AI Adoption Est.$1,999Starting

Mid-market leadership teams rarely have bandwidth for heavy AI governance structures, so without a simple operating rhythm, AI decisions stay ad-hoc, competing priorities collide, and sponsorship fades after the first wave of enthusiasm.

The outcomeThe leadership team has a lightweight decision rhythm for AI: what they own, how they review value, how they protect capacity for adoption work, and how they sequence the next investments. AI stops being a side project and becomes a managed portfolio.

What you get

  • Clarified AI decision rights for the leadership team
  • A simple portfolio view of active and candidate initiatives
  • A quarterly or monthly review rhythm with clear go/no-go and resource decisions
  • Capacity protection rules so adoption work is not constantly deprioritized

How we prove it · Your agreed metrics

  • Percentage of AI initiatives with explicit executive sponsors
