The shift

Every company is investing in AI.
Very few are seeing the return.

95%

of organizations see no business return from their generative AI investment.

74%

of companies struggle to achieve and scale value from AI.

Our thesis

What stalls AI transformation is not the technology.
It is human behavior.

BCG finds that 70% of the challenges in an AI transformation are about people and processes. Only 30% are about technology and algorithms.

Who we are

AI only creates impact when your people adopt it

Companies are spending millions on AI. But however powerful the technology is, if people don't use it in their daily work, it has no impact on the business.

Alaia Advisors is a transformation consultancy founded by Ferran Tort (CEO), psychologist, TEDx speaker and advisor to executive committees, and Irantzu Casajús (COO). We work with your leaders and teams on how to use and adopt AI, starting from where they are today, so it turns into business results: time saved, costs reduced and teams that perform.

What we are not: an AI agency, engineers or a tool vendor.

The uncomfortable truth

Most Companies show zero tangible AI Value
after 12+ months of AI Rollouts

You bought the licenses. You ran the training. You hired the consultants.
And still, no real measurable ROI. Here's what we hear from leaders like you:

Ferran Tort working with a leadership team

After many conversations with leaders, we realized the issue is not technology: it's human resistance to change. If any of this sounds familiar, we can help you solve it.

An ROAI System that converts your AI spend into measurable ROI is What You Are Missing

The fastest-growing companies don't rely on isolated AI trainings, on simply announcing that new AI tools are available, on assuming "the team will adopt it naturally", or on delegating AI adoption to IT. They implement an ROAI System, built by experts in strategic transformation, change management psychology and AI adoption: a system that converts low adoption into measurable ROAI.

How we work

We start with the executive committee

McKinsey finds that the biggest barrier to scaling AI is leaders, not employees. Teams copy what their leaders do: when the CEO and the executive committee change how they work, the rest of the organization follows.

01

Executive committee

Aligned on one target, each leader with ownership.

02

Leaders and champions

Carry the new way of working into their teams.

03

The whole organization

Adopts what it sees its leaders do.

One program, three fronts

01

Change management

Leaders learn to lead change: to create awareness and desire, handle resistance and keep the new behavior in place.

02

AI adoption

We find the use cases that matter most and build the skills and routines to use AI in them every day.

03

Company culture

We work on how the leadership team collaborates, decides and holds itself accountable, because the rest of the company copies it.

AI is often where the conversation starts. The lasting result is change that sticks.

Our Method

The ROAI System:
The 4 Stages to Turn your AI Spend

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here's everything you need to feel confident about working together

Is this just another AI training?

No. Trainings teach tools and are forgotten in 30 days. That's why adoption stays low. The ROAI System is a 90-day behavioral change system with executive sponsorship, ownership assigned by department and weekly measurement of real adoption, using the usage data of the AI tools you already have. Training is a minor component. The real work is applied organizational psychology.

Why not hire McKinsey, BCG, or Accenture?

You can. They'll deliver an excellent deck in 6 months for 5 to 10 times our investment, and you'll execute it yourself. We're a small, senior team that works directly with your C-suite for 90 days, drives the change inside your operation and reports ROI in euros, not theoretical frameworks. If your problem is strategy, call McKinsey. If your problem is real adoption, call us.

Why not do it internally with our IT or HR team?

Because you already tried, and that's why you're here. IT understands technology, not behavioral change. HR understands people, not AI. The ROAI System needs all three disciplines working at the same time with executive authority, something that rarely exists internally. Our role is to install the system and train your leaders so they can sustain it after the 90 days.

How much does the program cost?

Each engagement is sized according to the size of the organization, the current state of adoption and the scope of the prioritized use cases. We work on a fixed, all-inclusive fee. The investment range and expected ROI are defined in the free 45-minute consultation.

What happens if we invest and it doesn't work?

If at the end of the program your leadership team determines it didn't meet the standard of excellence, we refund 100% of the investment. No conditions, no fine print. Either it's transformational or it's free. We take on the risk because we know what works.

How do you measure ROI? I don't want another theoretical business case.

We measure three things, every week:

  • Hours saved per employee, from the real usage data of your AI tools, by person and team.
  • Operational costs reduced, in euros, per optimized workflow.
  • Use cases in production: number of processes where AI is integrated and measured.

The Day 90 final report is board-ready, in euros, and signed off by the assigned executive owners. If we can't measure it, we don't do it.

My C-suite isn't aligned on this. How do you handle that?

That's exactly Stage 2 of the system: the EXCOM Alignment Workshop. A full in-person day with the CEO and leadership team where a shared ROI target is signed off, ownership is assigned by department and every executive leaves with a pilot under their name. If your C-suite doesn't arrive aligned, the system aligns them. If the CEO doesn't want to take part, we don't take the engagement. Without a real sponsor, it can't work.

How much time does my team need to dedicate to this?

The real commitment is 4 two-hour sessions with the C-suite across the 90 days, plus 30-minute individual interviews during the Assessment. Internal Change Champions dedicate around 2 hours per week during the Adoption sprints. We do the rest. We didn't design this to overload your team. We designed it to free up 5 hours per week per person once it's done.

Does this work in my sector (regulated, technical, industrial)?

Yes. The ROAI System works in any sector because resistance to change is universal: organizational psychology works the same in pharma as in banking or manufacturing. What changes are the prioritized use cases and the compliance considerations, both defined during the Assessment. We've worked with regulated sectors (government, retail, professional sports, energy).

What happens after the 90 days? Are we left on our own?

No. The following 30 days include 2 AI Masterminds with your leadership team and 1 individual advisory session per leader. The goal is to transfer the full system: your certified AI Change Champions sustain adoption, your leaders have the frameworks, and we move into an as-needed advisory role. If you want continuous support beyond month 4, there's an optional quarterly executive mastermind retainer.
