturity models, engagement metrics, and targeted interventions for both non-adopters and power users
• Discover how to uncover high-impact AI use cases at scale, moving beyond surveys and generic training to role-specific coaching, workflow analysis, and employee-led innovation

TAKEAWAY:
Develop a practical approach for measuring AI readiness and adoption, building role-specific AI capabilities, and moving employees from initial experimentation to meaningful changes in how work gets done.
