The model emphasizes clear AI policies, healthy data ecosystems, strong version control, working in small batches, user-centric focus, and quality internal platforms. The report includes team archetypes and Value Stream Mapping guidance to help organizations identify their profile and prioritize interventions that transform AI adoption from local productivity gains into system-level performance improvements.
