Are your people ready for transformation?

If you are asking, How do we get our people to use AI well, you are in the right place. This is not a technology problem. This is a thinking problem.

Mindset & Transformation

I work with boards and senior leaders on the human side of AI integration‍ ‍

Getting your people to use AI well is not a technology problem. It's a thinking problem — and most organisations are solving the wrong one. They buy the tools and wonder why nothing changes. What changes people is understanding why the change matters to them. 88% of New Zealand organisations using AI report a positive operational impact, but 79% of employers don't know how to train their people to get there. The gap isn't software. It's the human framing layer.

My approach is creative thought partnership, not tech training. I come at AI through human behaviour, institutional dynamics, and creativity — not the tech-sector lens — because that's where the resistance lives, and where the real gains are. I call the method cultural acupuncture: pressing on the nerve of a hard conversation precisely and productively, instead of detonating it.

My work includes:

  • AI education and workforce transformation for boards and senior leaders.

  • Workforce workshops to reframe AI as a creative partner, addressing mindset shifts for your people.

  • Advisory support for workforce planning, role redesign and cultural reframing (internal communications) support to set your organisation up for an AI enabled future.

Integrating AI into your workplace only makes a difference if your people understand why AI is being introduced, how to use the models - and, crucially, how their roles will evolve as a result.


“The approach she has designed drives genuine inclusivity and questioning, a natural curiosity and acceptance of AI being an awesome tool towards a commercial mind shift, not just the training of individuals. I’d recommend her to any organisation serious about bringing their people along on the AI adoption journey.”

  • "Emily Broadmore delivered an insightful and motivating AI mindset workshop for the ACE community. Participants described the session as practical, thought-provoking and empowering, leaving with greater confidence and belief in using AI to enhance — not replace — their professional expertise."

  • “What stood out yesterday was reframing AI not only just as a productivity shortcut, but also as a thinking partner. Emily’s insights have just completely changed my approach to my morning commute!”

Do we share a worldview?

A shared worldview is critical to a successful partnership with the organisations and leaders I work with. We must both believe that AI integration starts at the cultural layer - the people layer - the ability for your human workforce to harness AI to the best of their abilities.

Rather than constructing policies and rolling out webinars, I embed myself into aligned organisations to support the workforce transformation planning and education of your people.

Creativity and cultural disruption is the framing through which we discuss transformation, drawing from an approach developed through years of working in soft power on the global stage and honing the ability to provoke with purpose for the greater good.

I find bespoke ways to support your organisation through cultural disruption that threatens existing staff hierarchies, challenges established ways of working and causes resistance from those who feel their professional work is threatened.
