Context: Digital adoption rate is not determined by how many citizens log in, it is determined by whether digital workflows become the default way work gets done.

Challenges: New processes are introduced and initial usage looks promising, but employees revert to familiar workarounds when steps feel ambiguous or approvals introduce delay, so adoption declines because execution does not stay aligned.

Solution: The Digital Adoption Guidance Agent, an AI agent built using Microsoft Copilot Studio, monitors abandoned workflows and reappearing manual steps as they occur and intervenes at the point of deviation, flagging stalled digital paths before habits reset.

Impact: Public sector agencies adopting this approach see managers intervene before workarounds take hold, with digital becoming the natural way work flows through disciplined execution rather than enforcement.
