I bring decades of experience in the human dynamics of technology change to help individuals, teams, and organizations to successfully navigate AI change. My work often begins where the path disappears. I dive into the rabbit hole of emerging technology and return with insights that help people understand what’s coming, what it means for them, and how to act on it. For over two decades, I’ve used this approach to help organizations navigate moments of disruptive change by translating complexity into actionable direction that advances business performance. This work is grounded in a belief I learned early: the future doesn’t belong to those with the best technology — but to those who know how to activate it. That insight took root at the start of my career, when I entered the field of change management just as it was emerging as a formal discipline. It was a pivotal time — one that revealed how profoundly behavior and culture influence whether new technologies take hold. AI now presents a greenfield opportunity to boost our natural capabilities — and to create beyond human limits. I’ve worked with AI pioneers since 2010, helping organizations to navigate this unique moment, harness AI to boost human performance, and to chart a path through an AI-driven future. I have seen how this new acceleration of AI is so different from past technologies that it's upending traditional playbooks for tech-driven change. This is why truly harnessing AI requires learning a new way to interact with technology, and a new approach to incorporating technology into our business processes and workflows. I bring decades of strategy, operations, and change management experience at the front edge of innovation to this work; it's this unique blend that most helps me support clients in navigating a future that is still unfolding. I am also a 2x best-selling author and keynote speaker at conferences around the world; my articles have appeared in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Venture Beat; over 100,000 students have taken the course I created for LinkedIn. I believe emerging tech holds great opportunity, but comes with great responsibility. There is challenging work ahead: I am honored to be a part of it.

"It's like my brain got an upgrade." "It's transformed how I solve problems." I wrote this book to help more people unlock the AI value that comes easily to early adopters. Over a year, I researched hundreds of early adopters to decode their secrets of success, and then transformed these powerful insights into a clear, proven framework that anyone can use to turn AI into their cognitive advantage. I was thrilled to see that the book reached #1 Bestseller in four categories, and #1 Top Release in ten, including Self Help, Technology, Creativity, and Business. Learn more at alisonmccauley.io
