    The AI Transformation Framework: turn two workshops into a roadmap your team actually ships.

    A repeatable methodology, not a one-off engagement: it maps where your time actually goes, proves every recommendation against what people said in the room, and builds up from a quick automation to software you own. Get your own team certified to run it, or book GrowthHackers to run the first cycle with you.

    01
    Step 01 — Listen

    We time everything, not just discuss it.

    Two 2-hour workshops map your strategy and your systems. Then we sit with each department for 30 minutes and walk their actual work — inputs, outputs, process, knowledge, tools — timing every step along the way.

    Workshop 1
    Business needs & strategy — priorities, pain points, constraints, success criteria.
    Workshop 2
    Systems & data landscape — every tool, every data source, mapped by function.
    Deep-dives
    30 minutes per department, with the person who does the work — not the person who manages them.
    The 15-minute ruleIf a task takes more than 15 minutes and happens every week, it's a candidate — no scoring required to notice it. That single rule turns a workshop transcript into a shortlist before we've even left the room.
    02
    Step 02 — Strategize

    A roadmap that cites its sources.

    Every finding gets scored on impact, data readiness, and ease — each score citing the moment it came from. We plot the backlog on effort vs. impact, then sequence it into quick wins, strategic bets, and the things worth parking.

    Scoring
    Fixed anchors on a 1–5 scale, so a "4" means the same thing across every engagement.
    Sequencing
    Quick wins ship first. Strategic bets get scoped, not skipped.
    Sign-off
    One readout workshop — you see exactly why each item is where it is before we build anything.
    Evidenced, not vibesNo line on the roadmap earns its place because someone argued hardest in the room. Every priority traces back to a specific quote, from a specific session, that you were in.
    03
    Step 03 — Implement

    Build only as much as the problem needs.

    Not every fix needs custom software, and not every problem fits in an automation. We ship against the size of the task — starting simple, and only going further when the task actually demands it.

    Start
    Scheduled automations and routines — wired into the tools you already run.
    Prototype
    A real working app, built fast with an AI coding agent, validated by the person who owns the workflow.
    Production
    Hardened, monitored, and carrying real workload without anyone babysitting it.
    Measured against the baselineEvery build is judged against the time it actually saves — not whether AI was technically involved. If it doesn't get the task under 15 minutes, we go further, not louder.
    04
    Step 04 — Scale

    What works spreads. What's live is governed.

    Proven pilots roll out department-wide with a named internal owner. A usage policy ships alongside them — data handling, human checkpoints, and an escalation path everyone actually knows.

    Rollout
    Department-wide adoption, owned internally, not dependent on us staying in the room.
    Governance
    An AI usage policy — approved uses, data rules, human-in-the-loop, escalation.
    Quarterly refresh
    A lightweight re-run of Listen against whatever didn't make the cut last time.
    A backlog, not a binderThe roadmap gets revisited every quarter, not filed away after the kickoff deck. Priorities move. So does what's worth building next.
    Why it works

    Built so a skeptical exec — and your own team — can trust the recommendation.

    AI drafts. A human confirms.

    Every session is recorded and transcribed. AI drafts the findings, the scores, even the roadmap — but nothing counts as evidence until a named person checks it against the source.

    The 15-minute rule

    One concrete threshold, applied consistently: if it eats more than 15 minutes and happens weekly, it's on the list. Simple enough to use live, in the room.

    Right-sized, every time

    We don't sell a platform migration when a scheduled automation solves it, and we don't sell a shortcut when the task needs real logic. The framework decides, not the invoice.

    The build path

    From a scheduled automation to a platform capability you own.

    Automate

    Scheduled jobs and template-driven routines, wired into what you already run.

    Prototype

    A real working app, built fast with an AI coding agent, tested against your actual workflow.

    Productionize

    Hardened, monitored, and owned by a named person on your team.

    Own it fully

    Folded into your core systems as a capability that's genuinely yours, not ours.

    Certification

    Get certified in the AI Transformation Framework

    Train your own team to run the framework end-to-end — from Listen workshops through Strategize, Implement, and Scale — with credentials that mark Level I, II, and III mastery.

    GrowthHackers AI Transform Framework — Certified Level I

    Level I

    Facilitate Listen workshops: map strategy and systems, run department deep-dives, and surface candidates with the 15-minute rule.

    GrowthHackers AI Transform Framework — Certified Level II

    Level II

    Own Strategize and Implement: score opportunities with evidence, sequence the roadmap, and ship the first automations your team can run.

    GrowthHackers AI Transform Framework — Certified Level III

    Level III

    Lead Scale across the org: climb the D1–D4 ladder, productionize wins, and certify others so the framework becomes a lasting capability.
