How AI Gets Adopted (Or Doesn’t)

The signature story behind the 14%→80% headline

01

The Problem

An AI-powered automation system launched across global operations. Six months in, adoption was stuck at 14%. Leadership was ready to call it a failed investment.

02

The Investigation

Users weren't resisting AI — they were resisting change. Previous tech rollouts had failed, eroding trust. The system worked; the adoption strategy didn't.

03

The Approach

Recruited regional champions who understood local workflows. Redesigned onboarding around existing habits instead of ideal processes. Built local ROI dashboards so each team could see their own wins.

04

The Result

Adoption climbed from 14% to 80% within two quarters. The system unlocked $10M+ in annualized EBIT impact. Same AI, same features — different product thinking.

05

The Lesson

Adoption is a product problem. If your AI isn't used, it isn't finished.
