The Hostetter Group: Guiding Leaders Through AI Change

AI is transforming the workplace, yet 95% of initiatives fall short due to a neglect of the human element. At The Hostetter Group, we leverage over 25 years of executive change leadership alongside specialized AI knowledge to empower leaders to achieve success where others do not.

Business Meeting

Meet Lynne Hostetter Piper, Founder & Principal Consultant 

Lynne Hostetter Piper is the founder and principal consultant of The Hostetter Group, a boutique AI transformation and change management consultancy helping small and mid-sized organizations build the organizational readiness that turns AI investment into AI impact.

 

With 25 years of CHRO-level experience leading complex transformations in healthcare, regulated industries, and multi-site operations, Lynne brings a perspective that most AI consultants cannot: she has sat in the leadership chair, managed the workforce fallout when initiatives went wrong, and built the governance structures that kept organizations compliant and competitive through significant change.

 

She founded The Hostetter Group around a single conviction: AI transformation is 80% people and process, and 20% technology. Every engagement begins with ATLAS, THG's proprietary five-pillar organizational readiness diagnostic, which gives leadership teams a clear picture of where they stand and what has to happen before any technology decision is made.

 

Lynne holds certifications in PROSCI AI Change Management, Certified AI Consultant (CAIC), SHRM-SCP, and SPHR, and is an active member of the Central Maryland business community.

Team Brainstorm

Why You Need to Get Ahead of AI Now

AI is reshaping the workplace faster than most leaders ever anticipated. New tools and technologies are emerging every day — changing how decisions are made, how work gets done, and what people expect from their employers.

​

Waiting on the sidelines can leave your organization vulnerable. Companies that delay exploring AI risk:

  • Falling behind more agile competitors

  • Facing higher costs and rushed implementations later

  • Eroding trust among employees concerned about their future

​

At The Hostetter Group, we help executive leaders turn uncertainty into clarity — so you can lead your organization into the future with confidence.

Let’s Talk About Your AI Journey

AI is changing the future of work — but your people deserve thoughtful, human-centered solutions.  Let’s create an AI plan that fits your business — and your people.
