I make AI
actually get used.

Fifteen years turning new tools and new operating models into the way teams genuinely work — across sales, operations, finance and enablement.

Hands-on with AI
Adoption is a curve. Mine holds.
Adoption that holds The usual spike & revert
The gap

Rollouts rarely fail on the technology.
They fail on adoption.

Whether it's an AI tool, a new CRM, or a redesigned operating model, the platform is usually capable and leadership is usually bought in. What's missing is someone who owns the behavior change — who sits with each function, learns how it actually works, builds what people will genuinely use, and stays until the new way is the default way. That's the work I do, and I do it by building rather than presenting.

What I do

Four practices, one problem.

Getting people to work a new way, and making it hold. AI is where most of that work sits today — the discipline underneath it is the one I've been applying for fifteen years.

Primary focus

AI adoption & automation

Finding where AI genuinely earns its place in a team's day, redesigning the workflow around it, and staying until it's the default path rather than an experiment someone ran once.

  • Use-case discovery, intake and prioritisation
  • Workflow redesign around AI and automation
  • Proofs of concept and pilot-to-scale plans
  • Responsible-AI guardrails and human oversight
  • Prompt libraries and function-specific enablement
  • Adoption tracking and value measurement
Practice

Change enablement

The people half of every rollout, run as a discipline rather than a comms plan.

  • Prosci / ADKAR change strategy
  • Stakeholder analysis and sponsor coaching
  • Champion networks and playbooks
  • Training, onboarding and hands-on learning design
  • Readiness, resistance and adoption measurement
Practice

Business transformation

Reshaping how a function is organised, governed and measured — not just the tools it runs on.

  • Operating model and process design
  • Six Sigma / Lean process re-engineering
  • Organisational design and restructuring
  • Governance, decision rights and KPI frameworks
  • Business cases and transformation roadmaps
Practice

Sales enablement & operations

The commercial engine: systems, coverage, incentives and the enablement that makes reps effective.

  • CRM strategy, ownership and product ownership
  • Pipeline, forecasting and performance analytics
  • Territory design and coverage modelling
  • Compensation and incentive programme design
  • Sales onboarding, SOPs and ramp programmes
How I work

Adoption is built, not announced.

Four principles run through every rollout I lead. None of them start with a slide deck.

Map the work

Shadow each function and learn how it really runs before touching anything — so AI lands where it earns its place.

Build the tools

I ship the software teams use — learning hubs, live apps, prompt libraries — not slideware about what AI could someday do.

Win the buy-in

Earn genuine commitment from experienced, skeptical operators through coaching, champions, and playbooks — not mandates.

Prove it

Track usage, readiness, and behavior change with real data — so leadership sees where adoption holds and where it slips.

Selected work

Things people open on Monday.

Tools, rollouts and redesigns I've owned end to end — from discovery through build, adoption and measurement. Details are kept general where the work is internal.

Enablement

Self-serve AI learning platform

A role-based training hub with onboarding modules, process guides, and automated completion tracking — new hires ramp without pulling a manager off the floor.

Operations

Live operations app

An interactive, real-time tool that replaced spreadsheet workarounds for a front-line team — availability, pricing, and status in one place.

Change intelligence

Org-wide change-tracking hub

A single live view of every active change — the teams and stakeholders each one touches, and the KPIs behind them — now used across the organization.

Measurement

Adoption analytics

Dashboards that show leadership where new tools and processes are genuinely used versus quietly abandoned — turning adoption into something you can see.

Product ownership

AI-powered quotation platform

Owned as Product Owner and shaped around how reps actually quote — cutting turnaround time by 25% while lifting daily usage.

Workflow AI

Prompt libraries & automation

Function-specific prompt libraries and intelligent automation embedded into everyday work — so AI becomes the default path, not a detour.

Transformation

Operating model redesign

Designed and stood up a new operating model for a national contact centre — business case, process map, resource plan, technology selection and rollout.

Enterprise rollout

Change at 40,000 users

Led business analysis and change enablement for concurrent identity, collaboration and file-migration programmes across a university community.

Sales enablement

Compensation & territory redesign

Rebuilt incentive plans for 100+ representatives and modelled territory coverage, with a compensation platform implementation behind it.

About

A change practitioner who ships.

Amin Sameni portrait

I'm Amin Sameni — an enablement, operations and transformation practitioner based in Vancouver, working at the point where new technology meets the people who have to use it.

Over fifteen years I've led AI, CRM and enterprise system rollouts, redesigned operating models, restructured teams, and built the enablement that makes any of it stick — in real estate development, wholesale distribution, telecom, higher education and engineering consulting. I trained as an industrial engineer, carry a Prosci change practice and a Six Sigma Black Belt, and I now use AI daily to build the internal tools those teams rely on.

My edge isn't the technology. It's the harder half: moving an experienced, skeptical operator off an old habit, and proving the shift with data. I map how a function really works, ship something useful fast, and stay until usage holds.

Outside the day job I co-founded a music philanthropy foundation, coached newcomers to Canada through career transitions, and worked media operations at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
