Strategic AI Consulting

A board-ready 12-month AI roadmap, built inside your operations. Not another sales deck.

The Problem

Five vendors. Conflicting advice. No clarity.

Most boards are pushing leadership for an AI strategy without anyone in the room having a clear view of what's worth doing. You've taken meetings with five vendors. Each pitched their tool as the answer. None of them understood your operations.

Without a clear-eyed assessment of where AI actually moves the needle in your business, you're stuck choosing between buying the loudest pitch or doing nothing. Both are bad options.

A Score is the antidote. Inside your operations, then a board-ready 12-month roadmap that ranks AI opportunities by impact, effort, and risk. You walk away with a plan, not another deck.

What We Actually Do

From operational audit to prioritised plan.

01

Operational audit

Cross-departmental discovery: where time is spent, where decisions get stuck, where data lives, where AI could plausibly help.

02

Use case scoring

Each candidate AI application scored against impact, effort, risk, and fit with your business model. The shortlist is defensible.

03

12-month phased roadmap

Sequenced by ROI and dependency. Quick wins first; bigger plays later. Each phase has a measurable outcome.

04

Risk and compliance map

For regulated industries, what guardrails are needed, what audit evidence to capture, what to tell your board.

Where It Fits

Score is where every engagement begins.

Strategic AI Consulting lives at the start of every engagement: the Score phase. Before any agent gets designed, you need clarity on what's worth designing. The Score produces the brief that informs Compose, the constraints that shape Rehearse, and the outcomes you'll measure in Perform.

Pairs with: AI Governance & Safety (the risk lens) and the full methodology.

In Practice

Real clarity, real outcomes.

Hive now have clarity on our IT roadmap and the areas where we need to prioritise our future technology investments.
