Behavior Change Infrastructure
Own the AI Shift

What is the AI adoption gap already costing you?

Your organisation has likely already invested in AI tools. This calculator sizes what that investment is not yet returning — then shows the two ways to close the gap and what each one recovers.

96% / 95%
96% of organisations report operational gains from AI. 95% show zero measurable P&L impact.

That gap is not a technology problem. The tools are present and producing activity. The distance between activity and P&L outcome is a behaviour problem — and it is the exact problem Own the AI Shift is built to close.

Two ways to close the gap
Foundation
Leadership core · 8–10 weeks
Senior leadership Middle management Frontline
₱750,000Band 1
Estimated Year-1 recovery₱7.0M
Returns about 9× its cost · closes ~18% of the gap

Installs AI ownership behaviour in your senior leadership and management layers — the conditions every successful rollout depends on. The frontline can be added later, once you've seen the leadership data.

Flagship
Full org shift · 13–15 weeks
Senior leadership Middle management Frontline
₱1,800,000Band 1
Estimated Year-1 recovery₱13.5M
Returns about 8× its cost · closes ~34% of the gap

Extends the shift to every person in the building — frontline included — plus the Innovation Competition and a cross-layer report your board and clients can see. It reaches the layer where most of your cost actually lives.

Why the fuller program recovers more
Foundation closes₱7.0M of ₱39.9M
Flagship closes₱13.5M of ₱39.9M

Foundation changes how your leaders and managers work — real value, and the right place to start for most organisations. But your largest single cost, attrition, lives at the frontline, and so does most of the unrealised productivity. Foundation reaches those only indirectly, through managers. Flagship reaches the frontline directly — which is why it recovers close to twice as much of the gap in the first year.

What happens after the program

Foundation

Behaviour change holds while it's reinforced. Foundation gains are sustained through the optional Post-Program Subscription, which keeps the habit cycles and measurement running.

Flagship

Includes L&D capability embedding — the program builds the maintenance capability inside your own team, so the change is designed to hold without ongoing external support.

A note on these figures. All numbers are directional estimates based on published benchmarks — McKinsey 2023, Gallup, and Philippine BPO sector data — not audit-grade projections. Attrition replacement cost uses a conservative 60% of annual salary. The productivity figure applies the 14% full-adoption ceiling to the share of your team not yet AI-productive. Management drag assumes 15% of manager time lost to AI adoption friction. Recovery estimates reflect how much of each cost stream each tier is positioned to address based on which layers it reaches; they are conservative and meant to size the opportunity, not to guarantee a return. The Behavior Change Report delivered at program close replaces every estimate here with measured outcomes specific to your organisation.

See the version of this built on your real numbers.

Every figure here is replaced with measured outcomes once the program runs. The first step is a short conversation.
