Make AI an operating capability
Five decisions that turn an AI initiative into something a business can own and improve.
For executives and transformation sponsors
Insights & practical guides
Our thinking on the work behind enterprise AI: what to build, how to know it works, and who owns it next.
For the leaders making the investment,
the teams building it,
and the people making it work.
Start here / Our perspective
Buying access to a model is one decision. Building a workflow your business can accept, operate, and improve takes several more.
Read the perspectiveFive decisions that matter
Define the outcome and its owner.
Design judgment into the workflow.
Test what must go right—and what can fail.
Prepare the team to operate it.
Measure the work after release.
01 / Choose the work
Define where AI belongs, what success means, and whether the work is worth changing.
Five decisions that turn an AI initiative into something a business can own and improve.
For executives and transformation sponsors
A practical way to compare AI opportunities, test the business case, and decide whether to build, buy, improve, or stop.
For business sponsors and transformation leads
02 / Build with evidence
Connect knowledge, evaluate real work, and distinguish a plausible response from an accepted outcome.
Build an evaluation set that tests completed work, difficult inputs, permissions, and failure recovery—not just plausible answers.
For engineering leads, domain reviewers, and release owners
Design source ownership, permissions, retrieval, and answer acceptance together so people can inspect and use the result.
For knowledge owners, architects, and service leaders
Separate what an AI system says happened from the evidence needed to accept its work.
For architects, engineering leads, and control owners
03 / Own the capability
Prepare the people, responsibilities, and operating practices that keep the workflow useful.
The decisions, handover assets, and change controls that keep an AI workflow usable after the implementation team leaves.
For operating owners, delivery sponsors, and procurement teams
Assess business value, context, controls, and ownership together. Turn unanswered questions into decisions with an owner and evidence.
