The problem

AI programmes fail people,
not technology

The models are ready. The platforms are live. But without structured change, adoption stalls and value evaporates.

70%
of AI transformation programmes fail to meet their adoption targets in the first year of deployment.

Why we built this
"We spent years running AI transformation programmes at Big 4 firms. We were good at it. But every single programme ran on the same broken infrastructure — and we were exhausted by it."

A C&E plan in Excel that someone rebuilt every Monday. A stakeholder register in a separate file, always a version behind. A heatmap that took half a day to reconstruct for every steering committee. Three tools that never talked to each other, maintained by hand, by people who should have been focused on people.

When AI programmes started moving faster, that approach fell apart completely. Stakeholder groups multiplied overnight. The volume of change meant spreadsheets broke every week. Nobody had the same version. Reporting took days to pull together. And the change team — the people whose entire job is human adoption — were stuck formatting cells.

We looked for a better tool. Nothing existed. So we built it.

FAQ

Common questions

What is Shift?+

Shift is an AI change acceleration platform built by former Big 4 change practitioners. It gives change teams a connected workspace to map impacts, analyse stakeholders and plan communications — replacing the disconnected spreadsheets that most programmes still rely on.

Who is it for?+

Change managers, transformation leads and programme teams running AI or enterprise technology programmes. If you're managing a change workstream affecting 50 or more people, Shift is built for you.

Will other users see my data?+

No. Each user's workspace is completely private to their own browser and device. If two team members both have access to the same Shift deployment, they each see only their own data — entirely separate, with no overlap.

Does my work save automatically?+

Yes. Every change you make saves automatically. You'll see a "✦ Saved" indicator in the top bar confirming this. Closing the tab or logging out does not delete your work — it's there when you return. Data is stored locally in your browser and only clears if you manually clear your browser history or cache.

Can I import my existing Excel spreadsheets?+

Yes, on Studio and above. You can upload your existing C&E plan, stakeholder register or CIA template directly into Shift. It reads your columns and maps them automatically. You can also export everything back to Excel or CSV at any time.

What's the difference between Starter and Studio?+

Starter gives you the full CIA module, Stakeholder Register and C&E Plan with up to 5 stakeholder groups. Studio unlocks the Impact Heatmap, Excel import and export, unlimited stakeholder groups, and full CSV exports. See the pricing section above for the complete breakdown.

How do I get access after purchasing?+

Once payment is confirmed you'll receive your access credentials by email within 24 hours. If you have any questions in the meantime, contact us at hello@shift.app.

Can I upgrade from Starter to Studio?+

Yes, at any time. Email hello@shift.app and we'll upgrade your access the same day. Your existing data carries over — nothing is lost.

Is my data secure?+

Your data is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to or held on Shift servers. This means your programme data stays entirely within your own environment. We recommend keeping your access password confidential and not sharing devices with unauthorised users.

How do I contact Shift for support or questions?+

Email us at hello@shift.app — we respond within one business day. For enterprise enquiries or bespoke requirements, use the subject line "Enterprise" and we'll get back to you with a tailored conversation. For urgent issues with your active account, mark your subject line "Urgent" and we'll prioritise.
