Case Study: Healthcare
70% Reduction in Effort and $2.5M in Annual Time Savings
Leaders were spending 90 minutes per performance evaluation, pulling time away from patient care and leadership priorities. The assumption was a leadership capability issue.
An AI-driven assessment using Microsoft Copilot revealed the real problem: inefficient systems were blocking time management and prioritization.
By redesigning a single high-impact workflow [performance evaluations] evaluation time dropped from 90 minutes to 28 minutes.
Results
• 70% reduction in effort
• $2.5M in potential annual time savings
• 426% ROI
With clear proof of impact, the organization expanded Copilot into additional workflows to accelerate adoption across the business.
Case Study: Workforce
188% Revenue Growth by Focusing on the Right Behaviors
A sales leader believed the team’s performance issues stemmed from weak listening skills. Despite effort and training, results weren’t improving.
AI-driven insight revealed a different issue: the team was listening, but lacked credibility and authority in customer conversations.
By shifting focus to how leaders showed up — reinforcing trust, clarity, and authority in execution — performance improved quickly.
Results
• Revenue increased from $100 to $288 for every $100 invested
• 188% revenue growth
• Leaders focused on the behaviors that actually drive results
The result demonstrated that AI didn’t just accelerate activity — it helped leaders identify and reinforce the right behaviors, creating meaningful business impact.
