Interdisciplinary Expertise for All
A Chief AI Officer is multi-disciplinary role focused on the why - defining where and why AI should be used to advance the business and it's stakeholders. While a CTO is more concerned with the how - choosing and building the technology to make it work. The CAIO ensures AI adoption is purposeful, governed, and tied directly to strategy. The CAIO also works closely with stakeholders to minimise disruption caused by fear of change and other cultural impacts.Value & Impact
We use a Strategic AI Use Case Scoring Matrix. This framework provides CAIOs and senior executives with a structured, transparent, and repeatable approach to assessing, selecting, and sequencing AI initiatives.
Futureproofing your AI Strategy
There is a reason why we are taught to look left and right when crossing the road. What does quantum computing mean for AI? What does the widening gap between AI use by country mean for your supply chain? What do driverless cars mean for the price of real-estate or the future of work? Asking 'What if', assigning a probability to those outcomes and assessing the impact allows you to prepare for possible futures.
Let's Have a Chat
Our solutions are designed with local cultural norms in mind. Whether you are a private company or a government organization, our facilitators understand who is in the room and how to respect your organisational culture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Growth Strategy Workshop Facilitation.
It depends. The cost of professional facilitation varies considerably depending on the specific needs of your team, the numbers involved and the outcomes required.
Fees can range from as little as $USD 5,000 for shorter, team-based events up to $USD 45,000 for Leadership, Board, National or International engagements.
Other drivers of cost include:
- Venue and Logistics (Travel, accomodation, catering etc)
- Discovery, including interviews & surveys
- Add-on events e.g. Team Building, Training, Dinner
- Post-workshop follow up including AI licenses and Dashboards.
- Administration & workflow requirements (Archiving, Compliance, Board Responsibilities)
We recommend 2 day workshops. 1 day can work if everyone comes prepared, but it can feel rushed. 2 days allows for more consideration, with an evening event often helping to create a sense of comradery and alignment. Being able to reflect on day one with the benefit of a night's sleep can also create better outcomes. 3 days is a long time for leaders to be out of the office.
The hard part is finding a time in all the leaders' diaries, so make sure you leave enough time to plan and have some fallback dates.
