AI Won’t Save You If Your Team Doesn’t Want It - Fix the Human Problem

Описание: 95% of AI projects fail and it’s not because the tech doesn’t work. The real problem is human psychology, change resistance, and failed adoption frameworks. In this video, I break down the exact 3-step AI adoption system I’ve used in 12+ years of consulting to take companies from wasted investments to 85–90% adoption rates.

You’ll see:
A £180K AI case study that turned into a paperweight
How to handle Champions, Fearful, and Skeptics inside your org
A 12-week rollout plan that actually sticks
The psychology reframes that turn resistance into buy-in

If you’re building AI tools or leading change, this is your playbook for real adoption and ROI.

[ABOUT ME]

If you're new here — I’m Mansel.

In 2011, I left South Africa with nothing but a laptop and a digital piano.

I taught myself IT, broke into cybersecurity in London, and built two consulting businesses from scratch — one in cyber, one in cloud — scaling solo to $50K+/month.

Today, I run atomicOps — an AI consultancy based in New York — where we help mid-market companies turn AI chaos into scalable systems.

I also help AI Automation Experts escape underpaid gigwork and build $25K+/month consulting businesses using the same frameworks I used to scale mine.
