How are our people really using and feeling about AI?

AI Human Readiness Snapshot

An anonymous staff survey gives you evidence in three areas:

How your people are feeling about AI - confidence, curiosity, hesitation and concern.
Whether and how they are using AI, including informal use that may raise shadow AI concerns.
Their learning needs and the guidance and support that would help them use AI well.

Your Snapshot Report brings those findings together. The leadership debrief works through what they mean for your policies, learning and support, and where leadership attention is needed.

$4,800 + GST · up to 150 staff · Snapshot Report and 45-minute leadership debrief. Larger groups by agreement, with an adjusted price.

Why Sue

Strategic change leadership. 25 years leading transformation, crisis and reform in $50M to $3B organisations - including leadership through Black Summer and securing $500M for a statewide ambulance service redesign.
AI expertise. Formal study in AI strategy and safety, and firsthand experience of using AI on real work - deciding what to hand over, what to question and where judgement stays human.
A human-first approach. I'm a certified coach and facilitator. I create rooms where senior people can say what they don't yet know, with enough challenge to examine what they might be missing.
The lived experience. I've redesigned my own work and value in response to AI - so I know it's personal as well as organisational.

Frequently asked questions5 questions

How do we get the leadership team to a shared direction on AI?

Make the different starting points visible, then work through what they mean for your organisation. Firsthand AI experience gives the team something concrete to examine together - what is useful, what raises concerns and what needs a decision. The AI Leadership Circle for executive and senior leadership teams builds that understanding and judgement. AI Strategic Discovery helps you examine the strategic choices themselves.

How do we find out how our people are using AI?

The AI Human Readiness Snapshot asks your people about their use, experience, concerns and support needs through an anonymous survey. The report and leadership debrief show patterns across the responses, including activity that may not be visible in meetings. It gives you evidence to work from; it isn't a technical audit of every use.

Can you help us lead the change as well as build AI capability?

Yes. We can work through what needs to change in roles, ways of working, responsibilities and capability, and how your leaders bring people through it. A Human Readiness Snapshot can provide evidence of how your people are using and experiencing AI. We agree the scope around the change you need to lead.

How do we work out what AI means for our strategy?

Start with what your organisation is trying to achieve and the pressures it faces. AI Strategic Discovery examines how AI could change your options - the value you create, the way you work and the risks you carry. We work through where to focus, what to investigate further and what choices your leadership team needs to make.

Can I work with you individually?

Yes. Private AI Advisory is confidential one-to-one work for your own questions, responsibilities and decisions. You can build your AI practice, explore what it means for your leadership and work through choices you are not yet ready to take to the executive table.

Not sure what your next AI step should be?

Bring the challenge you're facing and what you'd like to achieve - in your own role or with your team. Let's work out what needs attention and the most useful next steps.
