Ep. 4: From AI Literate to AI Native – Navigating the New Normal with Karnoe Dorenbos
Date: 12th of January 2026
Hosts: Judith van Hoof & Sukie Kang
Guest: Karnoe Dorenbos

In this episode of Connected Conversations, Judith and Sukie are joined by Karnoe Dorenbos, an Agile Transformation Coach and Trainer at the Ministry of Defence. Together, they dive deep into the rapidly shifting landscape of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace.
It is no longer enough to simply know that AI tools exist. We are moving from a state of "AI Literacy" to becoming "AI Native" - a mindset where AI is seamlessly integrated into our daily workflows and strategic thinking. Karnoe introduces the new training curriculum from Connected Movement designed to help professionals and change agents navigate this hyper-agile reality.
Defining "AI Native": Why "digital native" is yesterday’s news and how the "new normal" is actually a state of constant, exponential change.

Beyond the Tools: Why AI adoption isn't a technology problem - it's a mindset, people, and process challenge.

The New Curriculum: A sneak peek into the AI Native Foundation and AI Native Change Agent courses coming in 2026.

Hands-on Learning: Moving away from "death by PowerPoint" toward experiential learning where you solve real business problems with AI in the classroom.

Personal Goals: The team shares their learning ambitions for 2026, from ballroom dancing to hardware engineering and sailing.

"The world will change from 'normal' to 'the next level normal' all the time. I think I am pretty ‘AI Native’, but in three months, it's already legacy. You have to change yourself all the time." — Karnoe Dorenbos
"We are still people. With all the AI and technology... we are not replaceable as human beings. The energy you get from learning together represents value you can never automate." — Judith van Hoof

Show Notes: Ep. 2 – How transformations succeed or fail.

In this episode, Judith van Hoof and Sukie Kang cut through the noise to discuss what a true business transformation really is. It's certainly not a project or programme.
We explore why clarity is paramount and how success hinges on a clear vision of the North Star—the intended destination that every employee and leader can align with. Crucially, we talk about the difference between leaders providing mere buy-in and actively engaging and role-modelling the desired behaviour, noting that a lack of proactive executive engagement is often the number one reason transformations falter.
Beyond vision and leadership, we dive into the practical factors that turn transformation into reality, including the importance of setting boundaries by using backlogs to reserve space for change-related work. This directly combats employee burnout from taking on change in addition to their day job. We also cover the critical people aspects, discussing how to address the twin anxieties of learning (will I be able to do my job?) and survival (will I still have a job?), which requires transparent communication and robust training to ensure people are not just enabled, but feel safe to succeed.
