Here is what I do as a coach within the basic concepts of a change project
Collaboration
I will facilitate collaboration between team members by hosting brainstorming and planning sessions.
My tasks would include identifying areas where cooperation can be improved, providing training on effective communication and collaboration techniques, and monitoring progress towards goals.
External Expertise
I will help the company identify external experts who can provide guidance on AI implementation. My tasks will include researching potential experts or consulting firms with relevant expertise. I coordinate meetings between the experts and company leadership or teamsas needed.
I help to define the project scope and goals with input from both parties and I support monitoring progress towards achieving those goals.
Incremental Adoption
I will guide the company through a step-by-step process of gradually adopting AI technology into their existing workflows. My tasks will include assessing current processes to identify opportunities for automation or optimization using AI tools, creating a plan for introducing these tools incrementally while minimizing disruption to existing operations, providing training on new technologies as they are introduced, monitoring progress towards achieving efficiency gains or other performance improvements.
The overall benefit of having a coach throughout the AI adaptation process
- Improved clarity and understanding: The coach helps translate complex AI concepts into clear and relatable language for non-technical stakeholders. This enables effective communication, ensuring everyone is on the same page and reducing resistance to change.
- Enhanced collaboration: The coach fosters a collaborative environment by promoting effective communication within the AI team. This collaboration leads to increased innovation, better problem-solving, and smoother project implementation.
- Increased stakeholder buy-in: Through effective communication, the coach helps stakeholders understand the benefits and potential of AI adoption. This leads to greater support, engagement, and investment in AI initiatives, ultimately driving successful business transformation.
Milestones of a AI transformation project
Define the scope of AI adoption within the company

- Benefits: Employees grasp AI concepts in a language they understand, reducing confusion and resistance. Effective communication empowers employees to adapt to the changes and embrace AI as a tool to enhance their skills, rather than a threat to their job security.
Continuously iterate and improve upon deployed solutions
- I conduct regular feedback sessions with end-users, stakeholders, and the AI team to gather insights and communicate progress, challenges, and future plans effectively.
- Benefits: Open and constructive communication channels, allowing for valuable feedback and insights to be shared. This feedback loop helps to identify areas for improvement, increases user satisfaction, and maintains transparency and trust among stakeholders
