AI Strategy Sprint
From boardroom mandate to executable roadmap, in 4 weeks.
Investment scaled to scope · Custom mini-proposal in 48 hours after the discovery call · 4-6 weeks
When this service is the right answer
Your CEO has been pushed by the board: "we have to do AI." Your CIO has fifteen PoCs scattered across business units and doesn't know which to kill. Your CFO wants ROI before approving the next round of spending. Your Head of HR wants to know whether AI will replace people or augment them.
Everyone — board, IT, business, finance — needs the same thing: a serious, independent document, ready for the next board meeting.
Not another GenAI deck. Not another ChatGPT demo. A strategy that's executable, financially defensible, and — above all — true.
Program output
- Six structured workshops with board, IT, business units, finance, legal, HR — not a quick interview each, but real sessions where the uncomfortable questions emerge
- A cross-functional AI maturity assessment that measures where you actually are, not where you think you are
- An inventory of all existing AI initiatives with explicit recommendation per item: kill, scale, keep
- A three-horizon roadmap (90 days, 180 days, 12 months) with priorities, dependencies, owners
- The financial business case for the top three use cases, with NPV, payback, worst/base/best scenarios
- A neutral vendor shortlist for cloud, models, system integrators — neutral because I take no commission
- A first-pass governance model: RACI, AI committee, monitoring KPIs
- An executive presentation ready for your next board meeting
All delivered in person, in a half-day handover session. Not a PDF emailed over.
How the four weeks unfold
Week 1 — Discovery
Three days on-site. Workshops with C-level, interviews with business unit heads, access to existing documents. The territory map emerges from this.
Week 2 — Assessment
Maturity analysis along five axes: data, infrastructure, talent, processes, governance. Inventory of existing AI initiatives, case-by-case evaluation. Mid-program output: a 20-30 page document that's already half the value.
Week 3 — Roadmap & business case
Prioritization workshop with the client. Top three use cases, financial modeling, vendor scouting. The hard decisions get made here.
Week 4 — Synthesis & handover
Final document, board presentation, governance model. Half-day handover where the client takes the baton.
This program is for you if
- You're CEO, COO, CIO or Chief Strategy Officer of a European mid-large company (€50M-€2B revenue)
- You need to bring an AI position paper to the board within the next three months
- You've already tried internal workshops or "light" consultancies and they didn't produce decisions
- You want an advisor who personally signs the strategy, not a junior team with a partner who shows up at kickoff
Who it's not for
- Companies under €20M revenue (the price isn't justified and other formats work better)
- Those looking for a vendor to execute directly — this is advisory; PiirZ Digital or your preferred integrator handles execution
- Those who want a generic "industry-valid" strategy — I write strategies for your specific company
How the investment works
Discovery call (30 minutes, free): we understand your specific case, the stakeholders involved, the breadth of the scope.
Written mini-proposal in 48 hours: scope, deliverables, calendar, exact investment calibrated to your real perimeter.
Scoping call (60 minutes, if the mini-proposal is on track): we define operational details and specific outputs.
SOW + contract: signature and kickoff within 5 working days. Payment in two tranches, 50% at kickoff and 50% at handover.
The same program for different organizations is worth different amounts: a tier-2 bank, a manufacturing SME and a multi-BU holding don't have the same scope, risk, or stakeholder breadth. That's why the investment is defined in the mini-proposal, not on the website.
Guarantee: if the program isn't producing value within the first month, I refund 50% of the fee and we part as friends.
Frequently asked questions
Can a serious strategy really be done in four weeks?
Yes, if the program is dense and the client is available. Most AI strategies fail not from lack of time but from lack of focus. Four intense weeks with a senior advisor generate more value than six months of scattered workshops.
What happens after the four weeks?
Three options: (a) your internal team executes the roadmap, (b) you engage PiirZ Digital or another supplier for execution, (c) you keep me on as Fractional Chief AI Officer.
Can I talk to a client who's already done this program?
Yes. In the discovery call I'll connect you with two references — one enterprise, one public sector.
What if mid-program I realize this isn't what I needed?
You have thirty days from kickoff to stop with one reason: "it's not working." I refund half the fee minus direct expenses.
