AI Change Management: A Human-Centric Approach
Cohere, Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026
Cohere argued AI adoption needs its own change-management approach, treating AI as a participant to onboard, not just a tool.
Cohere published a piece arguing that AI deployment requires a distinct change-management approach beyond typical software rollouts, treating AI as 'a participant to be onboarded' into existing workflows rather than a simple tool.
It says effective adoption means reshaping roles so employees shift from executing tasks to directing AI outputs and handling judgment-heavy decisions.
The article recommends designing human-AI workflows around complementary strengths, building adaptive governance frameworks similar to people management, and guarding against low-quality 'AI slop' through active oversight. It stresses that scaling AI enterprise-wide needs clear communication and regular measurement of impact.
