In this Humanizing the Digital Revolution session at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Brian Glaser and Selin Song, moderated by Stephen Ibaraki, discuss what it takes to lead people and organizations through AI-driven change.
The conversation focuses on leadership behaviors that accelerate adoption: moving beyond command-and-control, creating the conditions for exploration, building trust, and giving teams permission to experiment, fail, learn, and share. The panel also examines why AI narratives framed only around productivity and efficiency can increase anxiety, and why leaders must communicate the “why” behind change.
Key Takeaways:
• AI adoption is a leadership challenge that requires trust, permission, and learning culture.
• Organizations cannot reinvent faster than their leaders.
• The most effective AI change narratives emphasize purpose and possibility, not only efficiency.
