Driving transformation when you have total accountability, but no direct line authority.
The friction
What is getting in the way
You own the outcome, but the people who have to change how they work don’t report to you. When deadlines slip and pilots stall, you can’t just order people to comply. Push too hard, and field leaders dig in their heels; back off, and sponsors lose interest. Progress stops being about project plans and becomes entirely about whether you know how to build commitment across dotted lines.
Client story
Clout Mastermind for AI transformation specialists
The Implementation Support team at a prominent security services firm needed to drive adoption of new AI-enabled scheduling and recruiting processes across field operations without direct authority. CloutLab facilitated an 8-week Clout Mastermind peer coaching series, equipping participants with a repeatable influence framework and ongoing accountability for managing dotted-line relationships and securing executive sponsorship.
“Initially, we aimed for 4 pilots but have now expanded to 14, identifying $2.36M in synergies.”
Eric McGarty, Executive Vice President of Operational Business Transformation, Allied Universal
