Interview questions
1. They bought AI licences for 500 people and 40 use them. What do you do in the first two weeks?
What to look for: Goes to the real friction per team, not more generic comms; measures usage, not licences.
2. How do you design training people apply in their work and don’t forget in a week?
What to look for: Per-function training with living playbooks, not a generic "AI for everyone" course.
3. How do you actually measure adoption?
What to look for: Real usage and result per user, never seats bought or training attendance.
4. You collect a recurring user friction. What do you do with it?
What to look for: Closes the loop: takes it back to whoever builds the agents rather than filing it away.
Scorecard
- Adoption diagnosis — Measures real usage and result per team; separates non-use from misuse.
- Applied training — Designs per-function training with playbooks that update, not generic courses.
- Change management — Works resistance and fear with honesty; involves the affected teams.
- Closing the loop — Turns user friction into improvements for whoever builds.
Red flags
- — Measures success by training attendance or active licences.
- — Believes that if the tool is good, adoption "comes on its own".
- — Treats adoption as a launch email, not a sustained process.
