Decide it once,
write it down.
Before anything gets built, it's worth knowing what's worth building. We look at how your organisation actually works, find where AI would genuinely help, say plainly where it wouldn't—then put it in writing in language your whole team can act on.
What you end up holding.
Strategy work is easy to sell and hard to pin down, so here is exactly what you have at the end of it.
An honest assessment
Where AI genuinely fits the way you work, and where the claims don't survive contact with it. The second list matters as much as the first, and it is the one most people aren't given.
A prioritised roadmap
What to do first, what to leave alone for now, and a realistic sense of what each step costs to build and to keep running. Sequenced so the early wins pay for the later work.
A written AI use policy
What staff may and may not put into public tools, how that sits with your obligations under the Privacy Act 2020, who signs off on what, and what happens when someone gets it wrong. Written to be read by the people it applies to.
Tool choices you can defend
We don't resell anything and we don't take commissions, so the recommendation is just the recommendation—including when it is that you already own something that does the job.
How we
get there.
Find out what's already happening
Staff are almost always using these tools before there's a policy about them. We start from what's actually in use, not from a blank page, because a policy written in ignorance of that is a policy nobody follows.
Separate the real from the hype
We go through the work your organisation does and sort it: genuinely suited to AI today, worth revisiting in a year, and better left to people. We'll argue for the third category when it's the right answer.
Write it down in plain language
A policy only works if the people bound by it can read it. One or two pages, specific about your tools and your data, with examples—not a document that exists to be filed.
Agree what happens next
The roadmap, who owns each step, and a date to look at it again. This field moves fast enough that a strategy with no review built into it is out of date within the year.
Most of these are easier to deal with before someone outside the business asks about them.
- Someone has asked what your AI plan is, and there isn't one yet.
- Staff are already using AI tools, with no guidance on what's safe to put into them.
- A client, insurer or tender has started asking how you use AI.
- You need a position you can defend to a board, an auditor or a customer.
- Tools have been bought that nobody is using, and nobody is sure why.
- Everyone has an opinion about AI and no two of them agree.
