“95 percent of generative AI pilots at companies are failing.” 
Fortune, reporting on MIT research, 2025.
Not because the technology does not work.
But because decisions stall, ownership is unclear, and influence breaks down across functions.
AI change is not a technology problem.
It is an influence problem.

Change Does Matter Forum: The Influence Simulation

What is it?

The Influence Simulation is a live, interactive Change Does Matter Forum session built around a realistic AI governance scenario in collaboration with Business Simulations.

You will step into a complex organisational context where speed, risk, control, and value collide. Through a short business simulation, you will experience firsthand why influence without authority is so difficult and what actually helps move decisions forward.

This is not another webinar.
It is serious play designed to surface real behaviours, tensions, and insights.

The session is short by design and powerful by experience.

What we will explore

In this session, we will:

Explore why AI initiatives often stall despite strong intent.
Experience how informal power and stakeholder dynamics shape outcomes and what typically creates frustration in complex change situations.
Expand our approach with ideas that can unlock progress and alignment.

You will take part in two short influence rounds and reflect on what changes between them.

 

 

Who is it for?

This forum is created for mid to senior professionals involved in complex change, including.

  • Change leaders and practitioners.
  • Transformation, digital, and AI leads.
  • HR, OD, and communications professionals.
  • Project and programme leaders.

If you are expected to drive progress without clear authority, this session is for you.

How does it work?

We meet live for 60 minutes.

We will guide you through a focused influence simulation based on a realistic AI governance scenario. You will make decisions and reflect with your peers and capture one clear insight you can apply immediately.

Very few slides.
No preparation.
Real dialogue based on our online simulation, and practical learning.
