The Challenge

Leading change in mid-market or fast-growing companies is getting tougher. According to Bloomberg, 70% of change initiatives fail to achieve their goals. The culprits? Lack of specialized resources, prohibitive costs of major consulting firms, and platforms that don't offer comprehensive change expertise.

Furthermore, the rise of AI presents both immense opportunities and new challenges. Businesses need to not only manage traditional change but also integrate AI effectively to stay competitive, automate tasks, and enhance productivity—often without the budget for large-scale AI projects or specialized internal teams.
