Organizations are racing to implement AI tools, agents, and new ways of working. But access doesn't equal adoption, and even the most sophisticated technology delivers little value if people aren't using it.

Join Julie Ann Whitten, transformation advisor and author of The People Stack: Why Change Fails (and What Actually Fixes It), at All Day AI for a practical session exploring the human side of AI transformation. Julie will introduce her five-layer People Stack framework and share how leaders can identify adoption barriers, decode resistance, build trust, and turn AI investments into meaningful, lasting behavior change.

Because successful AI transformation isn't just about implementing better technology. It's about helping people work differently.

At the 2026 CNY ATD Conference, Julie Ann Whitten will present Why Training Doesn’t Change Behavior, an interactive session exploring why completing training doesn’t always translate into lasting workplace change. Participants will learn how factors such as trust, leadership alignment, communication, capability, and reinforcement influence whether employees actually apply what they’ve learned, and walk away with practical strategies for moving beyond completion metrics to create measurable behavior adoption and business impact.

Join Julie Ann Whitten, author of The People Stack: Why Change Fails (and What Actually Fixes It), for an interactive Change Exchange designed to help you figure out where change is really getting stuck. Using the five layers of the People Stack—Clarity, Alignment, Capability, Belief and Sustainment, with Trust as the foundation—we’ll look beyond the symptoms of resistance to uncover what people may actually need to move forward. Bring a real change initiative, stakeholder challenge or adoption problem and come ready to share, learn from fellow practitioners and leave with practical ideas you can put to work right away.
