FOR OWNERS & PE · FIXED SCOPE

AI / Value Sprint

In about 100 days: realized savings, a roadmap tied to your business goals, and — in the AI variant — a working AI agent in production, not a slide deck.

The problem

IT is underperforming or overspending, and AI is stuck at the talking stage. You want quick, real wins and a credible plan — without committing to a long engagement blind.

What's included

  • A rapid diagnostic of infrastructure, cloud, vendors and organisation
  • Quick cost wins: cloud optimisation and contract renegotiation
  • A 12–18 month roadmap tied to business goals
  • A prioritised risk-remediation plan
  • AI variant: identify and ship one or two agentic use-cases with measurable ROI, plus an AI roadmap and an infrastructure-needs assessment

How it works

  1. 01

    Weeks 1–2 — Diagnose. — Infrastructure, cloud bills, contracts, organisation, and candidate AI use-cases.

  2. 02

    Weeks 3–8 — Execute quick wins. — Realise savings; in the AI variant, build and test the agent.

  3. 03

    Weeks 9–13 — Ship & roadmap. — Agent in production, roadmap and risk register delivered, handover.

What you get

A realised-savings figure, a prioritised roadmap and a risk register; in the AI variant, a live agentic workflow with its economics attached.

Format & pricing

Fixed project, roughly 90–100 days.

By inquiry

Where this fits

A fast way in for owners, and a strong post-deal move for funds. It flows naturally into ongoing Fractional CIO leadership to execute the roadmap. See the paths for Owners & CEOs and for Private Equity.

FAQ

Can you really put an AI agent in production in ~100 days?
Yes, for a scoped, high-ROI use-case. The sprint deliberately targets one or two workflows rather than boiling the ocean.
What if we want the savings and roadmap, but not AI yet?
That's the standard Value Sprint; the AI agent is the variant. You choose the focus at kickoff.
