Design your AI strategy

AI is advancing rapidly, bringing both new opportunities and challenges. Few organisations are equipped to stay on top of it all, let alone develop a plan of attack. With disruption certain, how should you respond?

We are former CTOs, Directors of Research, and academics that have delivered state-of-the-art AI solutions in logistics, finance, and entertainment. We take board-level ambitions and design a realistic plan, grounded in experience and backed by all involved.

Our Approach

We like to keep things simple. We build a business case in monthly iterations with clear goals. Each iteration produces a choice point for stakeholders: do we continue and where do we go next?

PHASES

Proposal. After introductory calls we write a proposal with our understanding of the situation and engagement model. If agreed we start the project.

Scope. Set executive-level framework and goals. Decide what is in and out of scope and stakeholders involved.

Discovery. Through workshops and research we facilitate the creation of use cases and possible bets. We manage the process of mapping uncertainties, doing experiments, and aligning stakeholders.

Design. If a business case has the go-ahead we drive the design process, considering organisational, operational, technical, and other relevant aspects.

Delivery. We stay involved to manage organisational change and keep delivery on track. If desired we can help build the in-house capability or manage external teams.

Evaluation. The data-driven approach to measuring impact starts being defined at the discovery phase. We ensure an objective assessment is made and the ROI is realised.
