Lead with AI PRO

When it comes to AI, most organizations don’t fail because the technology doesn’t work. They fail because people don’t feel ready.

In BCG’s latest research, 96% of executives report positive emotions about AI, but only 63% of employees do. That “optimism gap” reveals a deeper challenge: AI adoption is as much an emotional journey as a technical one.

In this Masterclass, Debbie Lovich, BCG Managing Director and Senior Partner, will unpack how emotion, trust, and employee centricity drive the success or stall of AI adoption.

Drawing from the 2025 BCG × Columbia Business School study and her decades of research on joy and productivity at work, Debbie will share how leaders can bridge the “optimism gap” between the C-suite and employees and lead with understanding, not just direction.

Debbie will walk us through:

  • Key findings from the BCG×CBS Study: What distinguishes AI-ready organizations and how to apply these insights.
  • Real-world case studies: Stories of organizations that built employee-centric AI cultures and those that didn’t.
  • Live interactive Q&A: Your chance to apply the insights directly to your organization.
