Know where AI pays off before you build

One assessment across finance, operations and shared services. You leave with a prioritized backlog, a business case your CFO can defend and a 12-month roadmap.

AI & Automation Strategy is a fixed-scope assessment, typically 4-6 weeks, that ranks candidate processes across finance, operations and shared services, sizes the business case for each, and delivers a prioritized backlog, a 12-month roadmap and a scoped first pilot.

What changes in the operation

  • One ranked backlog

    Candidates from finance, operations and shared services are scored on the same criteria, so budget follows value instead of the loudest sponsor.

  • A business case finance can defend

    Each candidate is sized on hours, error cost and run cost, with the assumptions written down so your CFO can challenge them.

  • The right tool for each process

    Each process goes to an agent, RPA, an API or a person, depending on where judgment, determinism and accountability are needed.

How it runs, and what you receive

  1. Frame the decision

    Agree goals, constraints, sponsors and the decisions the plan has to support.

  2. Map the work

    Interview process owners, shadow operators and read system data to build a longlist of candidates.

  3. Size and rank

    Score each candidate on value, feasibility and risk, build the business case and choose the tool for each process.

  4. Approve the plan

    Executive readout, written roadmap and operating model, pilot scope and the options for what comes next.

You receive

  • Prioritized backlog
  • Quantified business case
  • 12-month roadmap
  • Target operating model
  • Architecture view
  • First pilot scope

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to implement with you?

No. The plan is vendor-neutral and written so your team, us or another partner can execute it. If you do continue with us, the team that wrote the plan is the team that builds it.

Is this only about AI agents?

No. The assessment decides process by process whether an agent, RPA, an API, custom software or a person is the right answer. Many processes need a mix.

Who leads the engagement?

A named lead from our team, supported by process and architecture specialists as the scope requires.
