What these transformations have in common
CEO or COO personally championed the transformation. Not delegated to IT or consultants.
Teams willing to document reality, not ideal state. Acknowledged broken processes and workarounds.
Measured success by human elevation, not headcount reduction. People saw opportunity, not threat.
Committed to 12+ month vision. Didn't expect overnight results. Allowed time for adoption.
Invested in training, coaching, and capability building. Technology was only part of the solution.
Defined specific, measurable goals beyond "implement AI." Tracked human metrics, not just efficiency.
