Most organisations don’t have an AI adoption problem. They have an AI translation problem.
Gallup’s May 2026 data on US employees shows the gap. 47% say their organisation has integrated AI tools. Only 25% say their organisation has communicated a clear plan for integrating it.
Among employees in organisations that have implemented AI, 65% say it has improved their productivity. Just 14% strongly agree it has transformed how work gets done.
Companies are adding AI to existing workflows, not redesigning them.
The difference sits with the manager. Employees who strongly agree their manager supports AI use are 1.7 times as likely to use AI a few times a week or more, and 8.7 times as likely to say it has transformed how work gets done.
A corporate AI strategy doesn’t redesign work. Managers do.
That is where coaching earns its place. Not another AI course, but sustained support for the managers who have to change how their teams work.
