Most organisations don't have an AI problem - they have a people adoption problem. This keynote explores the Capability Crisis: the widening gap between how fast AI is evolving and how ready organisations are to actually use it.

Drawing on her work advising CPOs, CHROs and senior executives through ThriveABLE AI's executive roundtable forums, and the frameworks she has developed through linkABLE's fractional People & Culture and L&D consulting, Sarah Stone unpacks why the technology itself is rarely the constraint - it's leadership, structure and workforce readiness.

Key themes include:

• Why AI is moving faster than organisational capability, and what that gap is costing businesses

• The shift from a technology problem to a people adoption problem

• The specific skills leaders will need over the next 24 months to stay ahead

• How to build genuine AI capability across teams without creating change fatigue

Attendees will leave with a clear-eyed view of where their organisation sits on the capability curve, and practical next steps to close the gap - grounded in Sarah's central message: the organisations that win won't have the best AI. They'll have the workforce that knows how to use it.
