Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in an AI strategy engagement?+
A typical engagement includes a current-state assessment, identification and prioritisation of AI use cases, a phased implementation roadmap, a governance framework, and a business case with projected ROI for each initiative.
How long does an AI strategy project take?+
Most AI strategy engagements take between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the organisation. A focused strategy for a single department can be completed in 2 to 3 weeks.
Do we need data scientists on our team before starting?+
No. The strategy phase identifies what capabilities you need, not what you already have. We assess your current team, recommend the right skills mix, and advise on whether to build in-house, outsource, or use a managed service.
What industries do you provide AI strategy for?+
We work across multiple sectors including healthcare, logistics, financial services, and professional services. Each strategy is tailored to the regulatory and operational context of the industry.
How does AI strategy differ from AI implementation?+
Strategy defines what to build, in what order, and why. Implementation is the technical delivery of those solutions. Many clients begin with a strategy engagement and move to implementation once priorities are agreed.
