AI Adoption for complex organizations
Everyone is investing in AI. Few are seeing the results they were hoping for, and the more complex the organization, the wider the gap. We work with organizations that are matrixed, international and often in the middle of a transformation, and make AI part of how the whole business is run, from the executive team to every team.
Why AI investments stall
Licenses get bought and pilots get launched, but the way the company runs stays the same.
Pilots without a path
Experiments run in pockets of the organization, but nobody decides which ones to scale.
Productivity, not impact
People write faster emails, while planning, decisions and follow-up work exactly as before.
Everyone on their own
A few power users race ahead, while most teams are left to figure out AI by themselves.
How we make AI stick
The five building blocks behind our 300+ transformations, many of them built on WorkBoard AI, applied to AI across your whole organization. We work with the AI tools you already have and bring the experience of rolling out AI at scale.
A strong, documented process
We start with an adoption diagnostic: where AI moves your key results, which workflows to start with and what stands in the way. You get one clear roadmap, and the diagnostic fee is credited against the follow-on engagement.
Thoughtful change management
Leaders use AI themselves and explain why it matters, so every team sees what good looks like and adoption isn't left to chance.
Engaging, high-quality workshops
Teams redesign their own workflows and set up the AI tools and agents they need. No programming, no data platform projects.
Robust training
Practical training for everyone, from the executive team to the frontline, built around real work instead of generic prompting tips.
A dedicated team and community
AI champions in every function keep adoption going, and we track usage and results against your OKRs, so you know what works and where to scale next.
The result is AI that your whole organization uses to run the business.
What working with Wave Nine is like
“Wave Nine went above and beyond the requirements set in our contract. They were available 24/7, and the 260 employees who dealt with them were on a first-name basis with the Wave Nine team members.”
Craig Snaguski, Chief of Staff, Marvin
“I was impressed by the Wave Nine team’s engagement from the start. They were highly responsive, and they worked to understand our business. They came to serve as an extension of our company.”
Larry Sanford, VP Operations, GetSetUp
“Wave Nine’s dedication was amazing. We really didn’t want to bring in a company that would just hand us some templates and call it a day. They went out of their way to understand our business needs, landscape, and strategy.”
Agnieszka Hyla, Talent Development Head, iDeals

Complex organizations: typically matrixed, international and often in the middle of a transformation, where AI has to work across functions, countries and levels, not just for individual productivity. We work across the whole organization, from the executive team to every team, usually sponsored by the CEO, COO, Chief Strategy Officer or HR.
