Episode 3 | The clock is ticking: Why AI refusal is no longer an option for logistics leaders

The clock is ticking: Why AI refusal is no longer an option for logistics leaders Technology now evolves every six months — but organisational transformation can take years.   This episode explores the urgent need to close that gap. The era of “wait and see” is over. Leaders must set a clear direction, reduce uncertainty and build cultures that can adapt as fast as the technology shaping them.   Episode highlights:   * The AI hard line: What it really means when employees refuse to use AI — and why non-adoption is becoming a career risk. * The new skills gap: How junior staff are rapidly overtaking senior leaders in applied GenAI capability. * Reverse Mentoring 2.0: Why executives are pairing with Gen Z talent to learn how to work with AI, not around it.  * Tech diffusion that works: Practical approaches for turning frontier AI into reliable, everyday logistics workflows. * Leading through uncertainty: How to manage workplace anxiety around AI and create a vision for the future, your workforce can trust. Guest: * Johna Mcintire, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble A wake-up call for leaders: meaningful transformation starts where your AI discomfort begins.
