Frequently Asked Questions About AI Adoption
The G.R.O.W. process typically runs 6-16 weeks, but here's the exciting part – many of our clients start spotting valuable opportunities in the first month. We begin with a 2-4 week discovery phase where we map out quick wins alongside your longer-term strategy. Then we move into implementation, with policy development and training (2-6 weeks), followed by solution deployment (2-6 weeks). This measured approach helps ensure sustainable adoption while delivering early victories to build momentum.
Security isn't an afterthought – it's built into everything we do. We use enterprise password managers to control who has access to what, and, when needed, we work with tools that meet serious security standards (like SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification). Your data stays your data, and we help you set up clear guidelines for how it should be handled. Think of it as adding a security mindset to your AI adoption journey from day one.
While every business is different, our clients see three productivity gains from AI adoption. Their teams save 4+ hours per week through AI-enhanced workflows and automation of routine tasks. Deliverables like proposals and analysis get completed 2-3 times faster with AI assistance. And teams dramatically reduce communication friction by accessing documented knowledge instantly through AI assistants rather than waiting for responses. But the real value comes from what your team does with this time – they can finally focus on the strategic, creative work that drives your business forward. During our discovery phase, we'll identify the specific productivity metrics that matter most for your organization and set up clear ways to track your team's enhanced effectiveness.
We take a "show, don't tell" approach. Instead of just talking about AI's benefits, we help your champions demonstrate real wins that make everyone's work life better. Our training focuses on practical applications that enhance people's jobs rather than replace them. Think of AI as a powerful assistant that handles the tedious stuff, letting your team focus on what they do best – using their creativity and expertise.
While we've helped everyone from creative agencies to engineering firms, our G.R.O.W. framework particularly shines for mid-market businesses with lots of knowledge work, complex workflows, or data-heavy processes. The key isn't your industry – it's having opportunities to streamline operations and enhance decision-making through thoughtful AI adoption.
We believe in building sustainable AI capabilities within your organization, not creating dependence on consultants. We help your champions become in-house experts through comprehensive training that evolves with your needs. While your team grows more confident with AI tools, we're there to ensure everything runs smoothly – from regular check-ins and additional training sessions to maintaining deployed solutions.
For custom solutions, like Automations, Assistants, and CoPilots, that we've implemented, we provide ongoing technical support and help you explore new opportunities as they arise. Think of us as your long-term AI success partners: we teach your team to excel independently while remaining available whenever you need additional guidance or support.
Instead of getting lost in technical complexity, we focus on practical business outcomes. We build your team's capabilities alongside implementing tools, drawing on our cross-industry experience to identify proven solutions while tailoring them to your specific needs. Most importantly, we focus on sustainable adoption through careful change management and real-world training.
Not at all! Our framework is designed to work for organizations at any technical level. While having some tech-savvy team members can help, we focus on practical business applications rather than technical complexity. We assess your current capabilities and provide the right level of training and support to make your AI adoption journey successful.
We believe in measuring what matters. During the Game Plan phase, we work with you to define clear success metrics tied to your business goals. These might be time saved, process improvements, revenue impact, or other key performance indicators that make sense for your organization. We help set up simple tracking systems so you can see the impact and adjust course as needed.

What You'll Need to Get Started
Getting started with AI doesn't require a complete tech overhaul.

Core processes drive value
Companies seeing the biggest AI wins focus where it matters most - their main business operations. By applying AI to both core and support functions, they're seeing 62% more value than their peers.
Learning from the Innovators
Innovator adopters have shared their best practices for adopting AI:
Balanced focus on savings and growth
Top performers use AI to both cut costs and boost revenue. While others mainly focus on cost-cutting, these leaders are 4.5 times more likely to use AI across all business functions.
Quality over quantity in AI projects
The most successful companies actually pursue fewer AI initiatives than others - but they choose carefully and execute well. This focused approach leads to twice the expected ROI in 2024.
People first, technology second
Winners follow the 70-20-10 rule: 70% of resources go to people and processes, 20% to technology and data, and 10% to algorithms.
Early adopters of generative AI
Leading companies combine traditional predictive AI with generative AI, moving quickly to leverage new capabilities in content creation and system orchestration.
