The AQS™ Process

How We Work

The AQS™ doesn't just tell you where adoption quality stands. It tells you why — and what to do about it. We work with organisations through three stages, each building on the last.

01

01 / Diagnose

We run the AQS™ diagnostic for your organisation. The survey takes approximately 7 minutes per employee and can be deployed across teams, functions, sites, or the entire workforce.

You receive a detailed AQS™ report: headline scores, component breakdowns, barrier rankings, workforce segmentation, and a clear view of where adoption quality is strong and where it's at risk.

Adoption Quality Score

Score (0–100) with Green / Amber / Red classification.

Four Components

Deep dive into Means, Machinery, Relevance, and Readiness.

Psychological Barriers

Detailed scoring across six specific adoption hurdles.

Segmentation Matrix

Relevance-Readiness matrix identifying four workforce segments.

Granular Mapping

Data mapped by seniority, function, team, and tenure.

Benchmarking

Compare results against our propriety cross-industry dataset.

02

02 / Design

Using your AQS™ data, we design a targeted intervention strategy. This isn't a generic playbook — it's a behavioural blueprint built around your specific adoption challenges.

If your workforce skews "Panicked and Conflicted" (high Relevance, low Readiness), the strategy focuses on barrier reduction: co-design, low-stakes experimentation, identity support. If they're "Ready but Unconvinced" (high Readiness, low Relevance), the strategy focuses on leadership narrative, use-case mapping, and making AI personal to each role.

Different parts of the same organisation typically need different interventions. The AQS™ tells you which ones, and for whom.

What you get:

Intervention strategy

Mapped directly to your AQS™ findings.

Priority actions

By team / function / cohort.

Behavioural change techniques

Matched to specific barriers.

Implementation roadmap

A clear step-by-step rollout plan.

Success metrics

Complete measurement and evaluation plan.

03

03 / Deliver

We work with you to implement the interventions through a combination of bespoke training, consulting, and embedded support.

This can include leadership enablement workshops, team-level barrier-reduction programmes, use-case co-design sessions, cultural change initiatives, and manager coaching. Every intervention is designed around your data and delivered in partnership with your teams.

We can re-run the AQS™ post-intervention to measure progress and refine the strategy.

What you get:

Bespoke training programmes (not off-the-shelf)
Intervention design and facilitation
Leadership and manager enablement
Embedded advisory support
Post-intervention AQS™ re-measurement
