AI Strategy and Implementation Planning
I work with smaller enterprises to figure out AI, make plans, and implement in a people-focused way.
Your business is under pressure to figure out AI
You're unsure what your enterprise should be doing with AI. Perhaps you've assigned out AI strategy, only to see your teams get stuck, their recommendations don't take, or pilot projects produce little that’s useful. You're being pitched random tech solutions. Your people are freelancing.
You worry that AI might be an unnecessary distraction. You want to avoid AI for AI's sake. And you want no part of the idea that AI replaces good people.
It's a lot. And all the while, you fear you may be allowing the business to fall behind.
That's where I come in. With C-suite fluency and a facilitator's touch, I work alongside executive-level leaders who know AI matters and are realizing that delegating it to tech teams in isolation doesn't cut it. Together we build AI strategy, create implementation and change-management plans, and drive the organizational change needed to enable your organization to act intelligently—combining AI capabilities with human judgment to deliver better results.
Here’s how we can help
-
AI Strategy
Identify ways that AI could be a source of real value generation for your business and cultivation for your people. Work together to translate those opportunities into clear, actionable organizational strategy with implementation roadmaps.
-
AI Change Management
Solve for the most important part of successful AI implementations – the people part. Orchestrate the implementation of AI strategy in a manner that your people understand, believe in, and are eager to support and embrace.
-
AI Plans
Build business cases, plans, budgets, and timetables to go from newly formed AI strategy to accountable implementation. Work together to spell out the gritty details and then manage the deployment, governance, and dynamics that will make or break success.
-
