AI adoption is not just a technology rollout. It changes how people learn, collaborate, make decisions, and build new habits.

Approvals can help you add the right guardrails, but they can also slow recognition down if they are too broad or too layered. Awardco’s updated Approval Configuration gives you more flexible If/Then routing, which means you can be more intentional about when approvals happen and who should review them. Done well, that…
