## Phase 1 — Portrait of the resistant employee

Context: my client is introducing [AI initiative] in [describe the organization].

Task: help me sketch the employee who is most likely to push back against it.

Describe:
- their role
- what they fear about AI
- the rumors reaching them
- the words they use when they talk about the change
- what frustrates them day to day
- how they have already tried to resist
- where they let off steam (Slack, lunch breaks, 1-on-1s)

Close with a single summary paragraph that I will use as the basis of my strategy.

## Phase 2 — Change messaging strategy

Portrait of the resistant employee:
[paste the portrait]

AI rollout: [describe the rollout]

Task: help me build the full set of change management messages for this rollout.

Include:
- the core narrative that leadership will tell
- the specific value angle for frontline teams
- 3 distinct framings, one per employee tier
- the emotional triggers that bring resistance down
- the 5 main objections employees will have but not voice, each with the reply leadership will give

## Phase 3 — Internal communication channels

Context: my client is introducing [AI initiative] in an organization of [size].

Task: considering where employees really pay attention and how real change usually reaches them, recommend the 3 best internal channels for communicating the change.

For each channel, explain:
- why it suits this workforce
- which content performs best there
- how much investment it requires
- what success would look like

Then list the channels to avoid, with the reason for each.

## Phase 4 — 90-day adoption plan

Context: my client is introducing [AI initiative] in [team or function].

Task: build a full change adoption plan covering 90 days.

Include:
- adoption pillars aligned with how employees think and feel
- a week-by-week calendar of internal touchpoints (as a table)
- moments where leadership is visible
- the rhythm of training
- metrics that reveal genuine adoption, as opposed to compliance on the surface

## Phase 5 — Funnel from rollout to retention

Context: my client is introducing [AI tool] to [employee group].

Task: design the full adoption funnel, from the first time people hear about it to lasting everyday use.

Cover these stages:
1. how the first announcement is received
2. the campaign aimed at early adopters
3. the training sequence for managers
4. the moment of the mass rollout
5. the retention strategy that turns early usage into a permanent habit

## Phase 6 — Resistance risks and mitigation

Scope of the AI rollout:
[paste the scope]

Task: name the 7 largest risks of resistance in this rollout.

For each risk, state:
- where it appears
- who in the organization will raise it first
- the political price if leadership ignores it
- the precise mitigation wording I should build into the rollout plan, so the issue is handled before it surfaces
