1
What I do
What AI could be worth here, where the value leaks today, and in what order to act
-
2
What you get
A baseline, a digital twin of your business, and a roadmap your board can act on
-
3
What it costs you
Two to three weeks, and access to your numbers
Independent. No platform to defend, no license to resell.
01The value model
Your baseline, not my benchmark.
I do not import someone else’s percentage. I build your number in week one, from your systems, across all three kinds of value.
-
1
Baseline
Volume, cycle time, rework, escalation rate and cost to serve.
Taken from your systems, before anything is built.
-
2
Where the work is
Routine volume, judgment calls, and the knowledge work that never gets done because nobody has the hours.
Not every hour in the work is the same hour.
-
3
Value at stake
Cost released where the work was routine. Coverage where you used to sample. Capability added where people can reach work they could not.
Sized against your P&L, with the assumptions written down.
The output is a number your CFO can challenge, and a roadmap sequenced against it.
Without a before-number there is no after-number. That is the single most common reason a working pilot never gets funded into production: nobody can prove what changed.
02What lands on the table
What exists when the assessment closes.
Two to three weeks. No discovery phase, no mobilization period, no ramp‑up.
-
Week 1
The baseline
- Volume, cycle time, rework, escalation rate and cost to serve, taken from your systems
- Where the decisions actually sit in the work, and where ownership is unclear
- Where a machine could carry work the business cannot reach today
-
Week 2
The diagnosis
- Maturity and sequence across the eight dimensions
- Where value is leaking, per dimension, with the evidence behind it
- Buy, build or redesign, judged where the value is concentrated
-
Week 3
The mandate
- A digital twin of the business: a working model you can question, which every later step builds on
- Prioritized roadmap, sequenced against the dependency order
- Value at stake per priority, sized against the week one baseline
- Board-ready readout, walked through in a working session
03What I need from you
Access, three sessions, one sponsor.
-
1
Access to the numbers
Read access to the systems the work runs on, or an analyst who can pull from them. The baseline is built from your own numbers, not from a benchmark.
-
2
Three working sessions
One to frame, one to test the diagnosis against the people who do the work, one to walk the readout. Where the workflow crosses more ground than that covers, I add interviews with the people closest to it. Everything else runs without you.
-
3
One person who can convene it end to end
A sponsor with the authority to put everyone the process touches in one room. This is the single requirement that decides whether the work lands.
Fixed scope, fixed price
The scope and the price are agreed before the work starts, and neither moves.
The delivery guarantee
No prioritized, board-ready roadmap, no invoice.
04Scale
Written for an enterprise. It runs on one department, or on a single workflow.
The same method needs less time when the scope is one workflow. And in a smaller organization the person who can change the operating model is usually already in the room, which removes the single most common reason this work stalls.
05Also available
Two longer ways to bring me in.
The assessment is the entry point. Where the operating model then has to be built, there is operating model design at six to ten weeks, and once the design is yours, standing advisory alongside your team.
06Where it starts
Three weeks from now: a complete scan of your organization, a digital twin of it, and a roadmap your board can act on.
The first step is a conversation of thirty minutes to an hour about what the business has to be able to do next year, and an honest answer about whether this is the right work to buy. If it is, a deck made for your business follows, with the proposal in it.
The operating model is the difference
Between AI ambition and enterprise value.
A useful first conversation
Tell me what the business has to be able to do next year. I will show you where AI could add the most: which work a machine could take on, and what stays with your people. If it is worth doing, a deck made for your business follows: where it could start, a first estimate of what that is worth, and a proposal.
Thirty minutes to an hour. No obligation. Bring the target you have to hit next year.
