The ADOPT Method™
Align. Develop. Operationalize. Practice. Transform.
Five phases that turn AI-anxious organizations into AI-confident ones.
Not just training—lasting behavior change.

Why 95% of AI Initiatives Fail
The typical approach to AI adoption is broken:
"Use AI" — Treats AI like a tool, not a partner
"AI-First" — Puts humans second, creates fear
Training only — Teaches skills that don't stick
Pilot projects — Never scale beyond proof-of-concept
The ADOPT Method™ is different. It's built on behavioral science, not wishful thinking. It transforms behavior, not just capability.
95%of AI pilots fail to scale. Our clients succeed.
Five Phases. Lasting Transformation.
The ADOPT Method™ isn't just a training program—it's a transformation engine. Each phase builds on the last, creating lasting change that scales across your organization.
Inside Each Phase
ALIGN — Mindset Shift
"Before we teach skills, we shift mindsets."
Every transformation begins with alignment. ALIGN addresses the elephant in every AI conversation: fear. We don't just talk about AI tools. We transform how your team thinks about AI—from threat to partner, from replacement to collaboration.
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."
Pre-program + Weeks 1-2 (Accelerator) | 4-6 weeks (Transformation)
DEVELOP — Capability Building
"Learn to work WITH AI, not just use it."
This is where skills are built—but not in isolation. DEVELOP embeds AI capability directly into your team's daily work through hands-on, practical training. Every session applies immediately. Every assignment ships real value.
What Happens
Foundation (Weeks 1-4)
AI fundamentals & security
Deep research & agent mode
Prompt engineering & projects
Custom GPTs & collaboration
Process (Weeks 5-8)
Department-specific workflows
Data processing & reporting
Document analysis & review
Advanced integrations
Advanced (Weeks 9-12)
Multi-step workflows & agents
Multi-platform coordination
Team collaboration & scaling
Innovation Competition prep
Outcome: Your team has practical AI skills applied to real work—not just theory.
Weeks 1-12
OPERATIONALIZE — Ship Solutions
"Theory into practice. Prototypes into production."
OPERATIONALIZE is where learning becomes doing. Through the Innovation Competition (Accelerator) or strategic builds (Transformation), teams ship real AI solutions—not homework assignments. This isn't about passing tests. It's about producing value.
Innovation Competition (Accelerator)
Teams of 3-4 choose their own challenge
Progressive milestones at weeks 4, 8, 12
Build prompts → prototypes → production
Final presentations & judging
Strategic Builds (Transformation)
We identify high-impact use cases from ALIGN audit
3-5 solutions built with implementation support
Integration with existing systems
Governance-approved deployments
Outcome: 3+ AI solutions shipped to production by program end.
Parallel throughout (Accelerator) | 8-12 weeks (Transformation)
PRACTICE — Form Habits
"Training teaches skills. Practice makes them permanent."
Most AI training fails because skills fade. PRACTICE ensures they don't. Built on behavioral science (the 66-day habit formation research, not the 21-day myth), PRACTICE turns AI collaboration from conscious effort to automatic behavior.

The 6-Week ROI Guarantee
If you don't see confirmed ROI by week 6, you don't pay the second half.
Outcome: AI collaboration becomes automatic, not aspirational. Documented ROI proves it's working.

TRANSFORM — Certify & Scale
"From transformation to transformation engine."
TRANSFORM is where individuals become certified AI Operators and organizations become certified AI-Ready. But it doesn't stop there. TRANSFORM establishes the governance, playbooks, and ongoing support needed to scale AI adoption beyond the initial cohort.
