BCG says 70% of the value in an AI transformation comes from people moves, not the technology. That should change where you spend your attention. Most leadership teams are deep in tool selection and model choice, but the return is elsewhere. BCG lays out seven principles to consider: 1/ Agree on a few workflows, not "AI everywhere." Successful companies prioritise three or four use cases. Less successful ones spread across six or seven. 2/ Give managers a real say in redesign. Their roles change most, so let them shape how the work gets done. They run it better from day one. 3/ Treat take-up as earned. Only 36% of employees say they've been trained for AI work. How can you help the others? 4/ Measure how people actually feel. 76% of executives think their people are excited about AI. Just 31% of employees actually are. Run short pulse checks instead of trusting instinct. 5/ Build a fortnightly ritual. Structured reviews every one to two weeks can help keep focus and pace, rather than reacting ad hoc. 6/ Share stories and symbols, not just dollars. Frame AI as scaling what your people are good at, not doing the same work faster. 7/ Create momentum throughout, not just at the start. Visible small wins keep the rest alive. None of this needs a bigger budget. It needs leaders to spend their time on the part that drives the value. Which ones will you start acting on this quarter? ♻️ Repost to help someone get get value from their AI investments. 🔔 Follow Clare Kitching for insights on unlocking value with data & AI. 💎 Get more from me with my free newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/ghBtk6jR
