Why Does Governance Feel Like a No? Change Fatigue and the Human Side of AI Transformation
Thursday 23rd April 2026
About
Governance has a reputation problem. Transformation does too. This session takes a humorous but honest look at what happens when vague transformation goals, change fatigue, and misconceptions about governance collide. Through cartoons, practical examples, and a people-centered lens, we’ll explore why governance so often feels like “no,” what good governance can actually look like, and why incentives, uncertainty, and conceptual fluency matter more than most organizations admit. This is not a fairy tale about perfect change. It is a realistic and hopeful case for governance as an enabler of better AI transformation.
Takeaways
- A fresh, memorable perspective on why governance and transformation so often go wrong
- A better way to think about change, incentives, and your own role in AI transformation
- Practical ways to make governance fit-for-purpose and more enabling inside your organization
