AI Studios · Consulting
A six-week strategy engagement, not a six-month one.
We come in, do the discovery, surface the opportunities with the biggest return, and leave you with a plan your team can execute on. No ten-person consulting brigades. No glossy decks that age out in three months. Just a clear-eyed read on where AI fits, what to build first, and what it will cost to do it well.
The six-week shape
What happens, week by week
Every consulting engagement follows the same backbone. Weeks compress or stretch based on org size and stakeholder availability. The structure is fixed, the cadence is yours.
Discovery
- Stakeholder interviews across leadership, engineering, ops, and front-line teams
- Inventory of current AI tools (sanctioned and unsanctioned)
- Behavioural baseline via AI IQ across a representative sample
- Read-out of where capability and friction live today
Use-case identification
- Long-list of candidate AI applications across each function
- Scored on business value, technical viability, and risk exposure
- Filtered to a short-list of three to six high-confidence opportunities
- Each candidate scoped enough to estimate effort and impact
Roadmap
- Sequencing recommendation: what to build first, second, third
- Required investment in tools, training, and policy alongside each item
- Risk register: what could go wrong, what to monitor, what would force a pause
- Six-month milestones with measurable check-ins
Stakeholder alignment
- Executive read-out. Board-ready slides with the recommendation distilled
- Implementation kickoff with the team that will own delivery
- Optional handoff into MaxtDesign AI Studios deployment work, or to your internal team
- A single document the org can refer back to in three months
Best fit
Where consulting earns its keep
Post-pilot organisations
You've run a few AI experiments, learned things, and need to make sense of them before committing real budget. Consulting turns scattered learning into a defensible plan.
New leadership inheriting AI strategy
A new CTO, CIO, or Head of AI walking into an existing AI estate needs a clean, independent read on what's working and what isn't before they make their own moves.
Regulated industries
Healthcare, finance, legal, and public sector orgs need a roadmap that respects regulatory posture from day one. We bring the AI fluency; you bring the regulatory specifics.
What you walk away with
Three documents your team can actually use
Discovery report
Findings from interviews, AI IQ baseline, and tool inventory. The org\'s honest current-state.
Roadmap
Sequenced opportunities with effort, impact, and risk estimates. Six-month milestones.
Executive deck
Board-ready summary. Distils the recommendation into the dozen slides leadership actually reads.
