It can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimize tailored communications to different stakeholders, even based on things like their openness to change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create personalized training materials for every individual, showing them how their role fits into the bigger picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop best-practice KPIs and incentives to encourage enthusiasm, rather than resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And monitor feedback and sentiment at scale to help keep projects on track.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So AI isn\u2019t just about technology improvements\u2014it\u2019s about empowering people to embrace change. That\u2019s how you make projects succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are the key to digital transformation, and AI is the key to unlocking their potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizations are racing to adopt AI to improve business processes.
