AI Literacy & Adoption · Switzerland

People do not resist AI.
They resist feeling
left behind.

Technology is not waiting for anyone. I give individuals and organisations the time, the language, and the confidence to move at a pace that works for them.

The Gap

The problem is not the technology.

Technology is moving faster than people can absorb it. New tools are released. New capabilities announced. New ways of working appear daily. It creates the impression that progress is constant and visible everywhere.

But when you step into real working environments, the picture is more nuanced. The gap between how fast technology evolves and how fast organisations can adopt it meaningfully — that is the real challenge.

“Humans decide adoption before technology does.”
“Exhausted”
At a round-table in March 2026, people described their feeling about AI in one word. Some said excited. Some curious. A few said exhausted. That word stayed with me.
01

Too much, too fast

Multiple tools. Multiple subscriptions. No clear direction.

02

Disconnected from real work

Adoption fails when it does not align with how people actually operate.

03

No psychological safety

Where people feel safe, adoption opens up. Where safety is missing, silence replaces curiosity.

About

I work in the gap.

I am Jacqueline Vo, an AI adoption and literacy consultant based in Switzerland. My work sits at the intersection of technology and human behaviour. I help individuals, teams, and organisations navigate the space between what AI offers and what people can actually absorb and use with confidence.

I have spent months in real working environments, sitting next to people as they work. Not in polished town halls. In real project meetings. In inboxes with 60 unread emails. In spreadsheets updated manually for years. That proximity shapes everything I do.

My belief is simple. No challenge is too small. Every question is welcome. We are all navigating the AI world together, and a very large portion of us are still finding our footing. That is not a weakness. It is where the real work begins.

“When you stay in the field long enough, you stop asking how to promote AI. You start asking where it helps today.”

From the Field

A moment that changed the room.

During one session, a senior manager reached for his phone and asked a simple question about recent work activity. The response appeared almost immediately. What followed was a pause. Then recognition. In a single view, work surfaced without a status meeting, without a report, without delay. He looked up and smiled. That moment mattered because it changed the room. Recognition became natural. Respect became visible. Adoption did not fail in the room — it waited for permission to continue.

Services

Not workshops. Real change.

Three focused offerings built around people and mindset. Each starts with listening. Every engagement is designed for your industry, your context, and your people.

For Teams

AI Literacy Workshops

Practical, jargon-free sessions that help your team understand AI, ask better questions, and build genuine confidence. Not a feature tour. A real conversation about what changes, what stays the same, and what your team needs to feel ready.

I start by understanding your team's current relationship with AI — where the curiosity is, where the resistance is. Then I design a session that meets them where they are.

What changes after
  • Team feels safe to explore AI in front of each other
  • Questions become concrete, not generic
  • Adoption becomes practical, tied to real daily tasks
  • People stop waiting for permission to explore
Format
Half-day or full-day. In person or remote. Role-specific content. Follow-up resources included.
For Organisations

Reverse Mentoring Programs

Structured programs pairing people close to the technology with those who bring deep industry knowledge. Both perspectives are valid. The challenge is they are often discussed as if they were the same.

Reverse mentoring works when the structure is right. I design, facilitate, and monitor the process so both sides grow. Younger colleagues share AI fluency. Senior leaders share strategic context. Neither leaves feeling behind.

What changes after
  • Generational gap becomes a bridge, not a barrier
  • Leaders feel confident asking basic AI questions
  • Younger members feel their knowledge is valued
  • Adoption spreads beyond the early adopters
Format
Program design, matching, facilitation, and progress tracking. Typically 8 to 12 weeks.
For Leaders

1:1 AI Adoption Advisory

Private sessions for executives and leaders who want to think clearly about AI in their context without the noise. No agenda other than yours. No pressure to move faster than makes sense.

Adoption is a process, not an event. These sessions are built around continuous learning, shared use cases, and feedback loops that create sustainable momentum.

What changes after
  • Clear view of where AI fits in your role and context
  • Confidence to ask the right questions of your team
  • Practical approach to communicating AI strategy
  • Adoption that feels led rather than imposed
Format
Ongoing monthly sessions. Confidential. In person or remote.

The Gap Between Progress and Reality

At a round-table on AI adoption, people described their feeling in one word. Some said excited. Some curious. A few said exhausted. This note explores what happens when we try to scale adoption while the gap still exists between those close to the technology and those still finding their footing.

Where Does This Help Today?

In February, I spent less time talking about AI and more time sitting next to people while they worked. In real project meetings. In inboxes with 60 unread emails. When you stay in the field long enough, you stop asking how to promote AI. You start asking where it helps today. That is the difference between hype and value.

What I Learned About Humans After 10 AI Training Sessions

Over ten AI training sessions in London, I watched teams encounter AI in real working conditions. The access was identical. The technology behaved the same. What shifted every time was human behaviour. Before anyone typed a prompt, the atmosphere already shaped the outcome.

Seven Questions

Is this the right conversation for you?

Check any that apply to your current situation.

Are we adopting AI to solve a clearly defined problem, or reacting to external trends?
Where do our users currently feel friction or uncertainty with AI?
Are we simplifying the tool landscape, or adding more complexity?
Can each role clearly describe how they use AI in their daily work?
Are we measuring real impact, or only activity levels?
Do people feel safe enough to explore AI openly in front of each other?
Is adoption spreading naturally, or depending on one or two enthusiasts?

“If any of these resonate, let us talk. That is exactly where the work begins.”
