THE FRAMEWORK FOR HUMAN + AI TRANSFORMATION

The ADOPT Method™

Align Develop Operationalize Practice Transform.
Convert AI ambition into operating results.

Why AI Initiatives Stall Before Scale

The typical approach to AI adoption is broken:

  • "Use AI" directive

    Treats AI like a tool, not a partner in decisions.

  • Tool-first rollout

    Creates activity without clear process ownership.

  • Training-only programs

    Builds awareness, but habits fade without workflow practice.

  • Pilot-project mindset

    Delivers proofs of concept without a repeatable path to scale.

The ADOPT Method™ is different.

Built for implementation: behavior change, process ownership, and measurable outputs.

Human + AI

Real change takes time and it's not easy — but that's the point. ADOPT is built around behavior change and redesigning how your team works in the AI era, not just teaching new tools.

Phase A 01 / 05

Align

Mindset Shift

"Before we teach skills, we shift mindsets."

Every transformation begins with alignment. ALIGN removes ambiguity around goals, ownership, and success criteria before rollout starts.

What Happens

  • Pre-program surveys assess current mindset
  • Teams confront and address AI fears
  • Leadership alignment on goals and success metrics
  • Curriculum customized to your organization
  • Innovation Competition teams formed

Outcome

Your team moves from "AI might replace me" to "AI is my partner."

FAQs

Most training teaches tools. ADOPT changes operating behavior. We combine habit tracking, shipped solutions, and team accountability so adoption continues after training ends.

Yes. The methodology adapts to any industry. We've certified AI Operators in finance, marketing, operations, healthcare, and more. The principles of behavior change are universal.

Most teams see early indicators by week 4. Qualified accelerator cohorts run a week-six ROI review using predefined criteria. Full cohort transformation typically completes by week 12.

That's exactly what ALIGN is for. We address fear and skepticism directly, transforming it into curiosity and partnership. Some of our best AI Operators started as skeptics.

Accelerator graduates join our alumni community for ongoing support. Transformation clients get quarterly check-ins for 12-24 months. AI adoption is a journey, not a destination.
