01 / 04 —— WHEN YOU NEED IT
When AI needs a plan
The board is asking about AI, budgets are spread across disconnected pilots and every vendor has a tool to sell. Activity is high, but value is hard to show.
A strategy turns that activity into a short list of bets the business will fund, own and measure.

Grounded in your ERP
Plans reflect what your data and ERP can support today, so the first steps can start straight away.
FAQ —— QUESTIONS LEADERS ASK
AI strategy: common questions
What does an AI strategy engagement deliver?
A ranked portfolio of AI use cases, a value case for each, the operating model to run them, and a 12–24-month roadmap your board can approve and fund.
How is this different from a strategy deck from a large consultancy?
The partner who builds the strategy stays to deliver it. We have spent 20+ years inside SAP and ERP programmes, so every use case is tested against your data, systems and people before it reaches the roadmap.
How long does it take?
Most strategies take 6–8 weeks, depending on how many business units are in scope and how ready your data is.
Do we need a data platform in place first?
No. Part of the work is finding out what your current ERP and data estate can support now, and what has to be fixed before each use case can pay back.
Are you tied to any AI or software vendor?
No. We are independent, so our recommendations follow your business model, not a licence target.
