Introducing AI is not a tool rollout. Introducing AI is a governance test.
Introducing AI is not a tool rollout.
Introducing AI is a governance test.
A convenient claim is doing the rounds online: ‘Middle managers block AI.’
Sounds plausible. It is wrong.
Middle managers do not block AI. They block ambiguity.
What I currently see in companies:
→ AI tools are introduced before the operating model is in place.
→ Pilot projects start without anyone defining who approves access to data.
→ A board member asks for use cases before clarifying decision rights.
The result: Middle managers make rational decisions. They wait. They protect themselves. They build their own reality for making decisions.
And the C-suite calls it ‘resistance to change’.
It is not resistance. It is the missing answer to three questions:
- Who decides on which AI risk?
- Who is liable for which wrong decision?
- Who escalates what, to whom, and within what timeframe?
Without those three answers, an AI initiative is not progress.
It is a stress test for your organisation.
Which escalation rule do you have for AI issues — in writing, not just in people’s heads?
