It’s not a system rollout. It’s not a single skills program. It’s not a communication campaign. It’s a constant state of change. For HR, L&D, and People leaders, this creates a very real tension. Change is happening faster than organizations can absorb. Employees are overwhelmed and experimenting at the same time. Leaders are told to “drive adoption” without a clear playbook. And traditional change models? They feel too slow. Too linear. Too disconnected from reality. So the real question becomes: **How do we lead change when the ground keeps moving?** In this session, Ashley Gutierrez and Andy Riel will share what change management must become in the age of AI,  based on real organizational work, not theory. This is not about frameworks you print and forget. It’s about how to design readiness in a world where experimentation never stops. ### We Will Explore - **Why AI breaks many classic change assumptions** Linear roadmaps don’t work when technology evolves weekly. - **The mindset shifts HR & L&D leaders must make** From driving compliance → to building adaptability. From managing projects → to enabling capability. - **What not to over-engineer** Where structure helps,  and where leadership judgment matters more. - **Supporting overwhelmed employees** How to think about pace, trust, and human impact when change feels endless. - **What actually drives adoption** Hint: It’s not more training. You’ll walk away with: - A more realistic lens on AI-driven change - Clearer priorities for supporting leaders and employees - Insight into why adoption efforts stall - Practical thinking tools you can apply immediately - Confidence in what to stop doing   ### Who This Is For ✔ HR & People Leaders ✔ L&D & Talent Development Professionals ✔ Employee Experience Teams ✔ Change & Transformation Leads ✔ Managers navigating AI-driven change If you’re responsible for adoption, engagement, or capability building in 2026 — this conversation is for you. ### **About our speaker** ![Untitled design (4)](https://m.junojourney.com/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(4).svg) ### Meet Ashley Gutierrez ##### Global People Programs & Employee Experience | AlertMedia Ashley works at the intersection of talent development and people strategy, designing global programs across onboarding, leadership development, mentorship, engagement, DEIB, philanthropy, and culture.
