In this episode of Beyond the Build, Shawn Johnston talks with Tyler Frans, founder and CEO of Sense of Motion, about what it really takes for organizations to adopt AI beyond the hype, experimentation, and one-off tools.

Tyler shares why AI adoption is less of a technology problem and more of an organizational and leadership challenge. The conversation explores what separates teams that are moving forward from those that remain frozen, and why trust, autonomy, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly matter more than having a perfect implementation plan.

They also cover:

  • How a human-centered approach changes the way organizations think about AI
  • What causes organizations to freeze when AI is changing faster than their systems and decision-making processes
  • How experienced people help guide AI beyond average output toward work that is useful, thoughtful, and relevant
  • Why leaders should start small, support the people already experimenting, and treat learning as the first step toward adoption
