Why we publish

An honest read rests on evidence, not assertion. So we research the questions our clients are living, co-develop frameworks with the people who study them, and publish the work we can share. What follows is where 100Facets has a point of view, and where it came from.

The 8-A of AI Readiness

A readiness framework in two parts. Strategic Clarity (Aim, Approach, Alignment, Alliances) is whether you know where AI creates advantage. Execution Capability (Architecture, Assets, Abilities, Attitude) is whether you can deliver it. Each of the eight dimensions is read on a four-level ladder, from Ad Hoc to Leading, and function-specific editions exist. The whitepaper is shared under engagement, not as a public download. Published by 100Facets and the University of St. Gallen Executive School.

The State of AI in Organizational Development

We asked 155 senior leaders across the C-suite, human resources and learning how ready they are for AI. Only 11 percent call themselves highly ready, and only 4 percent have AI strategically integrated. The sharpest finding is the gap between them: the C-suite is almost five times more sure the organisation is ready than the people who would have to make it real. Published by 100Facets and the University of St. Gallen Executive School.

The State of AI in Executive Coaching

148 coaches told us where AI sits in their practice. Today it lives almost entirely in the preparation before a session, the content and the logistics, while the work with the client stays largely untouched. Only 5 percent have woven AI through their whole practice, and the main barrier is not the technology: 47 percent say they cannot yet see how AI turns into real coaching value.

From the work

Honest reads we gave leaders and their teams, by bringing the right measure of AI and human expertise to each question. No client names, by choice: we are in a trust business, and the confidentiality that protects these teams will protect yours. References on request.

A leadership group
"Fifty voices, before the apéro. Findings, next morning."

The team in the room
"By lunchtime, the executive committee was looking at its own thinking on the screen."

Live interviews through a morning workshop turned the team's own thinking into the afternoon's agenda.

04AI readiness
AI readiness
"The most useful findings came from a slice no one had asked for."

An organisation-scale 8-A read; the sharpest findings came from slicing 107 responses by tenure and seniority. The deeper reference for a team's Making AI land question.

05Leadership values
A leadership group
"Two values were taking root. On the other two, the leaders agreed they were not."

Twenty-six senior leaders read four leadership principles two ways; the values most needed for execution were the least lived.

06Top team and culture
An executive committee
"A top-team diagnostic, evidenced from two independent sources."

Ten interviews and an existing culture profile, read as one: the top team's leadership posture and the organisation's culture pointed the same way, in the leaders' own words.
