01Readiness and prioritisation

Map operational bottlenecks, identify the strongest AI opportunities, and sequence work by speed-to-value and adoption risk.

02Pilot and implementation

Deploy one high-confidence use case into the real operating environment with governance, training, and practical handover support.

03Scale and governance

Expand what works, improve performance, and maintain executive visibility so AI remains aligned with business priorities.
