The roadmap your CTO can defend and your CEO can fund.
For companies whose AI plan exists in slides but hasn't survived the operating model. A phased plan your board can approve — and named owners for each move.
What this engagement delivers
Most AI plans break before the first model ships because nobody asked the operating-model question. We diagnose what your business actually needs — products, teams, platforms, governance — and produce the phased plan that survives the board review and the org chart that follows.
What's included
- An operating-model map of where AI work has to land — products, teams, platforms, governance — and where strategy and operations have to align before the build starts
- AI opportunity audit across the customer-facing process and back-office workflows — with the cuts named, not just the wins
- Build-vs-buy decisions per opportunity, with the rationale defensible to a CFO
- Phased roadmap (typically 3 / 6 / 12 months) with named owners and named decisions, not just named workstreams
- Business case sized for board approval — the case the CEO needs to fund the next twelve months
Who it's for
Companies whose AI plan exists in a deck and hasn't survived contact with the operating model. Mid-market enterprises and scaling SMEs that recognise the org isn't AI-ready and don't yet know what to do. Leadership teams whose recent strategy engagement produced PowerPoint that the operators couldn't run.
Evidence
Twenty years of enterprise data-warehouse and Agile delivery diagnosis across retail, postal services, automotive, and industrial — applied to AI in 2026. Roadmap engagements run ahead of build, not in parallel.
