The adoption of Applied Machine Learning (ML) in organizational processes is a paradigm shift to an automated system based on rules to one based on patterns and optimization. Although the digital transformation can be considered in the context of the technological procurement, the success of its implementation is largely prescribed by the structural correspondence of the ML systems to the production functions of the organization. This study focuses on exploring how ML streamlines operations, minimizes workflow bottlenecks, and boosts systemic efficiencies within diverse corporate environments.
Based on the modern institutional theory, we take the position that the scaling crisis of digital transformation is largely due to the capacity wedge the difference between the theoretical efficiency of ML and its actual output under administrative load (Gupa, 2024). This paper offers a replicable model of maximizing the value of digital investments through the synthesis of models of predictive analytics, intelligent process automation (IPA), and human-centric capacity building. The results indicate that in order to make ML a sustainable productivity shock, organizations need to overcome the latent access tax of the fragmented legacy systems. Finally, the study maintains that the real digital change would be achieved through a recursive process of feedback between administrative simplification and algorithmic accuracy to enable organizational resilience in the long term.
