Dealing With AI Sceptics In Your Team

At Ghyston, we've been taking a deep dive into lots of our clients' teams, assessing how they're using AI in their software engineering. And what we're finding across the board is that there's quite a gap - between the people leaning into AI software development the most, and those who are really quite sceptical of it, or fearful of it. What's interesting is how to handle that gap, and how to help bring a team together around it.

Here are the signs worth paying attention to.

What an AI Maturity Assessment for Software Development Teams Actually Involves

AI maturity assessments are talked about a lot right now. But if you've never been through one, it can be hard to know what you'd actually get at the end of it, or whether it would tell you anything you don't already know. Arun Mundray, CTO at Kallidus, put it well: the rapid pace of AI adoption in engineering has made it harder than ever to objectively assess where your team actually stands. That's exactly the gap a good assessment is designed to fill.
