The System Is Live. The Results Aren’t.

How to Assess How Much Change Your Business Can Handle—From Excel to AIBy Andrzej PawłowskiRecorded Track
Length5h 39m

About this audiobook

Narrated by Alex, an authorized replica of a narrator’s voice, generated by artificial intelligence. The company has bought the system. The team has been trained. The project is closed. A year later, the report that matters still comes from a spreadsheet someone pieces together after hours. Andrzej Pawłowski examines the decisions that determine whether a new tool changes how a business operates: who owns the process, what employees stand to lose, how much time learning really takes, and what happens when several sensible projects land on the same people at once. The audiobook includes the Change Capacity Scan: thirteen main questions, four red flags, and six questions to check with your team. For anyone who has a working system and is still waiting for a better way of working.
