The Playbook

Production AI in 4 Weeks

A proven 7-step process to make your business AI-native. Not another strategy deck - a repeatable framework that delivers working AI solutions every month.

The 7-Step AI Transformation Playbook

Each step is designed for speed without sacrificing enterprise-grade quality

1

Select or Define an AI Workflow

Choose an AI Solution from our library or let our POD work with your CXOs to identify and refine a high-impact use case.

2

Scope the Requirements

Our Product Manager aligns with business, compliance, and tech stakeholders to create a clear, actionable functional spec with success metrics.

3

Build the Solution

AI Engineers in collaboration with your team gather required data, use ready-to-use AI workflows or build a new one, and test the solution end-to-end.

4

Ensure Governance & Security

AI Governance Engineers partner with your CISO team to validate safety, compliance, guardrails, access controls, and prepare complete AI solution for UAT.

5

Deploy & Operate

Deployment Specialists help you integrate the solution with your systems, monitor performance, ensure uptime, and keep the lights on.

6

Measure & Improve

Track value delivered, monitor KPIs, tune models, and refine workflows for better accuracy, adoption, and performance.

7

Repeat for the Next Use Case

Repeat the process for the next function. Each cycle gets faster as your intelligence mesh matures and reusable components accelerate rollout.

Why This Playbook Works

Built from hundreds of enterprise AI implementations

Time-Boxed Delivery

4 weeks forces focus. No scope creep, no endless discovery phases. You get a working solution or clear learnings - never just a report.

Governance Built-In

Security and compliance aren't afterthoughts. Every cycle includes governance review, so you never have to choose between speed and safety.

Compounding Returns

Each cycle adds to your intelligence mesh. Reusable components, trained models, and institutional knowledge make every subsequent project faster.

Knowledge Transfer

Your team learns alongside ours. By cycle 3-4, you can run much of the playbook internally. We build capability, not dependency.

What 4 Weeks Looks Like

A typical sprint timeline from kickoff to production

Week 1: Discovery

Stakeholder interviews, requirements documentation, data assessment, and technical architecture. Ends with approved spec and success metrics.

Week 2: Build

Core development sprint. Data pipeline setup, model development or customization, API integration. Daily standups and demos.

Week 3: Governance

Security review, compliance validation, guardrail implementation, access controls. UAT with business users and CISO sign-off.

Week 4: Launch

Production deployment, monitoring setup, documentation handoff, training sessions. Go-live with full support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our AI transformation playbook

How long does it take to deliver an AI solution using this playbook? +

Each cycle of the playbook delivers a production-ready AI use case in 4 weeks. This includes discovery, development, governance review, and deployment. Complex solutions requiring multiple integrations may span 2-3 cycles.

What makes this AI playbook different from traditional consulting? +

Traditional consulting delivers strategy documents over 3-6 months. This playbook delivers working AI solutions in production every 4 weeks. It's designed for iteration, not analysis paralysis, with built-in governance and continuous improvement.

Can we use this playbook for multiple AI use cases? +

Yes, the playbook is designed to be repeatable. Each cycle gets faster as your intelligence mesh matures - reusable components, trained models, and POD expertise accelerate subsequent rollouts. Many clients run 3-4 use cases in their first quarter.

What happens if we need to change requirements mid-cycle? +

The playbook includes weekly checkpoints with stakeholders. Minor scope adjustments are handled within the cycle. Major pivots are planned for the next 4-week cycle to maintain delivery velocity and quality.

What if we don't have clean data ready? +

Data readiness is assessed in Week 1. If significant data work is needed, we may dedicate cycle 1 to data preparation and pipeline setup, with the AI solution delivered in cycle 2. We're transparent about timelines based on your actual state.
