From a one-day session to embedded leadership
Getting value from AI is not a single intervention. It needs different support at different points. I offer four engagements, listed in order of commitment.
Six-Layer Leadership Workshop
A one-day facilitated session with your senior team, structured around the six layers. It produces a fast, honest view of where your operating model is ready for AI and where it is not.
It suits leadership teams who want to test their thinking before committing to a larger programme, or who are preparing a board conversation about AI. It can also run as a masterclass for a wider management group.
Delivered in one day, on site or online. Output: a summary assessment and recommended next steps.
AI Operating Model Readiness Assessment
A structured three to four week diagnostic of your operating model against all six layers, using the maturity model from my book, The AI Works. Your Operating Model Doesn’t. It identifies where your AI programmes are exposed and why.
The output is a prioritised report: the two or three design changes most likely to improve results, in the order they need to be made.
It suits organisations moving from pilots to scale, those early in an AI programme, and leadership teams who sense their AI investment is underperforming but have not diagnosed why.
Delivered over three to four weeks. Output: a written assessment and a facilitated leadership debrief.
Operating Model Design
A substantive engagement to redesign the layers that are holding your AI programme back. That might mean mapping which tasks AI performs and who is accountable for the output. It might mean redesigning a process so that handoffs and exceptions are explicit, or building the governance framework every new deployment is assessed against.
It suits organisations scaling AI across several functions, or those whose programme needs the operating model redesigned and not adjusted.
Delivered over eight to sixteen weeks, working closely with your leadership team. Output: redesigned layers, ready to implement.
Fractional Transformation Director
Senior transformation leadership without a full-time hire. I work as an embedded member of your leadership team for an agreed number of days each month, providing oversight, structural thinking and delivery discipline.
It works well for organisations that have the people and energy to execute but need experienced senior guidance to keep the design sound and the governance clear. A lighter advisory version, with regular sessions and review of key decisions, is available for teams with strong internal capability.
Structured as a monthly retainer, with scope agreed in advance and reviewed quarterly.
