Turn AI potential into a concrete, phased plan. I build actionable AI implementation roadmaps that align technology decisions with business objectives -- so you move forward with clarity, not guesswork.
70%
of AI initiatives fail to move beyond the pilot stage
Most organizations don't have a technology problem. They have a strategy problem. They invest in AI tools without a clear picture of where those tools fit, how they connect to business objectives, or what success looks like. The result is a trail of expensive pilots that never scale.
The 70% failure rate isn't because AI doesn't work -- it's because companies skip the strategic foundation. They jump from "AI is important" to buying software without answering the harder questions: Which processes benefit most? What data do we actually need? Who owns the change? What's the realistic timeline?
An AI adoption strategy built on clear priorities, honest capability assessment, and phased implementation is the difference between organizations that extract real value from AI and those that just talk about it. That's what a roadmap provides -- the bridge between AI ambition and AI results.
Six core components that transform AI ambition into a structured, executable plan your entire leadership team can get behind.
A clear-eyed evaluation of where you stand today -- your data maturity, technical infrastructure, team capabilities, and organizational readiness for AI adoption.
A prioritized list of AI use cases ranked by business impact, feasibility, and strategic alignment. Not every opportunity is worth pursuing -- I help you pick the right ones first.
Vendor-neutral recommendations for the platforms, tools, and infrastructure you'll need. I map the technology to your specific use cases -- no one-size-fits-all stacks.
A sequenced, milestone-driven plan that breaks your AI journey into manageable phases. Each phase builds on the last, with clear deliverables and decision points.
Financial projections your CFO will actually trust. Investment requirements, expected returns, payback timelines, and risk-adjusted scenarios -- grounded in your real numbers.
Technology is the easy part -- people are the hard part. Your roadmap includes a plan for communication, training, role evolution, and adoption that keeps your team on board.
A structured, five-phase engagement that takes you from strategic questions to a board-ready AI implementation roadmap in 6-10 weeks.
Deep-dive interviews with leadership, department heads, and frontline teams. I map your business objectives, pain points, competitive landscape, and existing technology stack. If you've completed an AI Readiness Assessment, this phase accelerates significantly.
I evaluate every potential AI use case against three criteria: business impact, technical feasibility, and organizational readiness. Each opportunity gets scored and ranked. The result is a prioritized shortlist -- not a wish list of everything AI could theoretically do.
For each priority use case, I evaluate the technology landscape -- platforms, models, integration requirements, build-vs-buy tradeoffs. You get an objective comparison matrix, not a sales pitch for whatever vendor has the biggest marketing budget.
Everything comes together into a phased 12-18 month AI implementation roadmap. Each phase has defined milestones, resource requirements, budget projections, risk mitigation plans, and measurable success criteria. This is the document your leadership team will actually execute against.
I present the complete strategy and roadmap to your executive team or board, fielding questions and building alignment. You receive all deliverables in presentation-ready and working-document formats. No loose ends -- you walk away ready to execute.
Tangible, executive-ready documents -- not abstract frameworks that sit on a shelf.
Your comprehensive AI strategy -- vision, principles, governance framework, and strategic priorities aligned to business objectives.
A 12-18 month milestone-driven plan with phases, timelines, dependencies, resource requirements, and decision gates your team can execute against.
Vendor-neutral comparison of platforms, tools, and solutions evaluated against your specific requirements, budget, and integration constraints.
Financial modeling with investment requirements, expected returns, payback timelines, and risk-adjusted scenarios -- built for board-level scrutiny.
A presentation-ready summary designed for board meetings and leadership alignment. The strategic narrative, key findings, recommended approach, and investment overview in a format that drives decisions.
Companies that know AI matters but need a plan
You've identified AI potential in your business but aren't sure where to start, what to prioritize, or how to sequence the work. You need a roadmap, not another demo.
Post-readiness-assessment organizations
You've completed an AI Readiness Assessment and understand your starting point. Now you need the strategic plan to move forward.
CTOs, CIOs, and CDOs building the business case
You need a structured, defensible AI strategy to present to the board or C-suite -- with ROI projections, risk analysis, and a clear implementation timeline.
Board-mandated AI initiatives
The board has directed an AI strategy. You need an independent, vendor-neutral expert to build a credible plan -- not a software vendor disguised as a strategist.
Typical engagements range from $10,000-$30,000 depending on scope and organizational complexity. Factors that influence pricing include the number of business units involved, depth of technology evaluation required, and whether a prior readiness assessment has been completed.
Every engagement begins with a free strategy call where I learn about your situation and provide an honest assessment of whether this service is the right fit. No pressure, no surprises.
