What you’ll walk away with

Most AI strategies stall not because the technology isn't ready — but because leadership behaviors haven't caught up. This session changes that.

Find your hidden AI champions. Discover what Atlassian learned by redefining "AI superuser" three times in 18 months — and why the employees driving the most AI value are rarely who you'd expect. Learn how to identify your organization's "glue roles" before your competition does.
Lead by example, not by mandate. Hear directly from Atlassian executives on how visible leadership behavior is the single most powerful driver of team-wide AI adoption — and what that looks like in practice across real workflows, meetings, and decisions.
Stop measuring the wrong thing. Walk away with a new framework for measuring AI adoption that goes beyond usage percentages — and a 30-60-90 day action plan you can take back to your leadership team immediately.
