What does the AI-Si engagement process look like from first contact to delivery?

The process has five phases: a 48-hour assessment of AI readiness and opportunity, a 30-day quick wins sprint, a 3-to-6-month scale phase, an ongoing sustainability phase, and a defined exit or evolution point. Every phase has clear deliverables and measurable success criteria.

What does a board receive as deliverables from an AI engagement?

Deliverables include an AI readiness report, a prioritised use case roadmap, a governance framework, vendor evaluation and selection support, staff training, implementation oversight, and monthly board-level progress reporting against agreed KPIs.

What happens in the first 30 days of an AI-Si engagement?

The first 30 days focus on assessment and quick wins. AI-Si audits your data, processes, and systems, identifies two to three high-value automation opportunities, and delivers the first measurable result. This builds internal confidence before committing to larger investment.

How does AI-Si measure success for an AI project?

Success is defined before any work begins. AI-Si does not accept vague briefs. Metrics are specific and measurable: hours saved per week, cost per transaction reduced, error rate improvement, or staff capacity freed. If you cannot define success in advance, that work happens first.

Does AI-Si work on-site or remotely?

AI-Si works remotely for most engagement activities including strategy, governance, and reporting. On-site sessions are available for workshops, board presentations, and training. Clients are based across the UK from Birmingham to London, Edinburgh, and beyond.

Common Questions

How long does a typical engagement last?

Most organisations need 3 to 6 months for strategy and initial delivery. Many continue on retainer for ongoing support, implementation of new use cases, and quarterly reviews.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both. Monthly on-site visits keep momentum and alignment tight. Remote sessions handle day-to-day work. This blend works best for most organisations.

What happens after the engagement ends?

You keep all documentation, tools, and frameworks we build. Your team becomes self-sufficient. Champions you develop internally sustain adoption. You own the outcomes.
