AI is moving fast. But are organizations bringing their people along for the ride?

Julie Ann Whitten, founder of Julie Whitten Consulting and author of The People Stack: Why Change Fails (and What Actually Fixes It), will present “From AI Tools to Real Adoption: The People Stack for Lasting Change” at All Day AI on October 22, 2026.

Organizations are racing to deploy AI tools, agents, and new ways of working. But access doesn't equal adoption. Even the most sophisticated technology delivers little value when employees distrust it, work around it, or quietly return to old habits.

In this practical 30-minute session, Julie will introduce the People Stack, a five-layer framework built on Clarity, Alignment, Capability, Belief, and Sustainment, with Trust as its foundation.

Attendees will learn how to identify where AI adoption breaks down, recognize resistance as valuable feedback, and take practical steps to turn AI implementation into meaningful, lasting behavior change.

Because successful AI transformation isn't just about the technology. It's about the people.
