AI Adoption: moving from individual habits to team standards, Q&A with Stephan Swart

Fractional CTO

Your team has access to AI tools. That doesn't mean they're using them well.

Stephan Swart has worked with engineering teams across multiple organisations as a Fractional CTO – and he keeps seeing the same pattern: AI tools get rolled out, engineers are left to figure it out alone, and bad experiences breed suspicion that quietly kills adoption before it ever gets deep.

Whether you're an engineering leader trying to get your team on board, a developer dabbling with AI but not sure you're doing it right, or an org that's deployed the tools but hasn't seen the results – in this webinar Stephan shares practical approaches you can apply immediately.

“Opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated.”

– Stephan Swart, Fractional CTO

🦖 Clarity creates safety: define boundaries, roles, and decision-making clearly
🦖 You can’t manage people, only the environment they operate in
🦖 Shared purpose is what separates teams that last from teams that just ship
🦖 Create space for learning: if it’s not built into the system, it won’t happen
🦖 AI amplifies fundamentals: good engineering practices matter more, not less
🦖 Adoption without structure = resistance, risk, and poor outcomes

📍 Online Webinar

Salary discussions are some of the most critical discussions to happen between managers and employees – but often the constraints are already set in company wide budget meetings.   

Managers who know how to advocate for their team members are better set up to navigate these budget conversations. A solid budget can make or break how satisfied your new hires and existing team members are with their compensation. To make matters even more complicated, salary is an individual experience that should be tackled on a case-by-case basis. 

Should you match a counter offer? Should team members with similar roles earn the same? Making mistakes when it comes to salary can be really painful and can cost you high performing team members in the long run.

In this event, we’ll deep dive into these challenges to set you up to win in salary conversations with your tech team.

Join the conversation with fellow tech leaders to delve into:

🚀 How to manage your salary budget and its impact on your team.
🚀 How to advocate for raises for your current team members.
🚀 How to benchmark salary according to the market with the latest insights from OfferZen’s State of the Developer Nation reports.
