How to Prepare Your People to Unlock AI in Your Business
The shift towards AI-enabled organisations is not just a technology transition. It is a people, leadership and operating model challenge. Ian Gaylard and Avinash Darisa of Infosys explore how energy businesses can prepare their workforce to unlock AI value, while addressing the cultural, organisational and governance barriers that often slow adoption.
Centred on Infosys‘ AI-ready playbook, the session examines the key foundations required for enterprise AI transformation. These include strong executive sponsorship, trusted data, scalable technology, the right partner ecosystem, and a workforce equipped with the skills and confidence to use AI safely and effectively.
The discussion also looks at the human-centred obstacles that can prevent AI from moving beyond pilots and isolated use cases. Skills gaps, low trust, change fatigue, leadership readiness, knowledge loss and work that has not been redesigned all create friction when organisations attempt to scale AI across complex operations.
For oil and gas companies, the opportunity lies in moving towards an operating model where AI is embedded into day-to-day work, data is treated as a strategic asset, governance is clearly defined, and roles are redesigned to combine human judgement with AI capability. This is the foundation for a more adaptive, AI-enabled organisation.
