Real challenges. Measurable outcomes.

A selection of engagements across digital transformation, AI strategy, and executive education.

AI Strategy

Financial Services · UK

Building an enterprise AI strategy for a mid-size bank

The Challenge

A mid-size UK bank had invested significantly in AI tooling but lacked a coherent strategy. Teams were running disconnected pilots with no shared framework for prioritisation, governance, or measurement.

Our Approach

We ran an 8-week AI strategy engagement: assessing maturity across six dimensions, facilitating executive alignment workshops, and producing a prioritised AI roadmap with governance structures and success metrics.

Digital Transformation

Public Sector · Central Government

Digital operating model redesign for a government agency

The Challenge

A central government agency was struggling to deliver digital services at pace. Legacy operating structures and fragmented technology teams were creating bottlenecks and eroding public trust.

Our Approach

Working with the agency's leadership over 12 weeks, we redesigned their digital operating model — introducing product-led teams, service ownership, and a governance framework balancing agility with accountability.

Education

FTSE 250 · Manufacturing

AI leadership programme for 120 senior managers

The Challenge

A FTSE 250 manufacturer was rolling out AI tools across operations. Senior managers lacked the confidence and vocabulary to lead their teams through the change — creating anxiety and inconsistent adoption.

Our Approach

We designed and delivered a bespoke 2-day AI Leadership Programme for four cohorts of 30 managers, combining AI fundamentals with practical decision-making frameworks and change leadership tools.

AI Governance

NHS Trust · Healthcare

AI governance framework for a large NHS Trust

The Challenge

An NHS Trust was being approached by AI vendors and needed a robust governance framework before any deployments — covering ethics, procurement, clinical risk, and staff impact.

Our Approach

We developed a comprehensive AI Governance Framework tailored to NHS context: an AI ethics policy, vendor assessment toolkit, clinical AI risk register template, and board-level reporting dashboard.
