    Transformation is not a product

    TransformationOrganizational design
    by Bianca J. Schulz

    Does it strengthen or weaken the organization when individual business units, departments or teams become more productive through AI?

    The overall system is weakened by isolated optimizations when

    • no one thinks from the outset about the roots and vision of the company and how AI can help strengthen that connection,
    • the mission of how AI should be used does not serve the benefit of customers and employees,
    • it is unclear how the individual initiative is meant to scale into the broader organization,
    • there is no idea how to tell whether an AI initiative was successful and no criteria for deciding when to stop it and how to do so without losing face,
    • it is unclear how individual learning is turned into a permanently learning organization.

    That is why, in a transformation, I work with both top management and the teams.

    It has to begin in both places at the same time and be orchestrated so that everything interlocks.

    There are countless methods out there, and with my experience I can pick the right ones together with you.

    Every organization is different. I deliver exactly what you need, tailored to your specific situation.
