Companies have spent roughly $40 billion on AI and 95% have seen zero measurable impact on profits. At the same time, employee engagement just hit its lowest point since 2020. (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2026)

We need to talk about how to fill this gap.


Here’s what we’ll cover during our roundtable:

  • What companies are getting wrong as they roll out AI tools and how it's quietly eroding culture.

  • How to protect and develop the human skills AI can’t replace, like critical thinking, judgment, and connection.

  • What intentional AI adoption looks like in practice, from role redesign to keeping employees engaged through the shift.
