Frequently Asked Questions

They focus on technology instead of people and processes. According to BCG research, about 70% of AI implementation challenges stem from people and process issues—not technology. Only 20% relate to technology infrastructure and 10% to algorithms. Companies buy expensive AI tools, run pilots that go nowhere, and wonder why adoption stalls. The problem isn't the technology—it's the organizational readiness to use it.

BCG's resource allocation framework for successful AI adoption: 10% algorithms, 20% technology, 70% people and processes. Most companies do the opposite—they pour resources into shiny tools and sophisticated algorithms while ignoring behavior change, training, and workflow integration. The 10-20-70 model explains why heavily-funded AI initiatives fail: you can have the best technology in the world, but if your people can't use it effectively and your processes don't support it, you'll never see ROI. Kiingo focuses specifically on the 70%.

Five common reasons: behavioral barriers, wrong use case selection, model limitations, prompt engineering gaps, and context problems.

The bootcamp addresses all five barriers systematically—building habits, selecting appropriate use cases, understanding model capabilities, teaching effective prompting, and integrating AI into your actual workflows.

Eight organizational pillars—the Kiingo AI Adoption Model—that determine whether AI sticks.

Governance: AI use policies, budget, security protocols. Vision & Strategy: Clear AI roadmap tied to business goals. Use Cases: Role-specific applications that solve real problems. Learning: Structured, ongoing training. Incentives: Behavior change rewards. Psychological Safety: Addressing "Will AI take my job?" fears. Lead by Example: Executives actively using AI. Accountability: Clear ownership of AI adoption progress.

Wins from day one, measurable ROI within 6 weeks. Our bootcamp and custom prompt libraries create immediate efficiency gains starting in the first session—we focus on practical, high-impact implementations that your team can use immediately.

30 minutes to 2 hours saved daily per employee—that's $325,000 annual value for a 50-person team.

The math: 50 employees × 30 min/day × $50/hr = $325K annually. Harvard Business School research found consultants using AI completed tasks 25% faster with 40% higher quality—and lower performers saw the biggest gains. BCG research shows employees with 5+ hours of hands-on AI training have significantly higher regular usage rates. Our bootcamp provides 9+ hours of live instruction focused on your actual workflows.

82% of enterprise leaders now use Gen AI weekly (up from 37% in 2023), with 46% using it daily. According to Wharton's 2025 AI Adoption Report, the productivity gap between AI-proficient and AI-struggling employees is widening. 43% of enterprise leaders warn employees may fall behind as AI advances—yet 89% believe Gen AI augments rather than replaces work. The companies pulling ahead aren't buying more tools; they're building more capability.

74% of companies struggle to scale AI value—you're not alone, and the problem is usually fixable. According to BCG research, common failure modes include: (1) Tool-first thinking—bought software without building capability. (2) Pilot purgatory—small experiments that never scaled. (3) No accountability—training happened but habits didn't form. (4) Fear-based resistance—employees worried about job security sabotaged adoption. (5) Wrong use cases—tried AI on tasks it can't do well. Kiingo's structured approach addresses all five: we build habits, create accountability, select appropriate use cases, address fears directly, and focus on the 70% (people and process) that determines success.

No technical expertise required. Programs are designed specifically for businesses without AI technical background. If you can use email and a web browser, you can learn to use AI effectively. We teach in plain English, focusing on practical applications. We start with human-in-the-loop workflows—technical help is available via office hours for those who want to go deeper.

Companies from 10 to 10,000 employees across all industries—AI adoption is a behavior change challenge, not an industry-specific problem. We work with professional services, finance, accounting, legal, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, retail, construction, and more. If your team writes emails, creates documents, analyzes data, or communicates with customers—AI can help. The use cases vary by department, but the skills transfer across any industry.

90 minutes weekly for 6 weeks—less time than most employees waste on tasks AI could handle in a single week. The bootcamp requires 90-minute weekly live sessions (9 total hours of instruction). Office hours are available twice weekly for additional support. Between sessions, participants spend 30-60 minutes practicing with their actual work. Total time investment: approximately 15-20 hours over 6 weeks. Compare that to the 15+ hours per week AI can save once your team is proficient.

Yes—all programs are delivered virtually via live video sessions. This allows us to work with companies nationwide without travel costs or scheduling complexity. We've trained 1,300+ executives this way across 300+ companies. In-person options are available for corporate engagements upon request.

There's a significant gap between casual AI users and those trained to use it effectively. Harvard research shows trained users complete tasks 25% faster with 40% higher quality—most "AI users" haven't unlocked this potential. They've tried ChatGPT for a few tasks but haven't integrated AI into their workflows systematically. We assess where your team actually is (not where they think they are) and build from there. The bootcamp structure works for beginners and intermediate users—advanced content is available for those who've already established basics.

Yes—private bootcamps include industry-specific demo packages and company-specific workflow integration. We have pre-built customization modules for law, consulting, finance, real estate, manufacturing, and professional services. For private bootcamps, we work with your actual documents, your real challenges, and your specific data. The Bring Your Own Use Case (BYOUC) component ensures every participant leaves with workflows tailored to their role.

You're equipped to continue independently—with ongoing support options available. Every bootcamp includes a Leadership Strategy Session to align your executive team on next steps. You'll have documented workflows, a custom prompt library, and trained internal champions who can drive continued adoption. For ongoing accountability: AI Champions Groups provide monthly peer sessions where your champions learn from other companies and get expert guidance as AI evolves. Resource Vault access keeps your team current with updated templates and techniques.
