Resistance to AI: Where Does It Come From and How Do You Get Everyone on Board?

Episode 3 28 August 2026 38 min In Dutch

Why does one colleague jump on AI with enthusiasm, while another would rather stick with what they know?

In this episode I talk with Barbara Wolters, AI Transformation Officer at Delaware. She built a complete internal transformation programme to make AI land well in the organisation. Not with a technology rollout, but with people as the starting point.

We discuss, among other things:

  • Where resistance to AI really comes from, and why it often has nothing to do with unwillingness
  • How Delaware works with AI accelerators: not techies, but people who know their team and work inside out
  • Why you don't need a technical background to be a good AI leader

A conversation for anyone who wants AI to land in a team without it feeling like something that is imposed.
