Executive AI Value Workshop
One day that turns your leadership team's AI ambition into five costed, ranked opportunities with a named owner against each — plus a live demonstration built on one of your own problems and a board-ready summary.
AI consulting for enterprises and the public sector
Advice that survives contact with reality.
Independent AI consulting for enterprises and public-sector organisations — a fixed fee agreed before we start, a decision you can act on, and advice that stays independent of who eventually builds.

The decisions that matter are taken before anyone builds.
The programmes that stall rarely fail on engineering. They fail earlier — on a use case chosen because it was visible rather than valuable, data that was never prepared for the job it is being asked to do, no integration path into the systems people actually use, no governance to approve anything for production, and no named owner once the vendor leaves the room.
“None of those are engineering problems.”
Those are decisions about value, data, architecture, governance and ownership. That is the work we do — before a budget is committed, and independently of who eventually builds. Once the roadmap is agreed, implementation can be sourced from your own teams, your existing integrator, or from us — priced separately, and never assumed.
From question to decision
Six engagements, entered at any point — from a single executive day to an ongoing advisory partnership. Each one ends in a decision you can act on.
AI Opportunity & Readiness Assessment
A readiness scorecard across data, technology, organisation, skills, governance and security; your use cases scored on value, feasibility and risk; business cases for the priorities; and a sequenced roadmap written to serve as a budget submission, not just a report.
AI Governance & Compliance
The framework, controls and evidence base to satisfy modern AI regulation — aligned to ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, with data-protection mapping (GDPR and your sector's rules), an AI inventory, a model register and an approval workflow. Often the first step for regulated and public-sector organisations.
AI Strategy, Architecture & Roadmap
Your AI plan tied to your business strategy, a target architecture, a model strategy with data-residency and sovereign-hosting options where required, an operating model and Center of Excellence design, and an investment case your board can approve.
Center of Excellence & Team Enablement
Standing up your own AI capability so the next use case does not need a consultant — operating model, intake and decision gates, delivery playbooks, governance built into how work is approved, and training tracks for executives, analysts, engineers and governance owners.
AI Advisory Retainer
A senior adviser on call for the decisions that arise between projects — architecture and vendor choices reviewed before you commit, business cases challenged, governance answered as it comes up, and your roadmap reviewed and re-sequenced each quarter.
Who we work with
The same decision discipline, shaped to your sector's regulators, data-residency rules and buyers.
Governance that stands up to audit
An AI governance baseline, policies and a model register that satisfy regulators — and procurement.
Data residency by design
Deployment mapped to your data-residency and sovereignty requirements, with transfer risk assessed before anything moves.
Citizen-service use cases
Opportunities scored on public value and feasibility, with accessibility and language needs treated as requirements.
Budget-ready business cases
Roadmaps and investment cases written in the form your finance and oversight bodies actually approve.
How an engagement runs
- 1
Scope and fixed fee
We agree the question, the scope and the fee in writing before we start — paid against milestones. No day-rate meters, no open-ended discovery.
- 2
Interviews before frameworks
We start with your people and your data. The framework is only how we organise what we find — not a template we arrive with.
- 3
Everything is scored
Value, feasibility, risk and complexity, on a published scale you can see and disagree with. Nothing ranks without a reason.
- 4
A decision at every gate
Each engagement has named checkpoints with a decision attached. Our recommendation is independent of the build — where buying beats building, we say so.
- 5
A roadmap you own
You leave with a decision you can act on — a plan, a business case and named owners — whether you build with your own teams, your integrator, or us.
Evidence, not opinion
How we work, on every engagement.
Interviews before frameworks
We start with your people and your data, not a reference model. The framework is how we organise what we find.
Everything is scored
Value, feasibility, risk and complexity on a published scale. You can see why something ranked where it did — and disagree with it.
Independent of the build
Our recommendation is not tied to a platform, a model vendor or a cloud. Where buying beats building, we say so.
Senior people only
Small teams of experienced consultants and architects. No pyramid, no junior learning on your budget.
Decision gates, not status reports
Each engagement has named checkpoints with a decision attached. You can stop at any of them.
A fixed fee, not a meter
Every engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before we start — no day-rate billing, no open-ended discovery.
You see the budget before we start.
Every engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, paid in milestones. No day-rate meters. No open-ended discovery. No recommendation you cannot act on without us.
Why this, and not the alternative
The questions your procurement team will ask anyway.

Most AI programmes do not fail on the technology. They fail on decisions taken before anyone builds — the wrong use case, data that was never ready, no owner once the vendor leaves. Our job is to get those decisions right, in writing, for a fixed fee agreed before we start — and to stay independent of who eventually builds, so the advice survives contact with reality.

Common questions
What exactly do we get, and how is the fee set?
You get a decision you can act on — a scored opportunity map, a readiness assessment, a governance framework, a strategy and roadmap, or an advisory retainer, depending on the engagement. Every engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before we start and paid against milestones. No day-rate meters and no open-ended discovery.
Do we have to commit to a full programme, or can we start small?
You can start with a single day. The Executive AI Value Workshop turns your leadership team's ambition into five costed, ranked opportunities and a 90-day plan. Any engagement can be taken one step at a time, and you can stop at any decision gate.
Do you cover AI governance and compliance?
Yes. Our AI Governance & Compliance engagement aligns you to ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, with data-protection mapping (GDPR and your sector's rules) — an AI inventory, a gap assessment, a model register, an approval workflow and a board reporting pack. For regulated and public-sector organisations it is often the first step.
What languages and regions do you work in?
We work with enterprises and public-sector organisations worldwide, in English and Arabic, and we map every engagement to your region's data-residency and regulatory requirements.
You recommend — but do you also build?
Our advice is independent of the build. Once a roadmap is agreed, implementation can be sourced from your own teams, your existing integrator, or from Softermii — priced separately, and never assumed. Our architecture recommendations can, and sometimes do, conclude that a given platform is the wrong choice.
Who is this for?
Enterprises and public-sector organisations that have bought AI but not yet made it work — CEOs, CIOs, CDOs, chief risk and compliance officers, heads of transformation, and the leaders of newly created AI offices.
Start with one day.
An Executive AI Value Workshop gives your leadership team five costed opportunities and a 90-day plan — for a fixed fee, agreed before we start. To book, we need two weeks' notice and a date.
