In this episode, I sit down with Laura Gramling, President of Enspark Consulting, a 25-year organizational development veteran with a refreshingly grounded take on why AI transformations stall, and what to actually do about it.

We cover Laura's two-part consulting philosophy:

• Tapping into the wisdom of every voice in the organization, and leading with a strength-based approach to change
• How she applies it to help leadership teams cut through the noise and build real alignment before touching a single tool.

We also get into the nuances of where AI genuinely helps her work (short-form content scripting), where it falls flat (note-taking that misses the forest for the trees), and why she made a deliberate decision to keep human consultants in the room for client interviews, even when vendors offered her a cheaper AI-powered alternative.
