AI adoption & enablement: making AI work across your organisation

Organisations recognise AI's potential and invest in platforms, yet many struggle to achieve consistent adoption across their teams and departments. The biggest barrier is rarely technical: it's organisational. Successful AI adoption requires bridging the gap between technical capability and practical implementation. We specialise in this intersection, combining AI platform delivery with structured adoption programmes.

  • Structured AI programmes: phased approach from quick wins to enterprise-wide adoption

  • Integrated delivery model: AI literacy and adoption delivered alongside platform deployment

  • Hackathon methodology: Collaborative format that builds internal support for your next AI phase

  • Cultural transformation: Moving from scattered AI experiments to a shared AI working culture across your organisation

Our AI adoption services

Role-based generative AI training

A content editor, sales manager, and financial analyst have completely different needs. We design and deliver role-based AI training that aligns with the daily tasks and challenges of specific functions, ensuring immediate relevance, practical usage and faster adoption.

Prompt engineering workshops

Our prompt engineering workshops teach employees how to query AI tools effectively, from fundamentals to advanced techniques for complex workflows. Teams learn to craft prompts that deliver consistent, valuable results.

AI hackathons

A well-organised hackathon delivers more than prototypes: it builds organisational support for AI investment. We facilitate hackathons that validate concrete AI use cases and bring teams into the 'what can AI do for us?' conversation.

AI adoption playbooks

How does your organisation embed AI into daily working routines, not as a project, but as a structural way of working? We develop bespoke adoption playbooks tailored by role and department, with concrete actions, governance steps and measurable milestones.

Change management for AI programmes

AI transformation succeeds or fails through organisational change. We help you design change management that gives your AI programme organisational backing, from stakeholder communication to internal ambassador programmes and feedback loops.

AI in daily operations

The end goal of adoption is AI embedded smoothly into operations, without requiring daily attention. Superunie exemplifies this: their operations team went from initial process analysis to live production in six weeks. Review moderation, semantic search, and segment personalisation now run in production, freeing teams to focus on what matters most.

Our approach to AI adoption and enablement

Our philosophy is simple: successful AI adoption means the technology becomes immediately useful, repeatable and relevant for each person using it. The real measure of success isn't training completion rates, it's whether teams are structurally working differently with AI three months later. This requires moving beyond traditional project-based training cycles to an integrated approach that embeds adoption into the delivery process itself.

Adoption and delivery as one programme

While consultancies deliver adoption frameworks, we deliver working AI that fits your existing workflow and guide change from within that same technical context. That's the difference between an adoption plan and adoption that works in practice. At SBB, our AI literacy workshop was part of the platform rollout, not an afterthought, resulting in positive feedback across the organisation and active use from day one.

Role-based approach: tailored to each function

A single AI awareness session for a hundred employees rarely delivers real behaviour change. We design role-based AI training that aligns with the actual tasks and challenges of specific functions, from editors and sales staff to IT architects and marketing managers. The more relevant the enablement, the faster sustainable adoption happens.

Quick wins as adoption engine

Organisational support for AI doesn't grow from talking about its potential. It grows from people experiencing what AI does for them. Our approach deliberately starts with quick wins that deliver immediate, visible results. This builds confidence to take the next, bigger step, as our MieleX programme demonstrates, where Phase 1 hackathon results built support for Phase 2's enterprise architecture.

Why work with iO for AI adoption and enablement?

Adoption and delivery from one integrated team

We build AI platforms and guide adoption from the same organisation, with the same people. This eliminates the gap between what the platform can do and what employees expect. At SBB, this integration was key to broad organisational acceptance from day one.

Structural adoption programmes, not one-off training

Our adoption approach isn't a one-day workshop. The MieleX AI Acceleration Programme is an 18-week structured programme combining quick wins with structural AI capacity building, from hackathon to enterprise architecture, with adoption as the connecting thread.

AI embedded in daily working routines

Adoption doesn't fail through resistance, it fails because AI tools are rolled out separate from workflow. We build AI into the moment of decision, not alongside it. That's not change management; that's product design.

Broad expertise across technical and organisational change

Raymond Muilwijk has led iO's own AI transformation, from internal tooling to customer-facing AI programmes. Tom van Mierlo translates technical AI capabilities into business language. Together, they bring the technical depth and organisational change capability that AI adoption demands.
