Alignment Is a Strategy Decision, Not an HR Program
Treating AI alignment as a change management exercise is how companies end up with workshops no one remembers and resistance that never goes away.

When organizations recognize they have an AI alignment problem, the default response is to hand it to HR or internal communications.
The result: a town hall, a few FAQ documents, maybe a workshop. And six weeks later, nothing has changed.
The reason is simple: alignment is a leadership problem, not a communications problem.
Employees don't resist AI because they lack information. They resist it because they lack confidence in the direction — and that confidence only comes from watching their leaders behave consistently over time.
Effective AI alignment requires:
- A unified position at the executive level (not just talking points)
- Direct, role-specific communication that makes the abstract concrete
- Visible behavior change from leaders themselves
This is a strategic choice. It requires executive time and conviction. And it cannot be delegated to a function that doesn't have organizational authority.
