## Positioning (detail)
Most organisations now have AI access; few have AI adoption. Johannes Sundlo helps leaders and HR teams close that gap — moving from buying licences to changing how work actually gets done. The method: pick real workflows, keep a human in the loop, train people, and have leaders go first rather than delegate AI downward.

## Frequently asked questions
### What does Johannes Sundlo do?
He is an AI & Future of Work Advisor who delivers keynotes, workshops, trainings and change programs on practical AI adoption for HR and leadership teams.

### What is the adoption gap in AI?
The adoption gap is the distance between AI access and AI use. In Swedish HR (2025), 81% had employer-provided generative AI but only 25% used AI agents and just 33% had any formal AI training. Access is a procurement decision; adoption is a leadership one.

### How do you choose an AI keynote speaker?
Pick someone with real operating experience (not only theory), a practical and hype-free message, and the ability to make a mixed audience act. Ask for concrete adoption examples, how they tailor the talk, and the 2-3 takeaways the audience leaves with.

### What is the difference between an AI keynote and an AI workshop?
A keynote sets direction and inspires action for a large audience; a workshop turns that into hands-on skills and a plan for a smaller group. The strongest engagements pair both.

### How do you make AI adoption stick?
Build AI into real, daily workflows rather than running it on the side; keep humans in the loop; train people; and have leaders use it first. Measure adoption, not just access.
