Your people are already using AI
Uncontrolled, unmeasured, and without guardrails. The AI Adoption Playbook is the structured method for taking charge of it — the same change framework behind $200m of delivered digital projects, packaged so you can run it yourself.
One downloadable pack. 30 pages, 21 templates and tools. Yours to run — no consultants required.
The free sample is the AI Readiness Check — step one of the method, yours to keep.
AI adoption isn't a project you choose to start. It already started.
Somewhere in your business tonight, someone will paste company information into a free AI tool. Your competitors are doing the same thing — except some of them are doing it deliberately, with structure, and compounding the advantage.
There is no opt-out. The only choice left is whether AI adoption happens to you or through you.
Unmanaged, it's a data risk, a quality risk, and a quiet drain on the trust your customers place in you. Managed, it's the biggest capability uplift available to a business your size. Most businesses don't have anyone whose job this is. That's the gap this playbook fills.
You don't need a consultancy. You need a plan.
An AI strategy engagement costs more than most small and mid-sized businesses can justify. You don't need one — you need the method, the templates, and the governance, in an order that works.
The playbook is that method. It's what we use with our own clients, written down so you can run it without us in the room. Nuts and bolts, low on theory: every section is something you do, not something you read about.
Already running Prosci or your own change framework? Good — keep it. The playbook sits on top: it's the AI-specific layer, not a replacement.
Everything you need to run AI adoption properly
A 30-page playbook in four parts: sequence, decisions, owners, and what "done" looks like at each stage.
From first assessment to embedded ways of working, built on the framework we run with clients.
Readiness check, use-case triage, AI policy, risk register, comms and training plans, benefits measurement. Fillable, ready to run.
Written for any AI tool or system, so the method survives the next model release.
One downloadable PDF pack with fillable fields. No subscription, no portal, no per-seat licensing.
Built for the person handed the AI problem
You can see the risk and the opportunity, and there's no internal capability to deal with either.
You've been told to "sort out AI" without a budget line or a headcount.
You're facing a change problem your framework wasn't written for. The playbook is the AI layer on top of what you already run — Prosci included.
Who it isn't for: if you have an internal AI capability team, you don't need this. And if you're after a survey of the AI landscape, this will disappoint you — it's a working document, not a reading list.
The framework isn't new. The problem is
The playbook is Softwired's change management framework — the one behind $200m of delivered digital projects — applied to the specific change AI brings. We're a digital transformation consultancy with a technical foundation: we use these tools daily, inside our own business and with clients, and the playbook carries what actually worked.
Start this week
Everything arrives as one PDF pack with fillable fields — no portal, no drip-feed.
Baseline where your people, data, and tools actually are, and triage your first use-cases in the first fortnight.
Governance in place, first use-cases live, benefits measured — with support from us if you've chosen a tier that includes it.
Choose how much help you want
Every tier credits in full toward a Softwired engagement for 90 days — bring us in later and the playbook price comes off your first invoice.
Prices in AUD. One-off purchase — no subscription.

The free sample is the AI Readiness Check — one of the 21 templates, and step one of the method. Run it this afternoon: ten minutes to score where your people, data, and guardrails actually stand. Yours to keep either way.
Before you ask
No. Thirty pages, and every one of them ends in a template, a checklist, or a decision. If a page doesn't change what you do on Monday, it didn't make the cut.
No. The playbook stands alone. If you already run one, it slots on top as the AI-specific layer.
Written for organisations without an internal AI capability — typically 10 to 200 people. Bigger organisations use it at the team or division level.
The opposite. The readiness check is designed to capture what's already happening — sanctioned or not — and bring it inside the guardrails.
One downloadable PDF pack with fillable fields — 30 pages of method plus 21 templates and tools, yours to keep. No subscription, no portal, no per-seat licensing.
That's what the free sample is for — read it before you buy. And if you move to a Softwired engagement within 90 days, the full purchase price is credited.
Take charge of AI adoption
Your people started without you. Catch up in a fortnight — the method, the governance, and the templates, in one pack, ready to run.
Or start with the free sample — no payment details, and the Readiness Check is yours to keep.
