01 · THE AI GAP

You rolled out the tool. Nobody changed how they lead.

Training programs teach buttons. They don’t address the mindset shift, the org resistance, or the shared vocabulary that makes adoption stick. Adapt is the change management layer your AI strategy is missing. The broader map for that work is AI-ready leadership. If you are still deciding what kind of platform sits after the workshop, start with platforms for AI adoption.

02 · THE APPROACH

How Adapt works

AI adoption is a people problem dressed as a technology problem. Adapt works on all three layers at once.

How does Boon Adapt work?

01

Mindset before toolset

Start with the shift from fear to experimentation. From is it taking my job to what does my job become. The toolset matters, but the mindset is where adoption lives or dies.

02

Common language across the org

When 20 people get it and 380 don’t, adoption stalls. Adapt builds a shared vocabulary so adoption spreads beyond the early adopters.

03

Real use cases from each participant’s role

Every participant walks away with something they actually built. Tangible use cases drawn from their real role. The kind of thing that makes a skeptic say, okay, I get it.

03 · YOUR FACILITATOR

Who facilitates Adapt?

Michelle Kraemer, with 25+ years leading through technology transformation.

Michelle has spent her career in the middle of exactly this kind of moment. She led the team that merged print and digital sales at the New York Times. At Salesforce, she helped enterprise customers navigate platform transformation. At Google, she built the first marketing analytics solution for Google Cloud. At Stripe, she led product strategy through rapid scale.

She’s not teaching AI from a textbook. She’s coached leaders through four waves of technology disruption and knows what it takes to move an organization from this is terrifying to this is how we work now.

04 · WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for the people holding the hardest part.

AI transformation lands differently depending on where you sit. Adapt is designed for the four people most often stuck between the vision and the reality, and pairs well with the AI playbook People teams are actually running.

CEO / AI champions

Your team has not caught up

You’ve been using AI daily for months. You can feel the gap widening between your vision and what the rest of the org is doing. You don’t need another strategy deck. You need someone to bring your people along.

CHRO / Head of People

Pressure from the board and from employees

You’re caught between executive mandates and employee anxiety. Training programs feel insufficient. Adapt gives your people a structured, coached path from overwhelm to fluency.

Head of L&D

You’re being asked to lead a transformation you’re still figuring out yourself.

Nobody handed you a playbook for this. Adapt gives you one: a facilitated, measured program you can point to when the C-suite asks what L&D is doing about AI.

COO / Division leaders

Adoption is uneven. Some teams are thriving. Most are guessing.

You can see pockets of innovation but no consistent capability. Adapt builds common language and shared use cases so adoption scales across the org, not just in the teams with early adopters.

05 · WORKS WITH YOUR STACK

Pairing Adapt with other programs

Adapt works on its own. But paired with the rest of Boon, AI fluency stops being a one-time program and becomes part of how your managers lead and how your leaders think. Most teams start with one pairing. The rest compound.

Pair with Scale

1:1 coaching for every Adapt participant, so the mindset shift keeps going.

Pair with Grow

Build AI fluency into manager development.

Pair with Exec

Confidential coaching for senior leaders navigating the strategic side of AI.

Pair with Together

Team workshops and team coaching to move whole groups through the shift at once.

06 · HOW MUCH

Custom-designed. All-inclusive.

Every Adapt engagement is built around your team, so pricing reflects cohort size, duration, and organizational complexity. Facilitation, 1:1 coaching, use case toolkit, and measurement are all included.

FAQs

Training teaches tools. It doesn’t address the mindset shift, the organizational resistance, or the lack of shared language that prevents adoption from sticking. Adapt is coaching-led change management. Every engagement is co-designed around your team’s real blockers, with 1:1 coaching between sessions so the shift happens at an individual level.
A typical Adapt engagement runs 6 to 12 weeks, depending on cohort size and organizational complexity. The program is designed for durable change. After the cohort, the use case toolkit and frameworks live on for future groups.
The sweet spot is 15 to 24 participants per cohort. Ideal participants are managers and team leads who are responsible for cascading AI adoption in their teams. We also run executive-level cohorts for leadership teams navigating the strategic side of transformation.
Yes, and it’s more effective when it does. When Adapt participants also have a coach through Scale, the mindset shift compounds. When paired with Grow, AI fluency becomes part of manager development. Adapt is designed to plug into the full Boon system.
Three ways. Adoption metrics (are people actually using the tools after the program). Use case output (tangible artifacts each participant creates). Qualitative shifts measured through pre/post assessments on confidence, experimentation mindset, and cross-team collaboration around AI.
Yes. Boon handles nudges, session prep, and follow-through in Slack and Microsoft Teams, so coaching shows up where people already work. Between sessions, participants get a summary of goals and action items, resources suggested for their focus areas, and AI roleplay practice tied to coaching goals. Employees can also use Boon inside AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to prepare for sessions and rehearse conversations.
Their development history and goals carry forward, and they can keep their coach where the next program allows. Boon's five programs (Scale, Grow, Exec, Together, and Adapt) run on one platform and cover every level, from individual contributor to C-suite, so a promoted participant moves into the next program with the context they have already built.
