Strategy
Major Pain points - high risk impact
Prioritize AI initiatives that address your most critical challenges. We'll help you identify high-risk areas where AI can have the greatest impact, mitigating potential threats and maximizing ROI.
Bucket list - with tangible upside
Translate your AI aspirations into concrete goals. We'll work with you to create a "bucket list" of AI projects with clear, measurable benefits and tangible upside potential.
Budget - capital allocation and resources
We will help you prioritise from your bucketlist above, ensuring your AI initiatives run seamlessly with adequate resources and tools for the allocated budget.

Issues and bottlenecks
Failure to start
Disruptive forces like AI, Automation or niche technology, by definition won’t be perfect to start with. We'll help you overcome inertia by defining a clear starting point, securing buy-in from stakeholders, and building a solid foundation.
Failure to sustain
We'll establish processes for continuous improvement, knowledge transfer, and ongoing support, ensuring your AI solutions remain relevant and effective.

Our approach to Automation and AI first Consulting
We value simplified transformation and running innovation as a process. Our favourite approach is to view the projects using 3X3 steps, below, starting with multi-layer research and ends with realising the business value.
Our approach to Automation and AI-first consulting is built on three pillars: Re-imagine, Roadmap, and Result. We begin by Re-imagining your business processes, conducting thorough research, envisioning future possibilities, and designing optimal solutions. Next, we create a clear Roadmap, prioritizing key areas, planning meticulously, and producing actionable steps. Finally, we focus on delivering tangible Results. This involves adapting strategies, measuring progress, and realizing your business goals. This structured approach ensures that our clients achieve maximum value from their automation and AI initiatives.
Our Multi-layer Research
Competency in writing codes and building automated workflows are a necessary but not sufficient condition for success. AI and Automation codifies trends from data, current processes, past business experiments and prevailing culture in the org, which in turn have guides and guardrails from different divisions such as Governance and strategic intent. We conduct multiple lens analysis and weigh in resilience, besides standard risk and reward trade-offs.
Our Automation and AI consulting framework is built on a comprehensive approach that considers all vital aspects. We begin by evaluating the Strategic Fit, encompassing scope, governance, risk, and compliance. At the core, we focus on Process, Data, AI, Automation, Culture, and Experiments, ensuring a holistic and integrated solution. Finally, we address Project requirements, including resources, technology, platform selection, and change management, to ensure successful implementation and adoption.
