Turn AI From a Blind Spot Into a Competitive Advantage
A focused sprint that maps where AI lives in your organization, which use cases create real business value, and how to scale them safely with executive oversight.
Built for Leaders Who Need Clarity on AI Across the Business
Our readiness sprint is designed for organizations where AI is already in use — formally or informally — and leadership needs a clear picture of value, risk, and next steps.
Financial Services, Insurance & Fintech
Gain executive visibility into AI usage across customer-facing and operational processes, and align it with regulatory and reputational expectations.
HR Tech, Healthcare, Education & Public Sector
Identify high-impact AI use cases in sensitive domains, prioritize controls, and protect customer and stakeholder trust.
Mid-Market & Enterprise Adopters
For companies rolling out Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, or other AI platforms — bring shadow AI into the open and turn pilots into measurable business outcomes.
AI Is Already in Your Organization. Do You Know Where?
Most leadership teams are managing AI adoption reactively. These are the gaps that create the most risk.
No clear picture of where AI is actually used across the organization
Shadow AI initiatives spreading faster than leadership can oversee
Difficulty separating high-value AI use cases from low-impact experiments
Unclear business, operational, and reputational risk from existing AI tools
Vendor and third-party AI exposure without a structured assessment
No prioritized roadmap for scaling AI safely and confidently
Get ahead of the risks before they surface.
EU AI Act Readiness Sprint
A structured, business-first assessment that turns scattered AI usage into a clear, executive-level plan for value creation and controlled scaling.
AI Use Case Discovery
Uncover every meaningful AI use case in the organization — including informal and shadow AI — across departments, tools, and vendors
Business Value Prioritization
Separate the AI initiatives that drive efficiency, revenue, or customer experience from those that add complexity without measurable return
Risk & Exposure Heatmap
Map operational, reputational, legal, and vendor-related risks across use cases — so leadership knows where to act first
Scaling & Governance Framework
Define the minimum controls, ownership, and decision rights needed to scale AI faster, not slower, with executive confidence
Action Plan & Roadmap
A prioritized 90-day action plan plus a 12-month AI governance and scaling roadmap aligned with business goals

How It Works
A structured 2-week process designed to fit your schedule without disrupting operations.
Executive Alignment
Day 1–2We align with the leadership team on business priorities, current AI initiatives, key concerns, and the decisions you need this sprint to support.
AI Use Case Discovery
Day 2–5Through structured interviews, surveys, and tool reviews across business units, we uncover both formal AI projects and shadow AI usage already in place.
Value & Risk Assessment
Day 5–8We evaluate each use case along two axes: business value (efficiency, revenue, customer experience) and exposure (operational, reputational, legal, vendor). The output is a clear heatmap.
Gap & Vendor Review
Day 7–9We assess the key operational, technological, and vendor-related gaps — including third-party AI tools, data flows, and accountability for high-impact use cases.
Roadmap & Action Plan
Day 9–12We translate findings into a prioritized 90-day action plan and a 12-month AI governance and scaling roadmap, tied to specific owners and business outcomes.
Executive Presentation
Day 13–14We present findings, recommendations, and the roadmap to your leadership team or board, and support follow-up decisions on prioritization and investment.
Timeline may be extended for larger organizations or multi-country scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a compliance project or a business project?
It is a business project first. We use the EU AI Act as a structuring lens, but the focus is on where AI creates value, where it creates risk, and how leadership can scale it safely. Compliance becomes a natural by-product of doing this well.
How long does the sprint take?
The standard engagement runs 2 weeks from kickoff to executive presentation. For larger organizations or multi-country scope, we extend the timeline and adjust the team accordingly.
What does the final deliverable include?
You receive an AI use case inventory, a business value and risk heatmap, a vendor exposure overview, a key gap analysis, a 90-day action plan, a 12-month governance and scaling roadmap, and an executive presentation tailored to your leadership team or board.
How much does the readiness sprint cost?
Engagements start from €2,500 for a standard 2-week sprint. Final pricing depends on the size of the organization, the number of business units in scope, and the depth of vendor and third-party review required.
What types of companies is this service designed for?
We work with mid-market and enterprise organizations across financial services, insurance, fintech, HR tech, healthcare, education, public sector, and B2B SaaS companies embedding AI into their products. The common thread is that AI is already in use and leadership needs a clearer picture to make confident decisions.
How much involvement is required from our team?
Expect a short executive kickoff, 8 to 15 structured interviews across business units and IT, a few targeted surveys, and a working session to validate findings. We design the process to minimize disruption and concentrate effort where it generates the most insight.
Do you support implementation after the sprint?
Yes. After the sprint, we can support execution of the 90-day plan and the 12-month roadmap — including governance setup, high-priority use case redesign, vendor reviews, and rollout of enterprise AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT Enterprise.
