Too many schools are pushing AI without preparing people. This leads to stalled rollouts, policy panic, and cultural pushback. In this high-impact Campus/Expert Perspective session, repeat Tech Tactics speaker and workforce futurist Patrice Williams-Lindo unpacks the unspoken "power gap" sabotaging AI adoption across K–12 and higher ed. Drawing on case studies, human-centered frameworks, and visibility strategy, she'll share her proven RNA Method™ (Rebrand, Network, Achieve Recognition) to move your institution from reactive tech implementation to transformational leadership. Expect tools, not just talk—and an action plan to ensure your AI investments don't fail at the human layer.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the “power gap” that derails AI adoption even when tools and policies are in place.
• Apply the RNA Method™ to increase trust, inclusion, and visibility in tech-forward environments.
• Use a readiness rubric to assess institutional alignment between AI ambition and cultural capacity.
