Military-grade AI meets proven change management expertise to address the $8.8 trillion global unproductive work crisis

LOS ANGELES: #AIAcquisition--Atlas UP, the military-grade AI platform trusted by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and SpaceX, today announced its acquisition of Latch, an AI-based change management platform developed by SHIFT. This strategic combination creates the first AI-powered “Chief of Staff,” tackling the significant annual productivity loss due to unproductive work and workplace inefficiencies.

"Research shows that 64% of human capital is lost to wasted work — time spent on unnecessary meetings, misaligned priorities, waiting for updates, or revisiting old decisions," said Jere Simpson, CEO of Atlas UP. "By combining our military-grade AI engine with Latch's proven change management approach, we've created a platform that helps leaders to reclaim their time, align their teams, and make better decisions faster."

Gallup's research reveals a staggering $8.8 trillion annual global cost of poor management and lost productivity, with $1.9 trillion in the U.S. alone. Teams waste time on misaligned priorities, redundant updates, and outdated information. As organizations seek solutions, the global AI market is projected to reach $1.85 trillion by 2030, with military-grade AI increasingly in demand for addressing these productivity challenges.

Atlas UP’s AI engine operates with 99% accuracy and perfect confidentiality, and Latch’s platform is known for achieving a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 85. Together, the platform serves as a 24/7 executive partner that eliminates distractions, aligns teams, and helps leaders focus on what matters most. It delivers:

  • 24/7 operational awareness by tracking team priorities, flagging risks before they escalate, and ensuring leaders stay ahead of the curve.
  • AI-driven recommendations, providing proactive insights to anticipate needs, focus on high-impact work, and avoid distractions.
  • Change acceleration through enhanced team alignment, enabling leaders to act decisively and confidently.

“We developed Latch to help leaders align their teams and drive organizational change,” said Joe Mechlinski, founder of SHIFT. “With Atlas UP, we get to amplify our impact at a critical time, changing the way we work to transform the way we live. We’re giving leaders the capacity to focus on what truly matters.”

Trusted by organizations including the Pentagon, FBI, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, U.S. Navy, EY, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Caterpillar, the combined platform is uniquely positioned to help executives strengthen their teams and eliminate unproductive work.

The integrated platform will be broadly available starting in March 2025. For more information, visit https://www.atlasup.com/.
