Launching transformation programs that align technology with human hearts and minds
Toronto, June 18, 2025: While Canada creates its first-ever Minister of AI, public sector and community facing leaders face a more immediate challenge: How do you prepare your people for AI transformation when most organizations don’t even know where to start?
Ryelle Strategy Group has the answer – and the track record to prove it works.
Today, Ryelle launches comprehensive AI readiness programs designed specifically for the human side of transformation. Because true AI adoption isn’t just about systems or culture, it’s about bringing them together. Ryelle helps organizations align the end-to-end technical strategy with the 90% of AI success that depends on people’s hearts and minds.
“We keep hearing about AI pilots and proof-of-concepts, but the real question leaders ask us is: Where do we even start? How do we launch a transformation of this scale when we don’t have enough hands to handle day-to-day operations? Will my team embrace this or resist it? That’s not a technology question, that’s a strategy question, a human question .” says Carol Kotacka, Ryelle’s Managing Partner.
Kotacka should know. Over the last seven years, Ryelle Strategy Group has worked with governments, public institutions, and corporate leaders in Dubai to shape AI-driven transformation, helping to ensure that technology advances not just systems, but the human experience for clients, patients, and citizens. The insight from all that work? Technology succeeds when people are ready. It fails when they’re not.
“The opportunity for Canada is here and so is the pressure to move quickly,” says Kotacka. “But rushing into AI without understanding organizational readiness, culture, and preparing and empowering your people is like trying to run a marathon without training. You might start fast, but you won’t finish strong.”
This program launch comes at a critical moment for Canada. As AI gains momentum on the national stage, public institutions are under pressure to act, but lack clarity on how to start responsibly. With a global track record and deep roots in Canadian public service, Ryelle Strategy Group is positioned to be a trusted partner for institutions navigating AI and the future beyond it.
