People aren't resisting AI. They're resisting being left out.

People aren't resisting AI. They're resisting being left out.


Recent data from Accenture's Pulse of Change 2026 confirms:


→ 81% of employees believe their leaders understand how AI impacts their work.

→ But only 20% feel like active co-creators in shaping that change.


(See the link to the study in the comments 👇)


It's not data from the other half of the world. The countries surveyed contains Switzerland, Germany, Italy and many other European ones.


And it's quite aligned with what I hear when working with leaders.


This kind of empathy without agency is really killing adoption.


→ And on top of this we see that employees who enjoy using AI and actively seek new ways to apply it are down to 17%. From 21% just months ago.


It's fair to say the problem is not technology. By far not.


We are dealing with a leadership problem.


AI change at its core is a human transformation. And bringing people into the conversation early enough beats the big AI budgets every time. Honestly. With a clear vision and the space to co-create.


Are your people shaping the change?
