AI Won’t Fix Your Change Problem
The Change Signal with Andrew Kilshaw
Listen or Watch on:
Andrew Kilshaw has led transformation inside organizations like Nike, Sanofi, BlackRock, and Shell, and now works at the intersection of change and AI. He brings both experience and perspective — someone who’s seen what actually works when theory meets reality.
If you lead change in a large organization, you already know this: not everyone is coming with you. Andrew Kilshaw offers a practical way to work with that reality, breaking the organization into thirds and making the case that your job isn’t to win everyone over, but to build a coalition that creates momentum.
We also push on a deeper assumption about transformation. Most organizations don’t lack capability — they lack coherence. The ingredients are already there: leadership, data, people, and intent. The challenge is connecting them into something that actually works.
And then there’s AI. Not as a silver bullet, but as a layer that amplifies what’s already happening — better decisions, better insight, better coordination. Used well, it creates capacity and clarity. Used poorly, it just adds more noise.
This is a conversation about focus, judgment, and where to put your energy when everything is already in motion.
As I reflect on this conversation with Andrew Kilshaw, three questions stand out:
Who are you really trying to move?
What recipe are you missing?
Is AI saving you — or just augmenting you?
