Outcomes you can expect

• AI operating stack tuned for both customer and organizational impact
• Best practices library for scaling and sustaining AI initiatives
• Knowledge exchange model to share learnings across teams and vendors
• Metrics & benchmarks framework to measure adoption, impact, and ROI
• 90-day quick wins to operationalize and test AI stack improvements
• 12–18 month integration roadmap aligned with business objectives
• Executive narrative to drive adoption, trust, and investment

• Develop metrics, scorecards, and benchmark framework
• Validate with leadership, governance, and operating teams

Week 5–6: Roadmap & Mobilize

• Finalize operating stack, best practices, and benchmarks
• Deliver 90-day quick wins and 12–18 month roadmap
• Prepare executive narrative & delivery plan

(Timelines can flex based on scope and team availability.)

What we need from you
