The Hardest Part Isn’t the AI | The Human First Approach for Leaders Navigating AI Adoption
CareerJoy, in partnership with APEX, is proud to host a panel conversation on the human side of AI adoption in the public service.
Research shows that nearly 75% of roles in Canada’s public sector are highly exposed to AI technologies, meaning that almost every team, in nearly every department and agency, is already being affected. Yet many conversations within organizations remain focused on the tools themselves, rather than the people who must adopt, trust, and use them.
At the same time, studies consistently show that up to 70% of organizational change initiatives fail, and the reasons are rarely technical. They stem from resistance that goes unaddressed, communication that comes too late, and leaders navigating complex change without a clear roadmap.
In the public sector, successful AI adoption is not just a technical challenge. It requires leaders to guide their teams through change while maintaining trust, judgment, and accountability.
This panel brings together AI experts and public sector leaders who have implemented AI in their organizations to share lessons learned, practical strategies, and real-world insights on supporting teams through AI adoption while protecting the human core of public service.
This is not a theoretical conversation. Every insight shared comes from leaders who have navigated AI adoption within complex public sector environments.
