🤫 Why You’ll Want to Read This
The creators of ChatGPT, OpenAI, have just launched GPT-5 — their most advanced model yet. The headlines say it’s faster, smarter, and better at reasoning than ever before. But here’s the catch: new doesn’t always mean right.
Some users are already praising its capabilities. Others claim it has “lost its soul” — feeling less human, more mechanical.
This is the classic hype cycle we see in transformation projects: the shiny object syndrome.
As a transformation leader, your job isn’t to chase the hype, but to deliver sustainable change.
Here’s what we’ll cover:

Whether you’re hiring a transformation partner or reviewing your current strategy, this guide will help you cut through the noise—and choose capability over consultancy theatre..
Let’s get into it 👉
Your Task
Your task is deciding whether to adopt GPT-5 in your transformation programme. The stakes are high: implement the wrong tech, and you join the 70% of transformations that fail.
At HOBA®, we treat technology as one of four levers — alongside People, Process, and Data. It’s never the whole solution. Using our six-step HOBA® Agile Business Transformation Framework, here’s how to approach this decision.
Step-by-Step: How to Assess GPT-5 for Your Transformation
1. Focus (Why?)
Define the real problem or opportunity. Are you looking to speed up analysis, automate tasks, or improve decision-making?
2. Control (Who?)
Identify the stakeholders. Who will use GPT-5? Who will be impacted?
3. Analyse (What?)
Map the processes and data GPT-5 would touch. Is the data clean? Are the processes efficient?
4. Evaluate (2nd Why?)
Define the benefits. What measurable outcomes do you expect?
5. Design (Where & How?)
Plan the integration. Which systems, workflows, and teams will GPT-5 work with?
6. Implement (When?)
Define rollout timing, training needs, and benefit realisation checkpoints.
👏 "In transformation, technology is just one of four levers — People, Process, Technology, Data. GPT-5 might be powerful, but without the other three, it’s just another shiny object." 💡 — Heath Gascoigne, Creator of HOBA® 🚀
How to Make the Process More Efficient
💡 Tip 1:
Pilot before scaling. Test GPT-5 in a small, low-risk process.
💡 Tip 2:
Keep humans in the loop. Use AI to assist, not replace, decision-making.
💡 Tip 3:
Track ROI from day one — measure time saved, errors reduced, and revenue impact.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Mistake 1:
Adopting GPT-5 without a clear business case.
❌ Mistake 2:
Automating broken processes.
❌ Mistake 3:
Ignoring governance and compliance requirements.

FAQs & Troubleshooting
Q: GPT-5 is faster — should we just replace GPT-4 immediately?
A: Not without assessing your current use cases. Faster output means little if it’s not aligned to business goals.
Q: What if our team isn’t technical?
A: That’s fine — HOBA® is designed for business-led transformation. Start with the problem definition, not the tech spec.
Conclusion — People First, Always
AI is moving fast. GPT-5 will not be the last “game-changing” release we see this year. But the winners in transformation will be those who stay grounded — starting with people, process, and data, and letting technology support the journey.
