The Challenge
Government Faces the Same Pattern at Higher Stakes
The technology adoption failure pattern — 95% pilot failure rates, $30-40B wasted, the gap between deployment and organizational readiness — plays out in government with additional complexity. Longer procurement cycles mean less room for course correction. Public accountability means failures are front-page news. Workforce protections mean the “replace” posture isn’t an option. Union dynamics add layers of coordination. But the core problem is identical: the organization determines the outcome, not the technology. And the political cost of failure is existential.
Alignment
Built for Government Constraints
Government-Specific Challenges
Procurement compliance demands SOW/RFP-ready deliverables. Inspector General oversight requires auditable evidence trails. Workforce protection requirements and union considerations constrain restructuring options. Cross-agency coordination multiplies complexity. And public-sector workforces typically have lower digital fluency and higher AI anxiety — making the change management challenge exponentially harder.
