Are we Behind on AI? What’s actually happening inside organisations right now

10 September 2026

On 9th September, we hosted a live webinar on where AI adoption really stands, not where LinkedIn says it stands.

Everyone’s talking AI strategy. Most organisations are asking the same three questions. Are we behind? What’s actually stalling us? What do we do next?

We brought together Julie Holmes, AI strategist and tech founder, and Erica Farmer, AI and future skills specialist and author of AI for People Professionals, for an unscripted conversation hosted by Raise the Bar Founding Director Steve Smith.

They talked through why the gap between AI investment and actual impact is rarely the technology. Tools get bought and strategies get signed off, but people decide whether any of it gets used. If your people don’t have the right guidance, skills and confidence to work differently, the investment sits unused.

Julie and Erica spend their weeks inside organisations at every stage of this, from stalled to genuinely ahead. In this session, they covered what they’re actually seeing on the ground, why adoption stalls even where strategy exists, and what separates the organisations making progress from the ones still talking about it.
