Build an AI strategy that works for your organisation
Unsure of where to begin with AI? While this powerful technology has great potential, understanding how it fits into your organisation and how it can solve your business problems can be difficult. That’s where the AI Kickstart comes in—it’s designed to help start your AI journey the right way.
This engagement will last two days and help your organisation identify and build the right foundation for efficient AI adoption. We know that starting this journey can often be the most challenging part, but our experts are here to help you create an AI strategy that suits your unique needs.
What is the AI Kick-Start?
The AI Kickstart is an opportunity to get hands-on support through different workshops run by our experts. These sessions will teach you the basics of AI, help you plan your next steps, and support you in deploying a customised solution so that you can make the most of AI’s benefits.
If you’re still unsure of how AI could work for you or what your next steps should be. Our engagement also includes an envisioning session to help you identify AI use cases that you can develop, and understand potential roadblocks, and guardrails necessary to scale those use cases in future.
Through this engagement, we aim to provide you with a solid foundation for your AI journey—a clear blueprint for achieving AI success. This accelerated session serves as the catalyst you need to adopt and sustain your future AI initiatives confidently.
Gain a clear understanding of the available technologies and how they align with your specific use cases.

So, how does the AI Kick-Start work?
Pre-engagement
This is a chance for our experts to gather data prior to the workshops to understand your landscape. This process involves collecting comprehensive information on the business operations, technical infrastructure, and data governance strategies. This stage allows us to get a more holistic view of your environment and better tailor the workshops to your specific needs and objectives.
AI Kickstart Delivery – Educate + Understand Workshop
This workshop focuses on educating by providing an overview of all Microsoft AI offerings and highlighting example use cases.Our experts will also evaluate the existing operational framework to pinpoint opportunities for smooth AI integration, and we will discuss potential challenges and dependencies necessary for AI implementation.
AI Kickstart Delivery – Envisioning Workshop
In this workshop, our experts will run a design thinking and envisioning session to help identify potential business challenges and areas that can benefit from AI enhancements. They will also refine and prioritise the previously identified use cases. This process aims to ensure that the most impactful applications of AI are brought to the forefront for development and implementation.

Post engagement
Once we finish the engagement, you will be walked through the results. Covering what has been found from the envisioning session, point out any risks with AI implementation, and provide a straightforward roadmap for where and how AI can be adopted.
By dividing the process into these phases, the AI Kickstart ensures that every aspect of AI implementation is thoroughly considered and executed, from initial vision to final execution. This approach not only maximises efficiency and effectiveness but also helps to avoid common pitfalls that could hinder success.
The AI Kick-start programme is crucial for organisations seeking a clear and actionable AI roadmap. AI opens up many opportunities, such as increasing productivity, reducing operational costs, and significantly expanding an organisation’s data capabilities.
