Sponsors & Decision-Makers
Focus: ROI, risk visibility, and strategic alignment.
Over 70% of initiatives underperform. Short disruption cycles mean lessons expire quickly, and human risks—like misaligned priorities or lack of trust—often go unaddressed. DCMI identifies these risks early, enabling leaders to act decisively.
ICRA is a research-backed framework that evaluates readiness across 16 AI‑specific
success factors (grouped under Initiation, Planning, Execution, Adoption). It benchmarks
your scores against global norms and recommends prioritized mitigations. Unlike generic
change checklists, ICRA zeroes in on AI’s distinct people risks—trust, bias, skills shifts, and
adoption dynamics—so leaders can quantify exposure and act.
Traditional CM was built for linear change. ICRA is tuned for AI: rapid cycles, uncertainty,
human trust issues, compliance sensitivity, and cross‑functional ownership. It pairs a
quantified risk profile with targeted mitigations and tracks mitigation impact over time,
turning ‘red is good’ (surface risks early) into ‘more green is better’ (prove mitigations
work).
ROI shows up as fewer failed initiatives, accelerated execution cycles, and reduced waste. Many clients achieve returns greater than 10x compared to licensing costs.
DCMI provides concise dashboards and summaries: risk heatmaps, top mitigations, and progress updates. This gives boards confidence in governance and decision-making.
