Shadow process risk after AI
A shadow process is the old spreadsheet or inbox path that continues beside the AI workflow. If it persists, your KPI is fake. Kill the shadow path or admit the pilot failed.
Why this matters now
Teams stall on shadow process risk after ai when nobody owns the next step. Name the owner before you pick a tool.
Practical steps
1) Write the job in one sentence. 2) Baseline the current time or error rate. 3) Design a reviewed workflow. 4) Run a 6–10 week pilot. 5) Keep or kill based on the KPI.
Risks to avoid
Do not expand scope mid-pilot, skip human review, or paste personal data into unapproved tools.
