AI Kickstart

Strategic AI startup for your organization

Many management teams know they need to act on AI – but get stuck in uncertainty, unclear priorities and a lack of structure. AI Kickstart is a packaged setup that gives you a consensus, a clear direction and a concrete next step. Both in terms of skills development and technical solutions.

From discussion to decision

AI Kickstart is a structured effort for organizations that want to take control of their AI work. Through workshops, current situation analysis and a joint report, we create the conditions for setting the right priorities, allocating responsibilities and getting started – without taking too big a grip from the start.

The initiative is designed for organisations, or parts of organisations, with 50–500 employees who are at an early or unstructured stage of their AI journey.

Typical challenges

  • AI is used unsystematically and without context
  • Difficult to prioritize the right initiative among many ideas
  • Lack of internal competence and clear ownership
  • Unclear policies and responsibilities
  • Uncertainty about risk and compliance, including the EU’s AI Act

Structure

AI Kickstart includes two workshops and a mapping via interviews and surveys. The results are documented in a report that serves as a basis for decision-making for future initiatives and investments.

Workshop 1 – Leadership roles. Creates a consensus on what AI actually means for your business: opportunities, risks, current situation and priorities. Participants are typically leadership roles as well as AI enthusiasts in the organization.

Workshop 2 – Roadmap In-depth knowledge of architecture, data, governance, competence needs and use-case inventory. Resulting in a prioritized list and a concrete 90-day plan.

Report Documents the entire operation and contains:

  • Current situation picture and AI maturity assessment
  • Identified and prioritized use cases
  • Proposed AI policy and guidelines
  • Architecture and data recommendations
  • Recommended programme syllabus
  • Proposal for a 90-day roadmap
  • Decision basis for the next step

What you get

  • Consensus in management on AI’s opportunities and risks
  • Clear priorities and distributed responsibilities
  • A concrete AI roadmap to act on
  • Reduced regulatory and safety risk
  • Better decision-making support for continued AI investments

Packaging and price

AI Kickstart is normally carried out at a fixed price and includes two workshops and a current situation analysis with an associated report.

The initiative can be supplemented with continued AI programs and subscriptions for ongoing skills development and follow-up.
