AI & intelligent services

Decide where AI is worth doing — before anyone builds it.

We work with leadership, IT and the people who own the process to separate the AI ideas that will pay for themselves from the ones that will not, and to leave you with a roadmap your organisation can deliver.

Opportunity assessment · Value cases · Operating model · Roadmap · Adoption

01 — Why programmes stall

Most AI programmes do not fail on the model.
They fail on the choice of problem.

Pilots multiply, budget gets spread thin and nothing reaches production, because nobody agreed up front which problems mattered, who owned them, or what working would look like.

Advisory work here is short and evidence-led. We look at your processes, data and systems as they actually are, size the opportunities against real constraints, and put them in an order that builds capability rather than debt.

You end with a decision rather than a deck: what to fund now, what to prove first, what to leave alone, and what has to be true for each of them to work.

02 — The picture we build

Your opportunities, mapped against value and feasibility.

SEE THE WHOLE PORTFOLIO BEFORE YOU FUND ANY OF IT.

03 — What the engagement covers

Six pieces of work, sized to the decision in front of you.

What we look at

Process and workflow documentation

Systems and integration landscape

Data availability, quality and ownership

Existing pilots and what they showed

Security, risk and regulatory constraints

Skills, capacity and delivery model

What you leave with

Opportunity mapValue casesPrioritised roadmapOperating modelGovernance baselineAdoption plan

AI opportunity assessment

Structured discovery across your functions — where work is slow, manual, judgement-heavy or knowledge-bound — turned into a candidate list with an owner and a hypothesis attached to each entry.

Value cases and prioritisation

Each candidate sized on the value it moves, the data it needs, the systems it touches and the risk it carries, then ranked so the sequence holds up in a budget meeting.

Target operating model

Who owns AI, where the platform team sits, how business units request and fund work, and what stays central — governance, security, evaluation — against what federates out.

AI roadmap

A dated sequence of proofs, pilots and production releases, with the platform and data work that has to land alongside them rather than after.

Governance and policy foundations

The policies, approval gates and risk controls you need before the first system goes live, aligned to your regulatory position and to emerging AI regulation.

Adoption and change enablement

The part roadmaps skip: role changes, training, communication and the measurement that tells you whether people actually use what was built.

04 — Decisions worth making early

The six questions leadership teams keep returning to.

These are what the first wave of pilots usually surfaces — and what advisory work exists to settle.

01

Build, buy or wait

Where a product already solves it, where the differentiator justifies building, and where the honest answer is not yet.

02

Central or federated

Which capabilities belong to a platform team and which belong to the business units closest to the work.

03

Sequencing

Which proof has to succeed before the next investment is defensible, and what platform work has to land in parallel.

04

Data readiness

What has to be true about your data before a use case is worth attempting, and what it costs to get there.

05

Risk appetite

Where human approval is mandatory, where autonomy is acceptable, and how that gets written down before build starts.

06

Measurement

The baseline you take now, so the value claimed later can be evidenced rather than asserted.

05 — How the engagement runs

Weeks, not quarters.

Advisory that runs longer than the decision it informs has already failed. We keep it short and hand over working artefacts.

01Week 1

Frame

Agree the decision, the scope and who has to be in the room.

02Weeks 1–3

Discover

Interviews, process walkthroughs and a systems and data review across the functions in scope.

03Weeks 3–4

Assess

Size, rank and stress-test the candidates against value, feasibility and risk.

04Weeks 4–5

Decide

Roadmap, operating model and governance baseline, agreed with the people who will own delivery.

05Next

Mobilise

Stand up the first proof against a defined success measure and a named owner.

06 — How it connects

Strategy that hands over to delivery.

ONE ROADMAP. THE SAME TEAM CAN BUILD IT.

07 — Sound familiar?

The conversations that start this work.

We have a dozen AI pilots and nothing in production.

Portfolio triage

Everyone is asking for AI and we cannot tell which requests are real.

Opportunity assessment

We do not know what our AI programme should cost.

Value cases

The board wants an AI position and we do not have one.

AI strategy

We need governance in place before we go live.

Governance baseline

The pilot worked and nobody uses it.

Adoption planning

Have a problem worth solving?

Start with the decision you are stuck on.

Bring us the shortlist, the stalled pilot or the blank page. A short, focused assessment is usually enough to make the next call obvious.
