We all agree we need to build an AI-powered operation, but my leadership team is struggling to make progress on our technology Rocks because they do not know how to define a clear, measurable metric for AI adoption on our Scorecard. What should we be measuring?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

To successfully transition to an AI-powered operation, your leadership team must move past theoretical discussions and start tracking concrete execution. Many teams fail to implement automation because they treat it as an abstract concept rather than a disciplined operational process.

To drive actual progress, you must put a leading indicator on your weekly Scorecard. This metric should measure the active execution of your technology Rocks. Instead of tracking vague goals, track specific, binary activities:
- The number of manual processes mapped for automation each week.
- The percentage of team members who have completed AI tool training.
- The number of administrative tasks successfully handed over to automated workflows.

By tracking these numbers weekly in your Level 10 Meeting™, you force the leadership team to remain focused on the actual work of integration. If the numbers drop, you immediately IDS® the issue to uncover what is stalling the adoption. This transforms AI from a buzzword into a measurable, accountable component of your daily operations, ensuring your team actually builds the future instead of just talking about it.
