Team leadership - AI adoption
Name Three People Using AI This Week
You bought the seats and sent the email, and it's still just you and one keen person. This short course gets AI off the shelf: one painful task, one pilot, one win, so a whole team actually changes how they work.
- About 40 minutes
- 6 modules and a closer
- Growth level
- Self-paced
- Free course
Built for exec pastors, ministry and ops leaders, and small-team leaders rolling a tool out to a team. Tool-agnostic, works whether your team runs Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini.
This course is free. It's part of ChurchAcademy.
From the team behind Fluro, used by hundreds of churches, now part of Subsplash.
The tool was never the problem. The rollout was.
You did the responsible thing. You bought the licences, sent the "AI is here, please start using it" email, maybe even ran a training day. It is now three months later. You use it. One keen person uses it. Everyone else nodded, went back to their inbox, and quietly never opened it again.
You have shelfware, not a team that works differently. Worse, a couple of people are scared to say they are not using it, and one thinks the whole thing is a threat to their job.
Nobody handed you a structured, human way to close the gap between a licence and a changed habit. That is the whole problem, and it is fixable.
This course is for you if
- You bought everyone a licence, sent the launch email, and three months later only you and one keen person actually use it.
- You are paying for seats nobody sits in, and renewal is coming.
- You are about to send a "from now on everyone has to use this" email, and something tells you it will backfire.
- One person on your team has gone quiet on it, and you suspect they are scared it is coming for their job.
What you'll walk away able to do
Licensed vs adopted
Measure real usage by names and tasks, not seat counts, and know why most rollouts stall on people, not the tool.
Pick the pain, not the tool
Pick one painful workflow, one pilot person, and a one-sentence win, instead of rolling out AI in general.
Model before you mandate
Use the tool yourself, in the open, before asking anyone else to, and turn a mandate into an opt-in pilot.
Handle the four fears
Name replacement, cheating, safety and accuracy, and script an honest answer to each, so it is safe to say you use it.
Make it a habit
Turn a pilot win into an anchored daily habit, and remove the old way so the new way becomes the default.
What you'll learn
Two things you keep
The One-Workflow Rollout Card
A one-pager you fill in before you touch the tool. The task, the person, the one-sentence win, the two week pilot dates, with the stop rule built in.
The 30-Day Adoption Rollout Plan
Your chosen pilot, your model-it-first commitment, the daily-use habit trigger, the four fears script, and the names-by-week adoption tracker that counts usage, not licences.
How it works
- 1
Enroll in the course, free to start.
- 2
Take about forty minutes. Six short modules and a closer, one at a time, on your phone.
- 3
Fill in the Rollout Card, run your two week pilot, and count who used it this week by name.
What changes in the first 30 days
- You can name three people who used AI on a real task this week, and name the task, without checking a dashboard.
- One workflow is treated as "just how we do this now."
- The team member who was scared has used it at least once.
- An adoption tracker exists and shows weekly usage, not licence counts.
These are the course's design goals, not a performance guarantee.
We have watched good rollouts stall too
ChurchAcademy builds short, practical training for the moments leading a team actually throws at you. This course is operator to operator, from someone who has rolled tools out to teams and watched most rollouts fail the same way. No hype about AI changing everything, no fear about it taking over, and no vendor to sell you. Just the card, the pilot, the fear script, the habit and the tracker.
