An AI strategy that survives contact with reality.
A multi-year plan tied to business outcomes, target operating model, reference architecture and the governance to keep it on track. Designed to hand directly into delivery - and into the team that actually ships.
Three signals you're ready for this work.
"AI strategy that nobody outside the steering committee remembers."
Operating model, KPI tree and architecture every team can act on.
"Tech roadmap and business strategy moving in different directions."
Single blueprint linking ambition, P&L, capability and architecture.
"New CDAO inheriting a strategy nobody believes."
Credible, evidence-led plan with explicit assumptions and stage gates.
What clients see.
How we work.
Ambition, guiding principles and outcome KPIs locked with the executive team.
Team topology, CoE charter, intake and stage-gate process designed.
Reference architecture, platform direction, build-vs-buy memo.
3-year investment plan, KPI tree, governance cadence, IC sign-off.

European retail group · Strategy refresh.
Replaced a 4-year-old AI strategy with a blueprint the board, the engineers and the CFO all signed.
Asked and answered.
30 / 60 / 90.
Ambition, principles, KPIs signed by exec team.
CoE charter, team topology, intake live in pilot mode.
Architecture, investment plan, governance - IC sign-off.
A delivery partner, not a deck factory.
Same team that writes the blueprint mobilizes the first flagship use-cases.
EU AI Act, ISO 42001, sector controls embedded - not bolted on later.
Reference architecture written by people who've shipped at scale, not slideware.
Sovereignty, data residency, sector rules baked into the operating model.
A strategy your board funds and your engineers respect.
Twelve weeks. One blueprint. Zero shelfware.
