AI Strategy & Adoption

Overview

Who it is for. CEOs, boards, CIOs and transformation leads who already have AI activity in the organisation - licences, pilots, vendor proposals - and no shared view of what it adds up to.

The problem. Adoption is no longer the hard part. In global surveys most organisations now report using AI, yet reported profit impact lags far behind usage. Efforts stall for familiar reasons: many thin pilots, success counted in licences and prompts rather than cycle time or cost, no owner for redesigning the workflow, and data residency or procurement constraints discovered late.

What we do. We inventory use cases and unsanctioned tools, score each workflow for value and feasibility, and make buy-versus-build and stop decisions explicit. We define the operating model: who owns the platform, who owns each use case and how stage gates work. Then we run adoption as a programme, not a webinar: role-based enablement, a champions network, progress measured in cohorts and an acceptable-use policy. AI literacy is part of it: Article 4 of the AI Act requires providers and deployers to take measures that support the AI literacy of their staff.

What you get. A portfolio the board can govern, a 12-18 month roadmap with stage gates tied to business metrics, a 90-day backlog and teams that know how to use the tools they have been given. Our Boardroom Simulator accelerator is the usual starting point.

How we work

At Keter AI, every engagement moves through the same four layers, in the order of our mark: strategy, architecture, delivery, governance. Each layer ends in something you can inspect and keep: a decision, a design, a working system, a set of controls. The depth changes with the service; the order does not.

Strategy

01

We start from the business problem: which decisions and workflows AI should improve, what that is worth and what must be true first.

Architecture

02

We design the system around your constraints: data boundaries, model strategy, integrations, evaluation and where it will run.

Delivery

03

We build with real data and real users, in short increments, until the system passes its evaluation set and is ready for production.

Governance

04

We leave controls that last: named owners, monitoring, an audit trail, documentation and a clear view of AI Act duties.

Deliverables

Each output is written to be used, not filed. Together they give the board a basis for investment decisions and give teams a first backlog they can start on straight away. Scope is sized to the organisation: a focused AI Readiness Assessment takes 2-4 weeks, a full portfolio and adoption programme takes longer.

01

AI use-case and tool inventory

A complete list of AI use cases, pilots, licences and unsanctioned tools, with owners, data involved and current status.

02

Scored portfolio of AI bets

Each initiative scored for value, feasibility, risk and data readiness, with an explicit decision: scale, buy, build or stop.
