Plenty of AI rollouts are technically correct and adoption-wise dead on arrival. This checklist forces the change management work — the comms, the training, the listening — that determines whether the tool gets used or quietly ignored.

What's inside

Three-phase checklist (Pre-Launch Preparation, Launch and Stabilization, Sustainment) with sequential activities, owner assignments, and the success signals that tell you the change is sticking.

How to use it

  1. Walk through every item in order — skipping ahead usually means missing the prerequisite that makes a later item work.
  2. Score honestly. The point of a checklist is to surface gaps, not to feel good about what's already done.
  3. Run it again in 90 days. Checklists are a baseline; the value is in the delta between runs.
