THE PROBLEM: Why You're Stuck
AI Implementation Is Failing Your Practice
(Here's Why)
Your market shifted. Your workflows didn't.
The Current Veterinary Reality
The U.S. veterinary industry is facing a downturn that research predicts will continue into 2026:
Client visits down approximately 3% year-over-year
52% of pet owners have skipped or declined needed veterinary care due to cost
79% of practices report staff turnover among veterinary technicians, with burnout as the primary reason
Practice revenues up, but visits down, meaning higher prices, fewer patients
The AI Implementation Challenge
According to MIT, 94% of businesses fail to successfully implement AI solutions. Why? Because implementation requires more than just technology. It requires change management, adoption strategy, and leadership coaching. That's where most AI fails.
That's what we solve.
THE SOLUTION: Four Problems We Solve
Operationalize AI. Eliminate Bottlenecks.
Increase Profitability.
Here's what actually changes your practice.
WHY AI + CHANGE MANAGEMENT MATTERS
Implementation Fails Without Adoption.
We Fix Both.
94% of AI projects fail because technology isn't enough.
The Reality of AI Implementation
Technology alone wont fix your processes. Your team has to adopt it, trust it, and want to use it. Poorly implemented AI creates resistance, frustration, and wasted investment. Most practices install tools nobody uses.
"The problem isn't just technology; it's adoption. My differentiator is ensuring success through change management and leadership coaching."
— Tracey Johnson
LeadForward Solutions implements tools AND coaches your team through adoption. We address fears openly, help leaders guide change, and make AI stick.
AI Won't Replace Your Staff
AI will not replace your veterinarians, technicians, or receptionists. It eliminates busywork so your team can focus on patient care, client relationships, clinical decision-making.
"AI will not replace your staff. We believe in implementing efficiencies to help them be more productive, focusing them back on high-value patient and client care."
— Tracey Johnson
Your team's value is in judgment, compassion, and expertise. AI handles the rest.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About AI Implementation for Veterinary Leaders
What veterinary leaders ask before they commit.
Will AI replace my staff?
No. AI eliminates busywork so your team focuses on clinical care and client relationships. Your team's value is in judgment and compassion, not data entry.
Is AI only for large practices?
No. AI works for any size: solo practitioners, small groups, multi-location hospitals, specialty practices, emergency clinics. We identify which workflows have the highest impact for your specific practice.
What if my team resists change?
Resistance is normal. We coach you on communication, address concerns openly, and help your team see benefits early. Adoption happens when people feel heard and see results.
How long until I see results?
Most practices see improvements within 30 days. Full implementation takes 12 to 16 weeks. Measurable ROI typically shows in 3 to 6 months.
What if I have zero technical experience?
We handle all technical implementation and train your team. You focus on leadership and patient care. We're the tech experts.
How much will this cost?
Pricing depends on practice size and scope. Assessments start at $3,000. Implementations range from $10,000 to $15,000. Most practices see ROI within 3 to 6 months.

ABOUT TRACEY JOHNSON
From 25 Years of Operations to Building the Future
How 25 years of solving the same problems led to AI.
Tracey spent 25 years solving operational problems in veterinary practices: general practices, specialty hospitals, urgent care, emergency clinics, multi-location networks, $101 million territories.
She watched the same problems repeat: burnout, inefficiency, missed profitability. Even when she redesigned workflows and coached leaders the results were real but limited by human capacity. Post-COVID, demand exploded. Teams burned out. When the market shifted, practices had exhausted staff and outdated workflows.
Tracey realized AI wasn't a future opportunity. It was a present necessity. But most AI consultants don't understand veterinary operations. They sell generic tools. Implementations failed because they ignored the human element. She built something different: deep operational expertise combined with AI innovation and proven change leadership.
"My goal is simple: transform how your practice works so you can achieve More Profit, More Time, and Less Stress using Artificial Intelligence."
— Tracey Johnson
Tracey believes technology should serve people, not replace them.
AI should honor what you've built while positioning your practice for what's next.
