SPEAKING
What your AI rollout is costing
the people inside your organization.
Jennifer Harrity has spent 25 years inside organizations navigating big, uncomfortable transformations. She knows what leaders say about change, and she knows what employees hear. That gap is exactly what she speaks about.
Drawing on her work building one of the first holistic ESG practices at a U.S. accounting firm, Jennifer watched greenwashing erode trust with employees and clients who had believed the mission. Now she's watching the same pattern unfold with AI. Her talks give leaders and teams a clear, honest framework for what's actually happening inside their organizations, and what it takes to lead through it without losing the people they need most.
Her perspective is rare: she is not an AI technologist, and she is not a critic. She is someone who has sat at the table where transformation decisions get made, who has seen the human cost of getting it wrong, and who lived through her own version of that cost in ways most speakers won't talk about from a stage.
