The divide between boardroom optimism and frontline reality has never been wider.
New data from a December 2024 Axios/Writer survey of 800 employees and 800 C-suite executives reveals a troubling disconnect in the rollout of AI across organizations:
- 73% of executives believe their AI strategy is working
- Only 47% of employees agree
- 59% of executives are actively exploring new opportunities at companies with stronger AI leadership
- 41% of Millennial and Gen Z employees admit to resisting or outright sabotaging AI initiatives
This isn’t a technology failure. This is a leadership and alignment failure.
While executives push forward with AI plans, many employees are confused, uninformed, or fearful. Resistance builds not because AI lacks potential, but because communication, transparency, and trust are missing.
At Strategic Growth AI, we see this daily. Companies aren’t failing at AI due to bad tech. They’re failing because of:
- Misaligned expectations between leadership and teams
- Top-down strategies with no operational buy-in
- Unaddressed fear, uncertainty, and fatigue within the workforce
This is where we come in.
We specialize in helping organizations bridge the gap between AI ambition and human adoption. Our consulting approach focuses on:
- Translating AI vision into operational clarity
- Driving cross-functional alignment between departments
- Equipping teams with tools, education, and context to embrace change
- Designing practical rollouts that foster momentum, not confusion
If your AI strategy feels stuck, stalled, or disconnected from reality on the ground, you are not alone. But you do need to act, because while your company debates, top talent is leaving, and cultural resistance is hardening.
We offer two tools to help you take the first step:
-
AI Readiness Assessment
A free diagnostic tool at www.strategicgrowthai.com to understand where your organization stands -
The AI Playbook
A practical guide for navigating AI rollout across business functions—with tips for managing change, aligning teams, and building a winning strategy
This isn’t just about digital transformation, it’s about culture, leadership, and the future of your workforce. The companies that get AI right will lead. The ones that ignore the warning signs risk fragmentation from within.
Let’s make sure your organization doesn’t become one of them.
