Adoption friction scoring gives you a structured way to quantify the forces that slow down AI and cloud initiatives.

The score reflects the combined impact of skills, alignment, governance, integration, … Read more
Governance requirements shape how quickly AI and cloud initiatives move from concept to operational use. You see their impact in approval cycles, documentation expectations, risk reviews, and the way decisions flow through the organization.

Stakeholder alignment determines whether an AI or cloud initiative moves forward smoothly or gets stuck in cycles of debate, hesitation, and re‑prioritization. You see alignment in the way leaders communicate expectations, support decisions, and reinforce the purpose behind the work. When alignment is strong, teams move with clarity. When it’s weak, adoption slows because people … Read more
Tool integration friction shows up when new AI or cloud capabilities don’t fit cleanly into existing systems, workflows, or data flows. You see it in delays, rework, and teams switching between tools to complete a single task. Even when the technology is strong, poor integration can slow adoption because people don’t want to fight their … Read more
Skill requirements shape how quickly teams can adopt AI and cloud tools. You see the impact in the way people navigate new interfaces, interpret model outputs, and adjust their workflows. When the skill baseline is high, adoption feels natural. When the baseline is uneven, teams hesitate, escalate more issues, and rely heavily on support. This … Read more
