Are We Ready for the AI Transformation?
summary
John Deere is driving companywide AI by giving every employee agent access, embedding assistants in daily apps, and running continuous training tracks from Agent-in-a-Day to 401 classes. The three-phase framework Curiosity, Learning, Advocacy targets both innovators and the majority; results show 93% weekly AI usage and ~92% of developers using AI on 80% of their code contributions. Work changes include platform changes to make AI “easy,” a bimodal edge-to-core experimentation model, and a gate that prevents scaling every shiny tool.
