AI & Data QuickScan
The AI & Data Control Scan: one diagnosis of your data, reporting and AI use — before you invest.
Boards and management teams who want to know where they stand on data, reporting and AI — and the logical order of investment.
Uncertainty about bottlenecks, risks and opportunities. You know it can be better, but not where to start — and investing without overview leads to scattered initiatives.
- Inventory of systems, Excel files and reports
- Analysis of bottlenecks in finance, operations and management information
- Assessment of AI opportunities and AI risks
- Initial assessment of data quality and dependencies
- A concrete advisory report with priorities and a roadmap
- Intake conversation: your situation, questions and ambition
- Focused analysis of systems, reporting and AI use, with a few short interviews
- Advisory report with priorities and a roadmap
- Review of the findings and the follow-up decision
Sample reports, an overview of your systems and two or three conversations with key people.
Implementation and build — the scan is a diagnosis. Building happens afterwards, focused and based on the roadmap.
Logical next step: the Management Cockpit Sprint or AI Workflow Sprint, depending on where the roadmap shows the biggest gains.
Book an AI & Data QuickScan →Management Cockpit Sprint
Organisations steering on scattered reports and Excel, ready for one reliable view for management, finance and operations.
Reporting takes manual work, figures contradict each other because definitions differ, and no one fully trusts the numbers.
- Shared definitions and a clear KPI structure, with ownership per KPI
- A management cockpit (Power BI) on reliable data sources
- An underlying, extensible data model
- Connection to source systems or existing exports
- Validation with finance/operations, handover and documentation
- Definition workshop: what the core figures mean, and who owns them
- Data model and connection to your sources
- Cockpit build in short iterations, together with the users
- Validation with finance and operations, then handover
Access to source systems or exports, your KPI wishes, and availability of finance/operations for validation.
Restructuring source systems and software licences. Data-quality issues at the source are flagged and addressed in consultation.
Logical next step: continued development and monitoring via the Fractional AI & Data Officer.
Discuss your management information →AI Workflow Sprint
Teams already using AI informally — or wanting to start deliberately — who now want to apply it under control, safely and with agreements, in one concrete workflow.
AI is used ad hoc, without agreements on quality, safety and privacy — or pilots stall without demonstrable business value.
- One clearly scoped workflow with a baseline and an intended result
- Working AI support with human decision points — a person confirms
- Safe work instructions and a prompt library, fitting privacy and security
- Evaluation of quality and errors, with adoption and training
- Workable agreements on ownership and use
- Process selection and baseline: what it costs now, what it should deliver
- Design with explicit human decision points
- Build and test, together with the people who will use it
- Working agreements, training and an evaluation moment
One scoped process, the people involved and representative sample documents or cases.
Fully automated decision-making — deliberately: AI output is a proposal with us, a person confirms. Legal advice is also outside the sprint.
Logical next step: scaling to a next process, or structural direction via the Fractional AI & Data Officer.
Plan a process exploration →Fractional AI & Data Officer
Organisations that need structural direction on AI and data — course, priorities and accountability — without hiring a full-time specialist.
Initiatives stall, knowledge sits with a few people, no one structurally weighs costs, benefits and risks — and management lacks a mandated point of contact.
- An AI and data portfolio: priorities and business cases in one overview
- Governance and policy: working agreements, an AI register and supplier assessment
- AI literacy: guidance and formats for your staff
- Monitoring of costs and benefits, risks and incidents
- Quarterly reporting to management or the board, plus continued development of cockpits and workflows
- Starting point: establish the portfolio and quarterly agenda
- A fixed monthly rhythm with management and the teams involved
- Getting and keeping the register, policy and supplier agreements in order
- Every quarter: reporting, evaluation and updated priorities
A fixed point of contact within your organisation and management agenda time for the monthly and quarterly rhythm.
Full-time capacity and large build projects — those run as scoped sprints alongside the direction role.
This is the lasting control the journey works towards; sprints and further development connect to it.
