ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Financial Services Scenario

$45M Revenue | 120 Employees | Wealth Management

73%

Burden Reduction

The Challenge

Client advisors spent 65% of their time on administrative tasks—data entry, compliance reporting, client onboarding paperwork. High-value client relationship time had shrunk to just 35% of their day. Growth was stalling because advisors couldn't handle more clients without drowning in admin work.

The Transformation Approach

Phase 1-2 (Weeks 1-12)

  • Mapped actual advisor workflows (not the official process)
  • Identified 23 separate systems advisors juggled
  • Documented compliance requirements in detail
  • Built integration layer connecting CRM, portfolio management, and compliance systems

Phase 3-4 (Weeks 13-24)

  • Automated client onboarding workflow
  • Built AI engine for compliance report generation
  • Created intelligent document processing
  • Deployed exception-based review system

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Manufacturing Scenario

$80M Revenue | 200 Employees | Custom Parts Manufacturing

67%

Burden Reduction

The Challenge

Order-to-fulfillment process involved 40+ manual handoffs across sales, engineering, production, and shipping. Each custom order required coordinating between 8-12 people. Order cycle time averaged 6 weeks, with most time spent waiting, not working. Errors in handoffs led to costly rework and missed delivery dates.

The Transformation Approach

Redesigned order fulfillment as continuous flow with exception-based human intervention. Built knowledge capture system extracting engineering expertise into decision engines. Automated routine approvals and status updates.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Healthcare Scenario

$25M Revenue | 85 Employees | Outpatient Specialty Clinic

Burden Reduction

The Challenge

Medical staff spent 70% of time on documentation, scheduling, insurance verification, and follow-up coordination. Only 30% of time with actual patients. Staff burnout was critical—turnover hit 35% annually. Patient satisfaction declining due to rushed appointments and scheduling difficulties.

The Transformation Approach

Automated patient intake, insurance verification, and appointment scheduling. Built clinical documentation assistance that reduced charting time by 60%. Created intelligent follow-up system that handled routine communications automatically.

Common Success Patterns

What these transformations have in common

Strong Executive Sponsorship

CEO or COO personally championed the transformation. Not delegated to IT or consultants.

Honest Current State

Teams willing to document reality, not ideal state. Acknowledged broken processes and workarounds.

Growth Mindset

Measured success by human elevation, not headcount reduction. People saw opportunity, not threat.

Patient Timeline

Committed to 12+ month vision. Didn't expect overnight results. Allowed time for adoption.

Change Management Focus

Invested in training, coaching, and capability building. Technology was only part of the solution.

Clear Success Metrics

Defined specific, measurable goals beyond "implement AI." Tracked human metrics, not just efficiency.
