Where AI value lives
The four AI value patterns — productivity lift, process automation, agent-led work, and the one that drains capital quietly. Plus the portfolio-shape test.
Building the AI portfolio
Diagnose-Train-Innovate-Build-Sustain as one programme. The 12-month enterprise band: $500k–$1.5M.
Capital allocation
Three rules: phase-gated funding, 70/20/10, 20% sustainment reserve. Build, buy, or partner — one filter decides.
Talent & org design
CoE vs federated vs hub-and-spoke. The five roles you need by year two. The 20/40/40 year-one sourcing mix.
Governance
Inventory, tiering, controls, response. The three questions your board will ask — and how to answer them.
Sustaining momentum
The year-two stall pattern — and the three disciplines that prevent it. 18-month mandate renewal in three slides.
Board reporting
Four numbers, four narratives, one page. Cadence by audience — weekly sponsor, monthly forum, quarterly board.
Capstone — Your AI strategy on one page
Five sections. Anyone in the C-suite reads it in two minutes. The conversation script for CFO, COO, and GC alignment.
